- The word "" in the film comes from Japanese, meaning "giant beast", and it mostly appears in Japanese science fiction films, such as "Godzilla", and "Mecha Hunter"Comes from German, meaning "hunter".
- This is Gilmour Del Toro's first film in which Ron Pullman plays a human role since "The Devil's Silver Claw".
- Gilmour del Toro was inspired to create mechas from the paintings of Goya and Hokusai.
- When shooting this movie, Gilmour del Toro was influenced by many Japanese animes. But he tried his best not to show these influences in the design of movies and robots.
- The screenwriter of the film, the idea of this "robot armor" came up from a walk on the beach in California. There was a lot of fog that day, and he found that the shape of the pier looked like some kind of man-made object in the fog. Later, he imagined that this thing was a man-made robot lurking in the sea, ready to fight. So there is this story.
- A life-size mech was produced by the crew and placed in Toronto. This mech weighs 20 tons and can do some acrobatics. The post-production team, based on the action and physical performance of this mecha, produced combat special effects for other mechas.
- Copies of the film were sent to various movie theaters under the disguise of the pseudonym "The Calm Sea".
- Tom Cruise was expected to play a role in this movie, but he failed to make it.
- Because of the Great Japan Earthquake, Legendary Pictures, the funder of "Pacific Rim", once asked Del Toro to rewrite the script so that the monsters in the sea would find another place to stray in the wild, instead of harassing the already devastated Japan.
- When the film was released in China, because of several "thunderous" translations, it caused controversy over whether it should be "down-to-earth" or loyal to the original film.

I just want this movie to blow up! ! ! EVA, Gundam, Five-Star Story, Appleseed, and the Japanese mechanical nerds are boiling! ! ! The film critic commented on how you guys are worthy of the special effects of the white flowers, the plot connotation who fucking care! Just the personality and the concept can be overwhelming! ! ! Nima, there must be a sequel! Take pictures without donating money! Be sure to watch the tubes with the male! The gay and handsome guys in the audience are just me. It’s so sad!
