Another one is GORGO!

Monster is caught in the Irish Sea and taken to London to make some money for the finders. They get into trouble because they forgot the rule "Throw the little ones back!"

How about Ray Harryhausen's awesome Ymir? 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957) - IMDb

Shot entirely in Rome and Lazio, Italy, with the exception of a scene filmed at the Hyperion water treatment facility in L.A. Good enough for me.
