* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: ''Godzilla Raids Again'' was the rarest Godzilla film on video in the U.S. for a long time. Its only official tape release was by Video Treasures in 1989, and it was not reissued by Anchor Bay in 1997. Even before that, it hardly aired on television and was regarded as the "lost" Godzilla film by many.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Paul Schreibeman is the reason why the ''Gigantis'' film became what it was, because he said the renaming of Godzilla to Gigantis ''[[{{Irony}} was to avoid confusion]]''. He even said the original title was "Angurus" when the original name is ''Gojira no Gyakushu'' (Godzilla's Counterattack). This blatant attempt to pretend this is not a Godzilla sequel made it laughable to the original films of the franchise.

Godzilla (or rather the ''T.rex''), was to fight the ankylosaurus and [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology move to the North Pole to lay its eggs]]. While Toho decided to help by sending new suits and made a catalog of the production, the American company went bankrupt and the suits, which had been sent to [[Creator/TheHowardAndersonCompany Howard Anderson's company]] for shooting disappeared. So, ''The Volcano Monsters'' was ultimately cancelled. This explains why it took a whole 3 years and why it wasn't released in that form. Eventually, the film ended up being called, to the massive face-palming of Steve Ryfle (and his fellow commentators) and fans everywhere, ''Gigantis The Fire Monster".
