Trivia:

Contains brief scenes that pay homage to the original Gojira (1954) - such as Dr Yamane's stegosaurus model - and during the simulated Tôkyô meltdown sequence (where they show what will happen if Godzilla explodes) Godzilla walks by the Wako Building and the Diet Building - two building he destroys in the original film.

Quotes:

Dr. Kensaku Ijuin: Godzilla's gone. He's turn Tokyo into a ghost town.
Yukari Yamane: And, it looks like we paid for it at the end.
Dr. Kensaku Ijuin: Paid for what?
Yukari Yamane: All of it. All of man's stupid use of nuclear energy.

The most moving and thrilling of all Godzilla films.

The most moving and thrilling of all Godzilla films, with a solid plot, smooth acting, moving music, and emotional drama. I enjoyed this movie. There is one thrilling scene in which I liked, the part when Yukari gets trapped in the police car with Destoroyah pursuing her. The part when Miki breaks down and cry when Godzilla Junior laid lifeless on the ground almost reduced me to tears. I really despise Destoroyah, after all the damaged he'd done. Godzilla should of melted that ugly arachnid. A must see for all
