* FollowTheLeader: Why this version of ''Godzilla'' never got made. After the financial success of ''Film/IndependenceDay'', Creator/TriStarPictures decided that they wanted their own disaster movie to compete and so hired that film's director, Creator/RolandEmmerich, to direct the film, even though he admitted that he never liked ''Godzilla'' in the first place.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: One legend associated with this planned 1994 US remake was that it would star an adult Junior. According to the myth, the original ending of ''Film/GodzillaVSMechagodzillaII'' (1993) was initially going to end with Godzilla performing a HeroicSacrifice by exploding and pulling a TakingYouWithMe on Mechagodzilla. Junior was then said to grow into an adult Godzilla and head to America where the US films would start. In reality, no such idea was ever conceived by Toho, [=TriStar=], or any film company at the time.

** The film itself, of course, but Creator/RicardoDelgado was hired alongside Creator/StanWinston to come up with concept sculptures for Godzilla. Winston's [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/28/Winston_Godzilla.jpg design more closely resembled the Japanese Godzilla]], while Delgado's [[http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg528/scaled.php?server=528&filename=94modelkit.jpg&res=landing bore a stronger resemblance to a theropod dinosaur while still recognizably being Godzilla]].
