* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The film's effects were ''staggering'' for its time, setting a new high water mark for the kaiju genre and some of them, most notably the sequence where Rodan ''completely levels'' Sasebo with sonic booms, are even impressive to this day.

* TearJerker: The deaths of both Rodans. This surprisingly tearjerking scene was actually caused by an accident with the puppets-the two Rodans were supposed to slowly drown in the lava, but one of the wires on the puppets snapped. The director, Eiji Tsuburaya, kept the cameras rolling while the wire operator ad libbed the death scene and the puppeteer tried to pull his puppet out from the conflagaration -resulting in a touching scene of Rodan trying to escape before deciding to [[TogetherInDeath join]] his mate in death.
