Facts about Mothra vs. Godzilla

This is the final Showa Era film in the series where Godzilla is truly evil. In later films he would be portrayed as a protector of Earth and the only times he would cause destruction was when he was controlled by aliens. Of course, since Godzilla 1985: The Legend Is Reborn (which also began the VS Series) he once again is back to being the destructive force he began as.
With this film, the name of Mothra's island changes from "Beiru" to "Infant Island".
It's not generally known among non-Godzilla enthusiasts, but "Mothra" had her own movie in 1961. Mothra was one of the major monster films Toho made during Godzilla's rest from the silver screen from 1955-1962. Other Toho monsters that originally had their own separate movie would take the same path as Mothra. Rodan, Manda, Baragon, and Varan would appear in future Godzilla movies, but Rodan though would be the only monster out of these four that would take on any major roles.
