Probably nothing at all. Maybe some of the film titles would be a bit awkward, but beyond that...
Im Land Der Raketen-Würmer - The German title for TREMORS translates to IN THE LAND OF THE ROCKETWORMS.

^ Yeah. And right now, three or four members would be having a vicious argument about which romanization was correct, likely degenerating into a series of brutal insults regarding the others' age, sexual orientation and maternal pedigree. :lol:

I think it depends if the domestic distributor wanted to continue calling it Gigantis, they could have.

Toho want's to create new monsters but every time they do they bring in less money then more recognized monsters like Mothra and Mechagodzilla. Or worse their film bombs at the box office.

I think the name "Gigantis" could have been saved to take place of something else with a terrible name: "Viagra"
