      • Trivia
        Planned as a trilogy, box office results lead to the sequels being canceled. The second film would have featured Yamato going up against Bagan and the third would have featured an ancient monster that Godzilla was named after that was only mentioned in the original [link=Gojira (1954). Bagan was a monster Toho had created in early drafts of Gojira (1984) but was scrapped in favor of making that film more like the original Gojira (1954) and a film called Mothra vs. Bagan had been planned but disappointing box office returns for Godzilla kohtaa Biollanten (1989) forced them to cancel the project in favor of Gojira vs. Kingu Gidorâ (1991).

      Surprise Hit
      This movie starts out with a great plot and lots of action, it has good special effects, character development isn't all that good. But you still seem to get a bit of "presence" toward each character. This movie would have been one of the best movies I have ever seen, that is if it didn't fall into a "slump". This "slump" beginning after the return from their quest, the movie takes a unseen turn into space, and starts going downhill from there. But still a great movie.
