Editing Destroy All Monsters (section)

===Filming===
Director Honda was fascinated by the concept of a "monster farm", in particular the idea of how humanity could feed them. He noted that a "huge amount of protein" would be needed and envisioned cloning along with undersea farming to accomplish this. However, despite the director's fascination with this concept, the final movie devotes very little time to it outside of the brief introduction to Monsterland and showing Rodan feasting on a dolphin. The director laments that of the original complex idea only the basic "idea of [a] Monster Island survived."

As the film has several monsters who continuously return in the films, the location was developed to be a faraway island where the monsters are pacified.{{sfn|Kalat|1997|p=98}} This tied other films not related to the ''Godzilla'' series within its universe, as creatures such as [[Manda (kaiju)|Manda]] (from ''[[Atragon]]'') and [[Varan]] (''[[Varan the Unbelievable]]'') exist.{{sfn|Kalat|1997|p=98}} The film features footage from ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]'' (1964), specifically [[King Ghidorah]]'s fiery birth scene.{{sfn|Galbraith IV|1996|p=150}}{{sfn|Kalat|1997|p=99}}

As with ''[[Ebirah, Horror of the Deep]]'', Teisho Arikawa was the actual special effects director for the movie, although Eiji Tsuburaya is credited for it. Tsuburaya had more of a supervisor role regarding the special effects.

During the monster's attack on Tokyo, you can see Godzilla steps over a construction crane model. Looking back on it, Haruo Nakajima did so because he worried he might trip over it and fall. He regretted doing that since he should have kicked it out of the way since it was a very non-monster like thing to do.

During the movie's production, Toho arranged for a visit to the Mount Fuji set by a group of around 100 kids who were entering first grade, who got to see all the monsters in action, as well as actors Akira Kubo and Jun Tazaki. Actress Yukiko Kobayashi, as well as the monsters, also paid a visit to a member of the child actors cast of an Imperial Theater of London production of [[Oliver!]] in Tokyo.

At the climatic battle at Mount Fuji, Haruo Nakajima wanted Godzilla to reprise his “jumping shie” from ''[[Invasion of Astro-Monster]]'', but Ishiro Honda removed it from the final film.
