Trivia

In 1986, a contest was held to decide the plot for the next Godzilla movie. The winner was Shinichirô Kobayashi, a dentist and part-time screenwriter. After the script was heavily altered, the movie came to the screen in 1989. However, the second place script would later become the other Toho science fiction film, Ganheddo. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After the gunfight in Shiragami's lab when the body of one of Biomajor's agents is being removed a man states " the bodies belonged to two of Biomajor's agents" making it appear that two men were killed instead of one. In fact, the second agent is later seen making the negotiations to hand over the Anti Nuclear Energy Bacteria. See more »

Quotes

Dr. Shiragami: Godzilla and Biollante aren't monsters. It's the unscrupulous scientists who create them that are monsters.
