** The international version of this movie has never turned up on home video anywhere. Sony's uncut blu-ray is technically almost identical content-wise but the opening and end credits are digitally created and the title is presented as ''Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II'' rather than just ''Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla'', Toho's international name for the film.

There "Berserk" was from outer space and came down in a meteor, assimilating metal and inorganic matter in a quest to copy and replace the dominant species of the planet. After [=G-Force=] initially thinks it's trying to go after humanity, it instead assumes the form of a proper Mechagodzilla to attack the real thing.
** Titanosaurus was going to appear in the movie, but was replaced by Rodan. Rodan, meanwhile, was going to be blue, before the decision was made to give him a coloring scheme akin to his Showa appearance. An early draft of the final film also had Rodan start out as two ''Pteranodons'', with one surviving the attack by Godzilla to become Rodan after being irradiated by a submarine it destroys. A relic of this is present in the film in the form of the ''Pteranodon'' skeleton.
