Trivia
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995) was intended to be the last Godzilla movie until the 50th anniversary of Godzilla (1954) in 2004, allowing TriStar to make a trilogy of American Godzilla movies in that time, but the poor response to Godzilla (1998) caused TriStar to abandon plans for a second and third film and Toho to bring back the original Godzilla sooner than planned with Godzilla 2000. Producer Shogo Tomiyama admitted that Godzilla 2000: Millennium was "made abruptly" since there were no plans to create another Godzilla film until 2005. But because of the failure of the TriStar film, Tomiyama said that studio felt that they "couldn't keep silent until 2005".

Goofs
When we see Shinoda inspecting Godzilla's footprints on the beach, Godzilla's heavy tail dragging behind him seems to have not left a trail among the footprints. Even the very first Godzilla movie included a tail trail in between Godzilla's footprints in a similar scene.

Quotes
[closing scene; Japanese Version]
Shiro Miyasaka: The recklessness of science gave birth to you, Godzilla. Why do you appear before us?
[Godzilla continues to trample through Shinjuku]
Yuki Ichinose: Because we humans gave birth to this monster.
Yuji Shinoda: Godzilla is... inside all of us!

Crazy credits
Over the closing shot of Godzilla blowing up Shinjuku, a green "THE END" is superimposed, with a red question mark that appears over between the two words. (Theatrical US version only)

Alternate versions
The US version takes out about 9 minutes of the film and changes a lot of the dialogue.

Old School Godzilla

This is old school Godzilla plain and simple. Nothing terribly exciting, no super cool computer effects. Just a guy in a rubber suit and godzilla breathe drawn on the film. Actually there is a little computer stuff, but nothing that hasn't been done for years.

This is not a great movie, by any stretch of the imagination, but nostalgia makes it enjoyable. I think this is also a better movie for kids than most of the action monster movies coming out. Almost no one dies in the movie and there is little swearing or sexual overtones. This might make it too simple for adults who are not nostalgic for the old movies, but others should enjoy it.
