English Version
After the film was released in Japan, Toho commissioned a Hong Kong company to dub the film into English. In this international version of the movie, an English title card was superimposed over the Japanese title, as had been done with the previous film.
Manga Video released the international version of Godzilla vs. Mothra on video in the United Kingdom on July 3, 1995. An Italian-dubbed version (titled Godzilla contro Mothra) of the international version was released by Yamato Video in Italy.
Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment released Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and Godzilla vs. Mothra on home video on April 28, 1998. This was the first time either film had been officially released in the United States. TriStar used the Toho dubbed versions, but cut the end credits and created new titles and opening credits for both films. To avoid confusion with video releases of Mothra vs. Godzilla, then titled Godzilla vs. Mothra, TriStar renamed the 1992 movie Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth.
