Background and Trivia

  • Toho submitted the movie to the US copyright office on December 10th, 1997 under the registration number of V8005P326. The title's used were The Eagle of the Pacific, the international title, and Taiheiyo no Washi, the Romaji title.
  • Even though this was the first major co-production between director Ishiro Honda and special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya, copious amount of footage from World War II and previous Toho war movies was used throughout the picture. This includes from A Triumph of Wings (1942), The War at Sea from Hawaii to Malaya (1942), Toward the Decisive Battle of the Sky (1943), Colonel Kato's Falcon Squadron (1944) and Battle Troop (1944).
