Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)

No Quote for this film.

In the scene towards the end, where Godzilla's head pops up behind the mountain (behind the policeman), the Godzilla "theme" music begins to play. Composer Akira Ifukube felt that music wasn't needed in that scene because, as he said, "Godzilla's appearance is already impressive enough." However, director Ishirô Honda decided to include the music cue anyway. Upon the first screening, when the scene appears with the music, it is said that Ifukube gave Honda a very "disapproving" look. However, it was the only moment in their professional careers together that they ever had a disagreement.
First Godzilla film without newly-shot American footage added for the American release. The scene in which Godzilla is attacked by the American military only exists in the American cut, but this footage was shot by Toho during the original Japanese shoot.
The Mosugoji suit is a favorite among fans. After the more comedic approach to Godzilla in King Kong vs. Godzilla, Toho decided to return its big star back to his original, evil, marauding depiction for this film. The Mosugoji suit, designed by Teizo Toshimitsu, was very different in appearance than its predecessor, Kingoji. Godzilla had less reptilian features than the Kingoji suit. The Mosugoji suit was also less bulky. The snout was slightly shorter, and the yellow around the pupils was changed to white. The tail was also made longer, and the skin featured a slight greenish tinge.
