When Mothra went into outer space to stop a meteor from reaching Earth, she accidentally took with cells from Godzilla and remaining cells from Biollante that inhabited our atmosphere.

Trivia

Godzilla's 40th anniversary movie. Unlike most other "milestone" films, this one is often overlooked as it was not a financial, a critical nor a creative success. This might partly be blamed on its rushed production: the American Godzilla (1998) adaptation was meant to come out in 1994, but its production got delayed, so Toho Studios had to produce further Godzilla movies in order to keep the brand going.

Goofs

The end of Godzilla's tail breaks off when he dives under the sea at one point in the film and is briefly visible.

Quotes

Lt. Koji Shinjo: [after Miki levitates a stretcher] What was that?
Miki Saegusa: Telekinesis.
Lt. Koji Shinjo: Tele what?
Miki Saegusa: I just never tried it before.

Alternate Versions

In the fight on Birth Island, SpaceGodzilla traps LittleGodzilla in a crystal prism. A shot of Godzilla trying unsucessfully to free his son from the crystal cage, which would have better explained why Godzilla heads for Japan to confront SpaceGodzilla, was omitted.

Great film!

I am a huge Godzilla fan, I grew up with Godzilla, I just love seeing this awesome monster just destroy cities and fighting other monsters. I like his enemies as well but Godzilla is the Icon!

This Godzilla film is a great one. The story is very good and I really love the way Godzilla looks in this film. I love it when he roars and moves his tail. As for his enemy SpaceGodzilla, he too is awesome. He has some great powers and I like it when he roars. This space monsters is a colorful one. He is just full of colors. The fights between the two monsters is really good. The acting by the film's human stars are also good. The music is great! I really love this Godzilla film for many reasons and its arguably the best! If you love Godzilla I strongly recommend that you do what I did and buy Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla today!
