CUTS:
- R0 Australia- Shock/Siren Visua - No cuts. This seems to be the US "Cinema Shares" Theatrical Version, which has a red title card ("Godzilla vs the Cosmic Monster") with white lettering. It's cut in a few places, most notably the in the opening credits. Also, the Cinema Shares version cut the ending out and ends a few seconds after the huge explosion (76:17 mins PAL).
- R0 Germany- Media Target - No cuts. Includes 2 versions: Original and German. In original version ((79:36 min - PAL), the source material seemed to be in a rough shape, so many frames are missing. German version seems to be longer (80:21 min - PAL), but itīs cropped. Go figure.
- R0 Taiwan- Power Multimedia - No known cuts.
- R1 America- Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment - No cuts. International Version with English title and credits (84:44 NTSC).
- R2 France- Aventi Distribution - No cuts.
- R2 Japan- Toho - No cuts.
- R4 Australia- Madman Entertainment - No cuts (80:48 mins PAL).
