Did You Know?
| Trivia | Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995) was intended to be the last Godzilla movie until the 50th anniversary of Godzilla (1954) in 2004, allowing TriStar to make a trilogy of American Godzilla movies in that time, but the poor response to Godzilla (1998) caused TriStar to abandon plans for a second and third film and Toho to bring back the original Godzilla sooner than planned with Godzilla 2000. Producer Shogo Tomiyama admitted that Godzilla 2000: Millennium was "made abruptly" since there were no plans to create another Godzilla film until 2005. But because of the failure of the TriStar film, Tomiyama said that studio felt that they "couldn't keep silent until 2005". See more » |
| Goofs | When we see Shinoda inspecting Godzilla's footprints on the beach, Godzilla's heavy tail dragging behind him seems to have not left a trail among the footprints. Even the very first Godzilla movie included a tail trail in between Godzilla's footprints in a similar scene. See more » |

[closing scene; Japanese Version]
Shiro Miyasaka: The recklessness of science gave birth to you, Godzilla. Why do you appear before us? [Godzilla continues to trample through Shinjuku] Yuki Ichinose: Because we humans gave birth to this monster. Yuji Shinoda: Godzilla is... inside all of us! See more » |
