* RefittedForSequel: Godzilla coming back to life as an undead monster was based on the original idea in 1995 where the original Godzilla from 1954 would return as a vengeful ghost out for blood and fights his successor and Angurius. The title would have been ''Godzilla vs. Ghost Godzilla'', but Toho didn't want another movie of Godzilla fighting another antagonist Godzilla, and so it eventually became ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah''. However, instead of being of ghost, the Godzilla in this film is a zombie.

*** Next, Kaneko fleshed out a story in which Godzilla does battle with an astronaut turned space alien dubbed "M" (essentially a SpiritualAdaptation of the ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'' episode "My Home is Earth"). A couple of drafts for the idea were worked on, the last one created made full use of the Millennium concept with an alternate reality where Japan had become the "Republic of Japan" with a large military at its disposal rather than a Self Defense Force. In the end however, Kaneko dropped the story because it ended up being too depressing for the kind of movie he wanted to make.

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Godzilla being the embodiment of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII causalities came from the director's reaction to Japanese nationalist groups coming to power and downplaying Imperial Japan's actions in the Pacific.

** Godzilla was originally going to fight smaller, weaker monsters who were sent as guardians to save Japan from his wrath and writer Shusuke Kaneko first selected Anguirus, Varan and Baragon. Toho disapproved of using Anguirus and Varan because those two haven't brought on big numbers at the box office in the past (even though Anguirus never got his own movie) and for a real stupid reason, not luminescent enough. The costume designer for the movie was so upset that Toho declined to let Varan appear (as Varan was his favorite monster) that he put some of Varan's skin onto King Ghidorah.

** In an interesting case, Godzilla's suit in this movie is an example of WhatCouldHaveBeen- initially, the suit designer intended to have the King of Monsters adopt a more realistically-saurian pose, horizontal with his head level with his tail. Although ultimately this idea was scrapped for practicality reasons (it's hard enough holding up a 400-lbs suit as it is, let alone bent in half at the waist,) remnants of the design can still be seen in the way Godzilla's head rotates, and in his infamous pot belly.
