But Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla was the original Japanese title... Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II was the film's English dub title that was used by TriStar to not get people confused with the original 1974 film, which was still available on VHS at the time. And just because it is the official international title, doesn't mean it makes sense, Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II sounds more like a sequel to original 1974 film than it does a Heisei remake of the original 1974 film, just like how Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth for Godzilla vs. Mothra sounding more like Godzilla and Mothra are teaming up to save Earth than they are actually fighting each other.
