Trivia
- This was the first Godzilla film made in the 1970s, and the eleventh entry in the series.
- This was the first film in several years to neither reuse an old monster (not counting Godzilla) or recycle footage from a previous movie in the series. This is noteworthy since the previous five films (made between 1965-1969) had increasingly done both.
- Hedorah's origin is also unique, as it was not created from radiation (as with Godzilla), or to have developed in outer space (like Ghidora), or to have a 'mystical' link to the planet (like Mothra), or the creation of an organization or culture (like Ebirah).
- Hedorah was the first totally new monster to be introduced since Gabara in 1969 (from All Monsters Attack).
- Godzilla vs Hedorah broke with the largely child-friendly direction of the series towards the end of the 1960s. Both Son of Godzilla (1967) and All Monsters Attack (1969) were marketed specifically towards children. James Rolfe (of AVGN fame) comments on this is his review, citing that while parts of the film seems to be geared towards children, the film also contains instances of disturbing scenes and graphic content (including on-screen deaths).

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
