• This is the twenty-second film about Godzilla, the fourth about Little Godzilla, and the first and only one about Destoroyah.
• With the death of the adult Godzilla, the Heisei era (1984-1995) comes to an end. Initially, the studio wanted to put the monster on hiatus, but due to the scathing criticism of the American version (1998), Toho decided to relaunch the series. The new Millennium / Shinsei era (1999-2004) ignored all previous films except the very first.
• The "Toho" film company advertised this film as the grand finale of the entire franchise, however, Koichi Kawakita, responsible for special effects, was allocated even less funding and time for the production of special effects than was allocated for previous Godzilla films. Only 6 weeks were allotted for the creation of miniature models, 73 days for filming itself, and the post-production period was reduced to 3 weeks. According to Kawakita, this was the shortest shooting period in the history of "Toho" since the film by directors Kazuki Omori, Koji Hashimoto, and Kenjiro Omori "Godzilla vs. Biollante" (1989).
