Godzilla Trivia of the Day


Did you know...

That in Godzilla vs. Mothra (1964), during the scene where Godzilla was being bombarded with flames the suit's head (that the stuntman was wearing) actually caught on fire!

It quickly went out once the flammable liquid finished, but the resulting accidental footage of Godzilla with his head on fire was included within the movie.

The interesting part was that the stuntman inside Godzilla's suit was so unaware of this (thanks to the stuffiness and immobility of the suit) that he presumably never knew this had occurred until later on.

This actually makes sense because if you've read any reports on the stuntmen within any Godzilla movie, they'll always state how restrictive and claustrophobic the suits were.

These suits are so thick they're literally walking carpets that obstruct anything happening around the stuntmen.
