Trivia
A pool was set up on stage nine during the production (stage nine is one of the largest on Toho's lot in Setagaya). They used the pool, which was about five feet deep, to film the shot of Godzilla rising above the surface of the ocean. Haruo Nakajima (the actor in Godzilla suit) was on a cart on a rail. He held onto the handle of the cart while it was towed by a truck. As the cart moved forward, he slowly rose out of the water. He wore a very tiny air cylinder that contained enough air for about ten minutes. The water that rushed by his face while the cart was being towed made it very difficult for him to prevent the mouthpiece from coming out of his mouth.
This was the second film of the Godzilla series to be sold directly to TV (the first one was Goszilla vs. the Sea Monster (Gojira-Ebira-Mosura: Nankai no daiketto (1966)).
Much of this film was done on Guam not only to take advantage of the island locale, but to save money by not having to build costly miniatures.
