Did you know...
...that within the 1998 Godzilla
film, so precise was the detail placed into each scene that during the final taxi chase scene with Godzilla, there was even a brief shot showcasing the final meter tally for the entire ride.It came up to $95.20!
Now I know this film has its detractors.
Different Godzilla-suit and lame movie jokes aside, what one can't argue against is how big of a scope this film aimed for.
It set out to be a blockbuster and the results certainly paid off.
Case in point is the fantastic taxi chase scene near the end of the movie.
I'll never forget the first time I saw this. There was that previous scene where the heroes are all standing in front of Madison Square Garden, it looks like the film is about to close with a group shot and the happy music is playing...then all of a sudden Godzilla roars out of the ground and begins personally chasing them!
This final taxi scene blew my mind because it was an extra bonus that came out of nowhere! It was never hinted within any of the trailers or TV spots, so filmmakers Devlin and Emmerich truly kept it well hidden.
There's just something so amazing in witnessing our heroes being personally chased by a 200 foot tall creature hell-bent on revenge.
That was incredible!
I truly hope the new Godzilla movie has something like that, because if it's done right it'll be like we're truly experiencing this ourselves, especially if it's in 3D.
