Godzilla (1998)	comment	You may be looking for the original 1954 film, Godzilla (1954), the 1984 film, The Return of Godzilla, or the second American remake, Godzilla (2014)Godzilla is a 1998 American remake film of the Japanese film of the same name and the first feature-length Godzilla film to be made by an American team. It was co-written and directed by Roland Emmerich, director of Independence Day and Stargate, and starred Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno, Maria Pitillo, Hank Azaria and Kevin Dunn. The film was released on May 20, 1998, by TriStar Pictures.The film follows the attacks of the titular creature on Manhattan, following his apparent creation via radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing decades before. The film follows the attacks, beginning with the off-shore attack of a Japanese fishing vessel and culminating in a confrontation of Godzilla and the American military in the Big Apple. As all this is happening, an American scientist, his Intrepid Reporter love interest and their friends team up with French secret agents to examine the creature's behavior more closely and find a way to keep it from bringing even greater disaster upon mankind.The film spawned an animated sequel called Godzilla: The Series. While it was intended to spawn a new franchise in the United States, the movie was not deemed successful enough to warrant another sequel. Ironically, it instead renewed Toho's interest in the franchise, which had actually ended with Godzilla vs. Destoroyah in anticipation of the American franchise, launching the Millennium series started by Godzilla 2000. The events of another Millennium movie, Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!, actually reference this one, which would make this film a Stealth Sequel to the 1954 original in that regard, since G.M.K. is also a direct sequel to that movie. The film's version of Godzilla was later renamed "Zilla" by Toho, and pitted against the Japanese Godzilla in Godzilla: Final Wars. Godzilla destroyed his American counterpart in thirteen seconds without breaking a sweat.Though it never got a film sequel, it is canonically, with some Broad Strokes, followed by the animated cartoon, Godzilla: The Series.

Godzilla (1998) / int_14789f16	comment	Giant Foot of Stomping: Used in the early teaser trailer, where Godzilla steps on a museum's T. Rex skeleton in the middle of a kids' tour. Meant as a (typically nineties) wholly unnecessary potshot at Jurassic Park, but really just comes off as kinda Python-esque. Happens in the film when a cab is crushed. Subverted with Animal, who is almost crushed but survives because he's standing between where two of Godzilla's toes come down.

In fact, French Polynesia has no reptile species, native or otherwise, making Godzilla's origin something of a mystery.

Instead of being a nearly indestructible prehistoric beast that managed to survive millions of years beneath the ocean, he's a modern day iguana that was mutated into a coincidentally prehistoric-looking form within his egg by nuclear fallout and is not Immune to Bullets. The atomic breath is also heavily downplayed, with his powerful roar instead blowing up cars and propelling the flames to cause an effect that merely looks like a Breath Weapon.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work this time because Godzilla learned from his mistake.

Godzilla (1998) / int_3e5f74c	comment	Take That, Critics!: In retaliation for giving Stargate and Independence Day negative reviews, director Roland Emmerich had No Celebrities Were Harmed versions of Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel as the Mayor of New York and his aide (respectively). The bizarre thing is, nothing remotely bad happens to either of them (aside from having their city destroyed) and their only real character fault was incompetence (given this is their first monster attack, it's understandable). This particular Take That! backfired on Emmerich, as Gene Siskel said if the filmmakers wanted to get the insulting jab right, they would have had Godzilla eat the Mayor and the aide or squash them (though to be fair, Toho specified that Godzilla wasn't allowed to eat people). Another critic actually is squished in the film: the extra in the car that is stepped on early in the film is intended to be a representation of J.D. Lees, editor of G-Fan Magazine, who had harsh criticism for the film based on information leaks prior to its release. Since hardly anyone in the audience was even going to recognize the reference, it's pretty clear that this statement was just for the benefit of Emmerich himself. The news

"spectacular"... examples of Monumental Damage are the result of the United States Army unloading everything they have on the damn monster without caring about collateral damage. Because of them, the Flatiron Building, Chrysler Building and other miscellaneous buildings are accidentally blown up and the Garden and part of Manhattan Bridge are deliberately blown up.

Godzilla (1998) / int_6eb4e408	type	Artistic License â€“ Military
Godzilla (1998) / int_6eb4e408	comment	Artistic License â€“ Military: Leaving aside the fact that Sidewinders aren't possible to mount on an Apache, the warheads on Sidewinders are tiny compared to, say, tank shells. They contain only a couple of pounds of explosive, and wouldn't cause Monumental Damage to any building they hit; they would in no way would cause the top of the Chrysler Building to be chopped off, and probably wouldn't hurt Godzilla either. Anti-tank missiles like the Hellfire would be more practical; Sidewinders are designed for small, fast-moving aircraft. Military pilots cannot fire missiles over the United States or any of its territories without the express and direct permission of the President. It's reasonable to assume the president would give it in this scenario, but never explicitly stated. Colonel Hicks would not be in command of an operation of this magnitude, especially being an Army colonel with multiple military branches involved (the aforementioned Army with the Marines alongside the Navy and National Guard); operational command would be in the hands of one or several generals. More egregiously is that multiple generals are seen in the military command center in New Jersey, yet none of them take control of the operation. Apache helicopters don't have a pair of guns bracketing the cockpit; they have a single 30mm chaingun in a chin mount beneath the front of the fuselage. Ironically, attempts WERE made to increase the Apache's air to air capabilities by making it able to launch the Sidewinder, complete with test firings. These were ceased in favor of a modified Stinger missile design (also a heat-seeking design; every Stinger variant after the FIM-92A, including all ATAS variants, uses the same seeker used in the AIM-9X Sidewinder). The Apaches depicted also carry far more weapons than realistically possible; real Apaches have two wing-mounted hardpoints that traditionally carry 70mm Hydra rocket pods on the inner pylons and AGM-114 Hellfire missiles in racks of eight on the outer pylons, with a 30mm M230 chaingun under the nose. The movie Apaches feature longer wings, fitting two sets of Hydra rocket pods on each wing, a Hellfire missile rack with wing-tip mounted Sidewinder missiles and forward facing chainguns under the cockpit windows, with the aforementioned undernose chaingun still there but unused. The film Apaches are also depicted as maneuvering more like jet aircraft, with sharp banking maneuvers while flying straight and flying forwards at high speeds, with multiple helicopters flying around each other with precision. During Godzilla's first helicopter chase, he is shown running at a speed in excess of 80 knots and is able to outpace the pursuing Apaches. 80 knots is about 92 mph, which should be nothing for the Apache; it's forward cruise speed limit is 182 mph or 158 knots. Possibly justified as the helicopters were flying in close urban quarters between skyscrapers and wanted to limit their speed. The F/A-18 pilot that destroys Madison Square Garden is shown disengaging master arm and selecting "LGBs" which stand for laser-guided bombs. However he is shown selecting his plane's AGM-84 Harpoon missiles and stating that he has a good laser track on the target. The Harpoon is a radar-guided, anti-ship missile, not laser-guided. The Harpoon missiles that the F/A-18s use are also woefully impractical for destroying a large building, and would not be effective against a large stationary target such as Madison Square Garden, as the Harpoon is designed for anti-ship use. At most it would punch holes in the roof of the building, not outright level it. Harpoons are also not practical for engaging land targets; their seeker heads are designed for use over water, which has minimal obstacles and radar interference. Ground terrain creates a chaotic radar picture, which can confuse a Harpoon's seeker head and lead to tracking issues. A variant of the Harpoon was developed for ground targets, but it didn't enter service until 2000. The F/A-18 squadron leader says to his wingmen before launching his missiles "save your Mavericks", referring to the AGM-65 Maverick air to ground missile. However, when shots of the planes are shown, none of the F/A-18s are shown carrying any such missiles. The lead F/A-18 is the only one that deploys Harpoons to destroy Madison Square Garden, yet without returning to base to resupply, is able to fire two more salvos of Harpoons from his underwing pylons at Godzilla on the Brooklyn Bridge. Navy officers on the submarines that engage Godzilla are shown wearing "SSBN" hats. SSBN is the US Navy designation for a missile submarine, which would be far too big and impractical for operations in the Hudson. A fast attack submarine (SSN) would be more appropriate given the situation. Sergeant O'Neal being in charge of all the field operations against Godzilla and only directly answering to Colonel Hicks, ignoring a very large chain of command and putting a ridiculous amount of responsibility on a mere sergeant commanding thousands of troops, tanks and vehicles, not to mention the fact that multiple branches of the military are involved (Army, Navy, Marines and National Guard as well) which would have their own command structures and field officers. The debacle with the subs is highly implausible for several reasons beyond the previously-stated fact that the Hudson is too shallow for the scene to happen. The subs would be using ADCAP torpedoes, which are wire-guided; in the event that the weapon turns toward or acquires a friendly target, a button push aboard the launching boat will destroy the torpedo. Additionally, in such a bizarre scenario, it would be expected that the subs would have maintained a picket line rather than maneuvering to put the target between them, as this would radically increase the odds of accidental fratricide (generally, firing in the direction of friendly forces is avoided whenever possible). Finally, committing three subs to the task would have been a needless risk to begin with; given the narrow confines of the river, additional boats only serve to complicate maneuvering. The benefits of the increased firepower would be more than offset by the maneuvering dangers created. It should be noted however, that despite the above issues, the film-makers did assign the right naming conventions to the correct hull types. The Anchorage is a Los Angeles-class fast attack submarines, while the Utah and Indiana are both Ohio-class ballistic missile subs. An interesting example of Shown Their Work.

Even the advertising for the film did all it could to avoid showing too much of Godzilla's design, including billboards which would state Godzilla's measurements and show nothing (which would end up backfiring when Godzilla's redesign took a huge amount of unending criticism, proving it's possible to do this trope wrong).

Elsie does convince Colonel Hicks to sweep the city just in case, but by then it's too late: the eggs are real and they're already hatching. If it weren't for Nick and the DGSE already having discovered the nest, this would have turned into an apocalyptically stupid blunder.

Godzilla (1998) / int_c95d04f2	comment	It Can Think: When Godzilla is tailed by three helicopters, he successfully managed to fool them into thinking he is hiding in a skyscraper, cue him bursting from the building behind them and initiating Curb-Stomp Battle. The final helicopter is destroyed when Godzilla crouches low to avoid being seen by it before devouring said helicopter whole. During the battle in the Hudson River, while being attacked by three U.S. Navy submarines, Godzilla swims straight at one of the subs, using the dorsal spines on his back to rip open the sub's hull, leaving it dead in the water and helpless as the torpedoes the Navy fired at him smash into the crippled sub, destroying it. The military manages to lure Godzilla out of hiding in their first attempt to kill him using a huge pile of fish as bait, but they end up bungling it and he's able to escape. They try the same thing again, but in an area where Godzilla will be more exposed, but Godzilla realizes the trick this time and doesn't walk into range. When the protagonists are fleeing from Godzilla, he moves ahead of them and takes out the bridge.

Godzilla (1998) / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: The film gives Godzilla what is probably the most drastic design overhaul of any instalment in the franchise, giving him a much slimmer and more horizontal body, dinosaur-like legs and feet, less jagged and more curved dorsal plates, longer arms, rounded instead of rugose scaly skin, and a very prominent chin. It's so different that many fans dubbed it In Name Only.

Godzilla (1998) / int_e5fd8bc2	comment	Hate Sink: The titular monster is, as with other examples, a creature that lives by its nature with no concept of good or evil, so there's both the conniving and misogynistic news anchor Charles Caiman, who among other things steals Audrey's story, and the video she took from Nick, and the meddlesome Mayor Ebert, who keeps jerkishly complaining about everything the military does ,although he is kind of right to be angry when said military wrecks half of downtown Manhattan on their first confrontation with Godzilla, including blowing both the Chrysler and Flaitiron buildings sky-high, and is focused on his re-election to the point he thinks on his last scene about using Godzilla's death as a publicity booster.

Godzilla (1998) / int_e9f517e1	type	Artistic License â€“ Geography
Godzilla (1998) / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geography: New York doesn't really look like that. Most glaringly, one of the people in the cab says the Brooklyn Bridge is the closest suspension bridge to the Park Avenue Tunnel. The tunnel runs from 33rd Street to 40th Street, and literally every other suspension bridge over the East River is closer. Even more glaring is the first helicopter chase; Manhattan doesn't have extremely high, Coruscant-style corridors of skyscrapers taller than Godzilla that stretch for blocks and blocks. The idea that Godzilla can disappear by burrowing into New York's subway system and sewers is ridiculous; the subway tunnels are not that deep under the streets, with the deepest station being 180 feet underground. Godzilla would have to burrow past the subway tunnels into the ground underneath to remain hidden, as his size would mean he would be disturbing and collapsing the streets and would be easily visible. Godzilla is also shown diving into the Hudson River, where he is engaged by three US Navy submarines. The Hudson River is shallow; it can be anywhere from 32 to 200 feet deep at most depending on location, yet Godzilla is shown swimming well below the surface, and is nowhere close to the bottom as if he were out in the middle of the ocean. There is no way submarines would be able to conduct operations in the Hudson as well. The film doesn't give any real reason why Godzilla chooses Manhattan out of all places to nest, considering he had to have passed thousands of remote islands (to get to New York from French Polynesia, he would have needed to swim through the Caribbeans), many of them uninhabited (Manhattan is less than two-hundred metres from the mainland so it's not really isolated at all). How Godzilla even knew Manhattan existed to begin with is also unanswered. When she overhears that Mayor Ebert has agreed to the complete evacuation of Manhattan, Elsie is shocked because that would mean the emigration of "over three million people". Even more than twenty-years later, the population of Manhattan isn't even close to two million. In the beginning of the film, Godzilla sinks a Japanese fishing trawler in the South Pacific. Somehow, the ship ends up washing ashore in Jamaica of all places. Even taking into account there's no way a huge ship with such huge shears in its hull could wash ashore rather than simply sink to the bottom of the ocean forever, there's a little something known as the continent of South America between the South Pacific and Jamaica. Godzilla, in order to reach New York from French Polynesia, had to cross Panama. However, somehow, not a single person witnessed his overland journey. This is despite the fact Panama is inhabited by nearly three million people (in 1998) and even at its thinnest point, the width of Panama is over sixty kilometres from coast to coast; it's definitely a big stretch to claim that not even one person encountered him. Godzilla is discovered to have turned Madison Square Garden into a nest. How he even manages to fit inside the building without disturbing the exterior or the hallways isn't clear, because he's taller and wider than the entire building, never mind just the stadium inside the building.

Godzilla (1998) / int_ee9b6573	type	A Lesson Learned Too Well
Godzilla (1998) / int_ee9b6573	comment	A Lesson Learned Too Well: At the beginning of the film, Audrey grouses that she has not gone any further in her career after becoming Charles Caiman's assistant and she won't become a reporter, to which her friends Animal and Lucy Palotti (primarily Lucy) tells her that Nice Guys Finish Last and she needs to be more aggressive when she sees an opportunity. Of course, that opportunity is Audrey noticing that Nick is part of the task force to get Godzilla, which leads to her impersonating being a reporter (by stealing Caiman's pass) and stealing classified information (the tidbits Nick tells her and a VHS tape recorded by French Intelligence) when Nick leaves her alone in his tent. She makes a report to air on TV, but to her surprise Caiman steals the credit, and this leads to Nick being kicked out of the operation and his theory of Godzilla laying eggs being completely ignored. A couple of scenes later, Audrey is in the Palottisâ€™ apartment, crying her eyes out after Nick calls her out on what she did and Lucy and Animal are arguing on who's to blame for this.

A lizard that size burrowing around Manhattan (aside from the fact that he is too big to fully burrow underground without tunneling directly into the earth past the subway) would cause seismic disruptions and could be easily tracked by that.

Subverted later when Godzilla tries to kill four people in revenge for the deaths of his offspring... four people who weren't even responsible, well not directly at any rate.

Godzilla (1998) / int_ff74ef12	comment	Adaptation Inspiration: While the overall plot, nuclear testing releasing a giant reptilian monster that ends up making its way to a major city, is more or less the same as Godzilla (1954), it differs vastly outside of this basic description. While the original Godzilla was portrayed as a nigh unstoppable juggernaut with clear animosity towards mankind, this version is portrayed as a Fragile Speedster without any morality or city-destroying tendencies; it's just an animal trying to survive and reproduce. Additionally, the original Godzilla was an explicit metaphor for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the irradiation of the Lucky Dragon No. 5, as he was specifically mutated by American nuclear testing, while this version pushes the blame to the French and lacks any kind of symbolic depth; it's simply portrayed as how Godzilla came to be. Overall, the film is more of a military-focused action flick than the dark tragedy of the original or even the more fantastical camp of the sequels.
