Five Godzilla Movies You Need to Watch
Five Godzilla Movies You Need to Watch

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWas voted the best Godzilla movie by fans in a 2014 Japanese fan poll. Ironically, its original release was not a success. The film had a reported $10.7 million budget making it not only the most expensive Godzilla film up until that point, but also one of the most expensive live-action Japanese films made at the time. Middling box offices results lead the studio to rethink their handling of the property and, in order to please fans, began re-incorporating classic (and therefore more marketable) monsters and stories into the following films instead of creating new ones. Toho would also begin to reduce the time and budget spent on subsequent Heisei films.
- GoofsAfter Shiragami is briefly interviewed by the media, Biollante is shown for a brief second appearing regular, but in the very next shot with Biollante, it's fully blossomed.
- Quotes
Dr. Shiragami: Godzilla and Biollante aren't monsters. It's the unscrupulous scientists who create them that are monsters.
- Alternate versionsDeleted scenes:
- When Godzilla comes ashore at Abarishi, a scene of him walking past a lighthouse and smashing it with his tail was cut.
- After Godzilla's first confrontation with Biollante in Lake Ashino, which is set ablaze by Godzilla's radioactive breath, spores from the plant creature shower the surrounding countryside causing flowers to suddenly bloom.
- Originally Godzilla was to attack the Kansai Airport in Osaka, which was under construction at the time of filming, but permission could not be obtained. Instead, Godzilla and Miki engage in a telepathic battle near a heliport for the site in the Ise Channel.
- A discarded concept was to have Biollante attempt to physically absorb Godzilla during the climactic battle. This was scrapped due to time and budgetary considerations but was the concept was visualized for the climax of 'Godzilla 2000'.
- ConnectionsEdited from The Return of Godzilla (1984)
Featured review
A great Godzilla flick
I was lucky enough to find a VHS copy and I have to say that this is my favorite Godzilla film. The reason I liked it is because it was so different than any other Godzilla movies. Godzilla vs. Boillante is violent, very dark, looks really good, and actually has a solid plot. I almost didn't want to watch it cuz the darkness of this flick made me feel so uncomfortable by about 45 mins in. Both monsters are great, and Biollante's horrendousness gives this movie power that no other G movie can stand up against. The monster makes this movie so ugly and creates such a dark atmosphere that it is kind of beautiful. I'm not big fan of Japanese movies (I hate anime), but this is a true accomplishment.
