Iterations

  • Original International
    • Notes:
      • The international version was dubbed in Hong Kong. All English versions of the movie utilize the same dub.
      • The text of the opening and ending credits are in red.
      • This version was released on DVD by Power Multimedia.
  • Alternate International
    • Notes:
      • An alternate internation version exists where the opening and ending credits have white text, with the same font and size.
      • This version was released on a British PAL VHS tape.
  • Revised International
    • Notes:
      • Toho produced a "revised" international version which, as with copies of Cinema Shares' versions, has the extended ending shot, showing the actors waiting for their cue to follow Jet Jaguar.
      • Features smaller ending title with copyright info under it (a la the revised Godzilla vs. Gigan international version).
      • This version was never released on home video and not known to have been screened, but aired on the Sci-Fi Channel from 2002 to 2007.
  • Second Revised International
    • Notes:
      • An alternate, possibly newer "revised" print exists. This version opens with Toho's current international logo, features "Toho Eizo" card in red, has white opening credits and ends with the same ending title as the other revised print, but without the extended beginning to the montage preceding it.
