Did you know...
That the basic storyline behind "Godzilla vs Biollante" originated from a contest!
After the success of "Godzilla 1984/1985", Toho Studios decided to hold a contest within their fanbase to see who could come up with the next storyline for a new Godzilla movie.
After hundreds of submissions the winner chosen was Shinichiro Kobayashi, a local dentist and part-time screenwriter. His idea of utilizing a life-force associated within a plant won Toho Studios over, and while it was drastically changed upon filming the basic concept was still there.
To this day Toho Studios has not redone such a "contest" again, but it was still interesting to see them allow outside input for this.
