* {{Padding}}: Due to the film originally being a TV movie, the l Japanese theatrical version reluctantly had to pad something that was originally just an hour long. On the plus side, some of the new scenes are the fairly exciting naval battles with Varan, and Ifukube got to refine his score even more.

Added DiffLines:

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Varan himself is this amongst the Kaiju community for his interesting backstory and unique design, with many wishing he return again in another Toho film.


Added DiffLines:

* SoOkayItsAverage: ''Varan'' is often seen as a decent Kaiju movie with some good visual effects and an amazing score, but doesn’t have the same pizazz as some of Toho’s earlier or later work.

** Mystery of the Twentieth Century would later be used in Dogora as the music when the military is creating the synthetic wasp venom. Hell, this theme has been featured in some form in at least ''four'' more films:
***''Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster'' - ''Matsumoto City and King Ghidorah''
***''The War of the Gargantuas'' - ''Wiring Complete''
***''Destroy All Monsters'' - ''Remote Control Destruction''
***''Space Amoeba'' - ''Launching of the Helios''

The deleted entry really didn\'t fit into the YMMV category.


** While not technically music, Varan's roar would later be reused as Baragon's roar in ''Frankenstein vs. Baragon''. If one also pays particular attention, Godzilla's roar in ''The Return of Godzilla'' (1984), ''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' (1989) and ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' (1991) sounds suspiciously similar to Varan's roar as well, although Godzilla's roar in ''King Ghidorah'' also utilized a reworked version of the roar from the 1954 film as well.
