    Trivia: There are 4 entries in the trivia list - like these:

    • When officials at American International viewed the completed film, they decided that some of the Danish-produced special effects were so poor that they needed to be replaced. Two members of the independent special effects company Project Unlimited, Jim Danforth and Wah Chang, shot new footage to replace some of the Danish special effects. Some of the deleted footage was also replaced with tinted black and white monster footage from _Earth vs the Spider (1958)_.
    • Among the replacement footage used in the American International version was a brief special effects shot from The Angry Red Planet (1960).
    • The major contribution made to the American International version by Jim Danforth and Wah Chang was the giant cyclopean rodent monster. The monsters roar was actually Rodans roar taken from Sora no daikaijû Radon (1956) (US title: "Rodan").
