Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis became one of the most controversial Godzilla movies. Shortly after the film's release in Japan, CNN in America ran a lengthy story about the film being anti-American and showed scenes of US soldiers being killed, and the plot featuring Westerners from the future was debated. The original Godzilla director, Ishirô Honda also criticized this film's director, Kazuki Ômori, and stated he had gone too far. Omori, however, defended his artistic decision on camera, arguing that the film was not in fact meant to be anti-American stating," "The movie is not especially anti-U.S., I just thought I'd try to picture the identity of the Japanese people." Economic tensions between East and West were high at this time, and the negative publicity was very much a sign of the times.
- GoofsThe time-travel mechanics of this movie are infamously confusing. The plot involves the characters traveling back in time to stop Godzilla from coming into being. Yet when they come back to the present, everyone still remembers Godzilla, even though he's been presumably erased from history.
- Quotes
U.S. Ship Commander: Got him!
Major Spielberg: Take that, you dinosaur.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits (deleted from the American version) play over footage of Godzilla at the bottom of the ocean.
- Alternate versionsThe US version cuts the majority of the ending credits, shortening the runtime from 103 minutes to 100 minutes.
- ConnectionsEdited into Godzilla Tales: G-90REX (2020)
Featured review
a true clash of the titans
This Godzilla film, being the third in the second series, offers a lot of things for the fan . This is the plot: People from the future come to present day Japan to warn the citizens about the threat that is Godzilla and that he will totally destroy Japan and offer their assistance to get rid of it. The futurians deves a plan to go back to the past to the event in which Godzilla was created by moving him from the site where the atomic bomb was used to create him to a neutral location. However, the futurians have an ulterior motive, they create King Ghidorah and use him to destroy Japan, for economical reasons. Unfortunately thier plan to get rid of Godzilla backfires greatly. Not only did they not get rid of Godzilla, but he comes back bigger and more powerful than he was before, and that spells major trouble for both the futurians and Japan.
