*As a minor detail, the Cathay Pacific 747 that nearly crashes into Godzilla during ''Godzilla vs Destoroyah'' is wearing the airline's old livery, bearing the [[United Kingdom|British]] flag on its tail, as Hong Kong had yet to secede from the British Empire at the time of ''Godzilla vs. Destoroyah'''s production.
