Then Ultraman King lets Ultraman go to Earth and help the SSSP, from this point the flim becomes stock footage of the original Ultraman episodes.

Other

The movie was also unofficially released in Asian countries (by Speedy Video), with the Malaysian release (unofficially titled "Clash of the Giant Monsters") featuring a newly-dubbed Malay audio track. As Great Monster Decisive Battle didn't have a voice trackless copy, the movie's dub ended up being similar to some of Speedy's Dragon Ball Z movies (such as "The Super Guy In The Galaxy/Bojack Unbound"), where parts of the music (especially the ones with dialogue) were poorly spliced/replaced by other non-Ultra Series music, and some of the sound effects were looped whenever the dubbed track was used.
