      • An English international dub was made in Hong Kong.
  • New World Home Video
    • Notes:
      • New World Home Video released Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla to VHS and LaserDisc, and was identical to the original international version, aside from copyright information swapped out with the end title.
  • Sci-Fi Channel
    • Runtime: 84 minutes
    • Notes:
      • Initially airing on the Sci-Fi Channel with a Toho-authorized "Godzilla vs. The Cosmic Monster" title card in the same font as the original international version, the title was changed back to the official international title for later airings.
      • This version was completely uncut, and featured previously missing lines.
  • Sony
    • Runtime: 84 minutes
    • Notes:
      • When Sony released Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla on DVD in 2004, they made a new video master for Toho. This version was mostly uncut, but was oddly missing a few lines. Copyright information was added to the opening and ending titles, and the original Toho logo was replaced with a CGI logo.
