- QuizDuring the process of dubbing the film for American audiences, Russ Tamblyn's audio track was lost, meaning that he had to re-dub all his lines, which might explain why he sounds so disinterested throughout the film. Due to improvising much of the dialogue, he had to rely on memory and reading lip movements to re-dub it.
- BlooperIn the scene where a helicopter is used to lure the green gargantuan into the laser attack, the wire used to suspend the model helicopter can clearly be seen.
- Citazioni
Akemi Togawa: They don't seem to be afraid of Gaira.
Dr. Paul Stewart: Ah, they're young; young people don't have too much fear... It's strange, you know. Whenever there's a strong evil force around, youth seems to blossom. Like when the Nazi's captured Paris. All of the night clubs and theaters were filled with young people.
Akemi Togawa: Aren't we guilty of doing the same thing?
Dr. Paul Stewart: I don't feel guilt; I don't think they do either...
- Versioni alternativeCo-producer Henry Saperstein commissioned an English-dubbed US version using Glen Glenn Sound, a Los Angeles-based company. This version removes references to the preceding film, Frankenstein Conquers the World, with the creatures being referred to as "Gargantuas" instead of "Frankensteins." However, this version also includes additional footage not featured in the original Japanese version, including the scene where Dr. Stewart references a severed hand, supposedly Frankenstein's from the previous film.

Barebones Summary (without spoiling it for the inexperienced viewer):
A beautiful young female scientist, Akemi (pronounced uh-kay-mee '), does research on a docile, missing-link-like monster child -eventually called `The Brown One.' (There is a cute scene in which Akemi feeds it a chocolate bar, soon after it has played with children's toys). One day the small and hairy young creature escapes the laboratory and grows up alone in the forest. Some years later Akemi meets an American scientist, Paul Stewart, and you just know these two lovebirds are going to fall in love.
Meanwhile at Tokyo International, a huge green monster pops out of the ocean and proves everybody wrong when they say Airport food is lousy. The ugly sea titan sticks its hand in an office window, pulls out an even uglier cleaning lady and shoves it in his mouth. As it munches away and spits out the wrapping (clothes), the clouds overhead start to clear (Ouch, it hates the light!), so it peels-off down the runway and dive-bombs into the ocean.
Elsewhere that evening, aboard a luxury yacht, an American singer belts out a corny love ballad to her formal audience-`The words get stuck in my throat ' (And you just know someone--or something--will soon put a stop to her awful singing).
Before you know it, the behemoth brothers meet several times to resume their sibling rivalries by knocking the wind out of each other, smashing military vehicles of all shapes and sizes, and knocking over downtown buildings.
I believe WOTG offers considerably more than your usual Toho Studios/Japanese Monster Movie, and could do with a modern spin (provided the original plot is not much altered as to seem another film entirely). It certainly has its comedic moments, as already mentioned. There are infinite possibilities in remaking it. The Japanese are great at creating model tanks and realistic building models all that stuff. And the title creatures are scary looking Green' looks like a gargoyle without horns, and Brown' looks like a somewhat frightening, foreign version of Frankenstein's montster
