Godzilla's final Heisei film has him pulling a number of these. First by kicking his rage up and tacking Destoroyah in a No Holds Barred Beat Down. Later he begins to focus his breath weapon on one spot, blasting a hole in his enemy. Then he gets in close and tears the hole wider with his claws, spraying more blood, and finally fires once more at point blank range. Destroyah keeps fighting and only retreating when Godzilla's radioactive power is nearing critical and he fires several fire breathes and nearly blows Destroyah apart, weakening the monster too much and forcing it to retreat.
Even the opening titles for the movie is soaked in awesome; remember, this was supposed to be Godzilla's Grand Finale...Toho was pulling out all the stops. Godzilla's rampage through Hong Kong was appropriately epic.
After it seems very close to having a Downer Ending with Godzilla Junior murdered and Godzilla having gone through a tear jerking demise, we see something moving in the mist. The radiation levels given off from Godzilla's death plummet, being sucked into something. The camera pans in to reveal a revived and fully grown Godzilla Junior. And in a cap off to the era, we've seen the monster prince grow up from a timid baby, to a bubbly toddler, to a badass Gentle Giant teenager; and now into a powerful new King of the Monsters.
