Trivia

  • In addition to a prop of the monster's entire body, special effects director Teruyoshi Nakano also constructed a large animatronic of the Dragon's neck, similar to the Cybot Godzilla he employed for The Return of Godzilla.
  • A popular rumor is that the Dragon prop was originally constructed for the unmade Toho and Hammer collaboration film Nessie and reused by Teruyoshi Nakano for Princess from the Moon, however given that Nessie was cancelled nearly a decade before Princess from the Moon was produced, and that no mention of this is made in any official books regarding the film, this is unlikely to be true.
