While the movie's premise is entirely fictitious and unscientific, director Ishirô Honda thought it was important to present it in a plausible manner. The calculations seen on the blackboard during the scientific conference were actually chalked up by a real professor to lend the film some credibility. Honda also worried that the movie would downplay the effects of the Moon's destruction and that a scenario where a speeding planetoid's gravitational pull destroys the Moon but mostly spares Earth would be too unrealistic. Producer Tomoyuki Tanaka insisted he should not be concerned about such details, arguing that realism wouldn't make for a good movie.
