Originally, Junior's advancement on land was a more drawn out sequence before confronting Destoroyah, who in this scene runs straight into the smaller Godzilla as its first attack.

A supplement to the film's long climax, at one point Destoroyah was to have fired a beam from his chest several times. The sequence was filmed and edited, but never went through its final stages of post production. Similar to Gigan's beam in Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972), in the footage's present state Destoroyah's chest lights up but an actual visible ray was never finished for the sequence.
