* The Japanese version of \'\'Frankenstein Conquers The World\'\' climaxes in a fight between FrankensteinsMonster (in city-stomping kaiju form) and a giant octopus with no plot relevance. The scene was cut from the English dub.

** That was actually a scene filmed for the American release of the movie, but everyone felt it was silly and pointless.
* Apocalymon, the final villain of [[DigimonAdventure the original]] \'\'{{Digimon}}\'\' series, literally shows up out of nowhere in an outer space-like battlefield, and is fought and defeated within the course of two episodes.
** [[OrSoIHeard Apparently]] this was actually a case of ExecutiveMeddling, and there was supposed to be far more leadup to Apocalymon, as well as his relation to the DarkMasters.
