Wissenswertes
Originally, there wasn't going to be a sequence showing the suit actors demonstrated their Godzilla walk. According to Steve Ryfle, "Personally I was reluctant to ask them to do the Godzilla walk because every time I'd seen it in other documentaries, it was kind of embarrassing. For instance, Satsuma and Nakajima were interviewed for a documentary program on the Independent Film Channel several years ago, and the filmmakers had them stomping through toy buildings. It just plays into the old notion that these films are silly, and I didn't want to do that." On the day of shooting, director Norman England was discussing with the actors when they decided to do their Godzilla walks. Each actor narrated it and described his own personal style of Godzilla movement.

Patzer
When the movie talks about the Castle Bravo nuclear test of March 1st, 1954, the footage used is actually the Castle Romeo test from 25 days later.

Fantastic documentary about the men who's soul and craftsmanship brought monsters to life!

This documentary goes over how the crew of Toho's Godzilla series brought their fantastic monsters to life. Simply put these people never get any credit for all the hard work and talent they have. A celebration of artistry this documentary is well worth for any who appreciates the soul and craftsmanship of these films.
