History Trivia / GodzillaVsBiollante

** The first fight between Godzilla and Biollante was animated in stop-motion. The many moving parts of the Biollante prop were difficult to coordinate so stop-motion was experimented with. However the shift from tokusatsu suits to animation was too jarring and it was too time consuming to apply stop motion to all the scenes to smooth it out so the stop-motion was dropped completely.

** The film was originally written by Shinichiro Kobayashi (a dentist) and featured a far different story than what the film is today. The film was to focus heavily on Dr. Shiragami as he creates both Biollante and a rat/fish hybrid monster named "Deutalios" out of insanity due to his daughter Erica's death. Godzilla would've fought, killed, and eaten Deutalios and would've fought Biollante until retreating due to injuries. However it was felt that Godzilla was given very little focus in the story, and so re-writes were made: replacing Deutalios with the Super-X2 and a rose form of Biollante, and Godzilla being injected with Anti-Nuclear Bacteria to slowly (but unsuccessfully) kill him.

** In another ending, a losing Biollante would have tried to kill Godzilla by turning into a wave of pure energy.

* CreatorBreakdown: The double whammy of this and ''Film/Gunhed'' both ending up as [[BoxOfficeBomb box office bombs]] caused long time Toho special effects director Koichi Kawakita to end up developing a drinking problem as he took the attendance failures of both movies personally. Thankfully, he would bounce back with the success of ''Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah'' which even got him a Japanese Academy Award in special effects.

* NamesTheSame: Toru Minegishi, who played Goro Gondo, is not to be confused with the Nintendo composer of the same name.

* AlternateEnding: There exists an ending where Biollante would save Godzilla by giving her lifeforce to him before disintegrating. Biollante would have turned animated to blend with the live action footage.
