Trivia

This 28th Godzilla film marked the final use of Toho's Big Pool water tank, which was used for the water scenes for all Tôhô special effects-related films since Hawai Middowei daikaikûsen: Taiheiyô no arashi, for which it was constructed. The Big Pool was 88 meters wide and 72 meters long. It was given one final performance when it was last used for this film on September 7th and was demolished on October 13th. Toho's decision to destroy the pool was due to "progress of special-effects technology such as CG, and a large-scale reconstruction plan of the studio." This was considered by many to be the end of an era. See more »

Crazy Credits

After Godzilla and his son wade off into the sea with a final roar, the
title monster's name appears on screen one last time. The ending credits
themselves play over various scenes from the movie, including some that
were deleted or removed from the finished cut. These include Mothra flying
back to her home island, Hedorah the smog monster with some brief city
destruction, more lead up to Ozaki making his way too Douglas Gordan, a
fight between Kazama and Kumasaka in the news room, a new shot of King
Caesar running, and several different shots of Godzilla. The credits fade
to black with the sound of the original Godzilla roar signaling the end. See more »
