* MundaneUtility: The human elements of the plot are centered around the development of the Ant-Nuclear-Energy-Bacteria, which were developed from Godzilla's cells to make use of his ability to metabolize radiation as a means of cleaning up radioactive fallout.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Godzilla began his rematch with Biollante after being infected by the Anti-Nuclear-Energy-Bacteria. Though he still puts up a valiant fight and forces her to retreat, his strength and stamina were clearly fading as the fight dragged on and his Atomic Breath was getting weaker with each use.

* FreezeFrameBonus: In Gondo's office, as the camera pans towards a door, it is possible to see two unusual objects on his desk. Firstly, a statue of Godzilla in his ''King Kong vs. Godzilla'' appearance is on top of the desk. However, the second object is more...frightening. Resting against the wall is the '''Oxygen Destroyer''' from the 1954 film. Quite how the military managed to get their hands on a copy of the superweapon is unfathomable.

The seventeenth ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' film and sequel to ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla''. This film is notable for introducing psychic Miki Saegusa, who would go on to become the longest serving human character in the Godzilla series. The story originates from a script contest Creator/{{Toho}} held, which was eventually won by a dentist. While no means a classic, the film is praised for being a creative and imaginative entry. This would be the last Godzilla film to be distributed to the United States due to the incident with ''Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah'', which would not be released until 1998 to tie in with the [[Film/{{Godzilla 1998}} first American film]]. The film is, rather imaginatively, titled ''Gojira tai Biorante'' in Japan.

* VindicatedByHistory: Back when it was made the film didn't do quite so well, prompting the return of Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan and Mechagodzilla in following films. Nowadays its considered one of the absolute best of the Hesei films alongside vs. Destroyah, and one of the best films in the franchise overall thanks to the high quality of the effects.
