    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      At one point in the film, all the TVs in an electronics store are showing the live footage of Godzilla's destruction of Tokyo except one which is playing the anime "Ochibisan" created by Moyoco Anno, who is director Hideaki Anno's wife. This is also a reference to the fact that one of Tokyo's six broadcast TV stations is notoriously reluctant to air breaking news.
    • Goofs
      The drug that the government uses to kill Godzilla is described as something that will "disable his internal cooling system". After the drug is used at the end, Godzilla freezes. If the drug was supposed to disable his internal cooling system, it would have overheated him, not frozen him. But it's a bit more complex than that... In fact, in the movie the drug actually does manage to disable Godzilla's cooling system, but in stead of overheating him this triggers a SCRAM-shutdown (=Safety Control Rods Activation Mechanism) as a kind of involuntarily overreaction-thus freezing him in the procedure. By freezing himself temporarily, Godzilla is able to survive this potentially critical trauma.
    • Quotes

      Hiromi Ogashira, Deputy Director of Nature Conservation Bureau: Man is more frightening than Gojira.

    • Crazy credits
      The Toho logo appears as the 1950s color version to homage Gojira (1954)'s era.

      Godzilla's stomping and roar is heard, which also happened in Gojira (1954).
