Trivia
- For the scenes depicting the destruction of Paris, Moscow, New York, London, and Tokyo, Eiji Tsuburaya suggested created miniatures out if paraffin, before it was suggested to use wafers. In a 1996 interview, miniature builder Yoshio Irie recalled "Since the destruction of the world's cities was going to be such a crucial element of The Great World War, we tried to find a substance that would produce especially convincing results when blown up. We experimented with many different materials, but found that wafers worked best. Unfortunately, we also found that mice liked to eat the wafers."[3]
- In order to combat the issue of mice eating the wafers, several of the miniatures were hung and filmed upside down, which ultimately made them look in the finished film like they were being blasted high into the air.[3]
