Curiosidades
An often-repeated myth is that the productions of both this film and Los siete samuráis (1954) nearly drove Toho into bankruptcy. This neglects to mention a third Toho film made that year, Samurai (1954). All three of them were the most expensive Japanese films made up to that point and big financial risks for Toho. However, there is little evidence to suggest that Toho was ever at risk for bankruptcy. Toho released a total of 68 feature films that year, the most successful of which were "Seven Samurai", "Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto", and "Godzilla", in that order.

Pifias
Several characters in the film, including Dr. Yamane, Japan's leading paleontologist, insist that the Jurassic Period was 2 million years ago. This is off by 143.5 million years.

Citas
[last lines]
Dr. Kyohei Yamane: I can't believe that Godzilla was the last of his species. If nuclear testing continues, then someday, somewhere in the world, another Godzilla may appear.

Versiones alternativas
In the scene where Godzilla destroys the train, shots of terrified people watching were cut from the U.S. version of the film.

well made monster movie

A freighter is sunk by an unknown force. A second ship is sent but is also sunk. Three survivors are pulled from the sea but the fishing boat also sinks. An elderly villager claims that it is the work of the legendary sea monster Godzilla. On Odo island, a giant storm swamps the village and giant footprints are found to be radioactive. Dr. Yamane postulates that Godzilla had been driven out of his underground cavern by repeated H-bomb testing. Godzilla advances on Tokyo despite the Japanese armed forces and an electric fence.

The special effects are very effective especially considering the time. There is no hiding the miniatures but they are generally done well. The production is relatively big for a monster movie. And Godzilla's roar is second to none. It's great to see the model planes fire little rockets like fireworks at Godzilla. It even has a compelling message. It's a fine B-movie that deserves its iconic status.
