* TrashTheSet: In addition to pouring ample amounts of chemical mixtures into miniatures and full-size sets, the 1965 Godzilla suit, first used in ''Film/InvasionOfAstroMonster'' and used as a water scene suit since ''Film/SonOfGodzilla'', was completely covered in sludge for the scene where Hedorah attempts to drown Godzilla. The suit was pulled out and cleaned up, but it had suffered so much damage through the years that it was finally given a well-deserved retirement.

* EyeScream: Dr. Yano, Godzilla and Hedorah all suffer in this way. For the former two (who both lost an eye), it's the result of Hedorah's acid, but Hedorah suffers an injury to one of his eyes after Godzilla punches straight through it, and has to keep it closed to avoid losing it. Godzilla [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't really think this situation through however,]] as Hedorah closed his wounded eye over Godzilla's hand before he had a chance of pulling it out, ensuring that his acidic blood would burn all the flesh off the appendage.
