| 1 | * ChristmasRushed: And how. The film was released in December of 1969, after production had begun in August of the same year (the film was rushed into production after the box office failure of ''Film/LatitudeZero'' made Toho panic and bring back their golden goose; they had planned to let the series rest after ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters''). This explains the heavy use of StockFootage and why so many ideas had to be cut. |
| 2 | * CreatorBacklash: Hideyo Amamoto was not fond of his role in the film. |
| 3 | * MagnumOpusDissonance: Despite the film's negative reception and reputation as one of the worst in the series, Ishiro Honda considered ''All Monsters Attack'' one of his favorite directorial efforts since he liked the grounded story of Ichiro and the real life issues he faced. |
| 4 | * NoExportForYou: Was never offered by Toho for export or was shown anywhere outside Japan and the Americas (where it somehow made it to Argentine theaters). Germany did get a dub in 2013, however. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in 2019, where this title was included in Creator/TheCriterionCollection's bundle of Showa-era ''Godzilla'' titles. |
| 5 | * PlayingAgainstType: Hideyo Amamoto (who at this point in time usually played as villains and the slimiest of criminals) in here plays the kind, fatherly and comical toy maker, Shinpei Inami. |
| 6 | * SimilarlyNamedWorks: The movie shares its titles with the first episode of Series/ReturnOfUltraman. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: The film's director, Ishiro Honda initially wanted all of the monster footage to be brand-new for the film, and he also wanted to include a sequence with Godzilla fighting Rodan and Oodako (the Giant Octopus) and Rodan stalking Ichiro attempting to eat him. However due to scheduling and budget issues, the crew was forced to use stock footage for all monster scenes that weren't Godzilla, Minya, and Gabara. As for the Rodan and Oodako fights, their roles were "recycled" for the Kamacuras and Ebirah fights respectively |
