Continuity mistake: When the Mayor of New York is talking to the crowds and people can feel the ground bouncing, Godzilla is a fair bit away, but when she is stomping through the streets the people don't feel it at all - shouldn't they be thrown into the air from that proximity? (00:26:25)
Godzilla (1998)
Plot summary
Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Starring: Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Maria Pitillo
Godzilla (Tsutomo Kitagawa) is back and this time he's trying to smash and destroy all of Japan's nuclear reactors and power plants. A local scientist (Takehiro Murata) who is trying to decode the giant lizard's motives and predict where his next terrifying steps will land, concludes that there must be some greater force controlling Godzilla. When meteor showers and spaceships are thrown into the mix, Godzilla--along with the entire population of Japan--are lost to chaos, crisis, and hysteria.

Trivia: In response to fan-backlash against this film, Toho (the Japanese company responsible for the "Godzilla" film series) decided to have some fun at the expense of the film. The film "Godzilla: Final Wars" made this movie officially canonical with the "Millennium Era" film series, by suggesting that the events of this film happened, but that it was misconstrued as a Godzilla attack by the US. To even further parody this film, the "Godzilla" from this movie appears, being rebranded "Zilla", and is killed by the Japanese Godzilla within seconds.
