Trivia

In the underground MUTO nest, after Lt. Brody opens the fuel valves on the tanker truck, the fuel pools over a sculpted head of a dragon. The head resembles that of King Ghidorah, one of Godzilla's arch rivals.

First Godzilla movie to feature Oscar nominated actors (Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins, David Strathairn and Ken Watanabe) since Nick Adams who starred in Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965). Adams was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Twilight of Honor (1963). And with Juliette Binoche, it is the first Godzilla film to feature an Academy Award winner.

The movie shares many similarities with the unmade 1994 American reboot. The script for the 1994 film was written by Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott. Both versions feature an opening segment set in the past during which one of the main character's parents is killed. They both jump ahead to present time to show the opposite parent obsessed with solving the prior mysterious events. In the 1994 script, Godzilla travels to San Francisco, destroying the Golden Gate bridge. Both feature ancient enemies that are reawakened. Both feature Godzilla battling a flying monster, which he hunts to kill. Both films end with Godzilla blowing atomic breath into the enemy monster and decapitating it. Both end with a shot of Godzilla returning to the sea.

(at around 1h 16 mins) A tank slams into a riverbank and then floats downstream. Modern tanks do not float.

When the tsunami comes to Hawaii, all people run in panic and leave a dog tied to a tree on an empty beach. But in the scene where the dog barks at incoming Tsunami, the people in the background are not running in panic.

Share this

When Godzilla first exits the water in Hawaii, his sheer size causes a massive tsunami. Every other time he enters or leaves the water, it hardly moves. It's especially noticeable when Godzilla returns to the water after the final battle scene; he only creates small waves when he enters the water and submerges.

Quotes

Joe Brody: I'm not crazy.

Share this

Boyd: Dr. Serizawa? Jerry Boyd. Just to warn you, it's a mess. A total mess.

Share this

Joe Brody: I have to go. I came back here and I wasted 6 years staring through that barbed wire thinking it was a military mistake or some horrible design flaw that they were covering up. One day, I met a guy who runs a cargo boat off shore. Every day, he goes right past the reactor site. So he places a couple frequency monitors on bouys for me. Two weeks ago, because I check this thing like every other day just for the kick in the teeth, two weeks ago I'm tuning in and oh, my God. There it is. Whatever *it* is, that's in there, whatever it is they're guarding so carefully, it started talking again. And I mean "talking."

What's going on with the opening titles/credits?
