Question 1

Why does Godzilla fly in this film?

Accepted Answer

Godzilla flies by firing his atomic breath towards the ground and propelling himself backwards through the air. This is the only Godzilla film where he demonstrates this ability.

Question 2

What was the inspiration for Hedorah's unsettling eyes?

Accepted Answer

Director Yoshimitsu Banno deliberately made Hedorah's eyes resemble female genitalia, joking that the vaginally inspired look made it more unsettling.

Question 3

Who played Hedorah in the monster suit?

Accepted Answer

Kenpachirô Satsuma portrayed Hedorah. It was his first time wearing a Toho monster suit, and he initially accepted the role because it paid well, later developing a fondness for suit acting.

Question 4

Why was the flying scene of Godzilla chasing Hedorah used instead of a foot chase?

Accepted Answer

Director Yoshimitsu Banno chose the flying scene because he thought a comical scene was needed to lighten the mood and contrast the film's darker imagery, especially scenes of people being killed by Hedorah.

Question 5

What was the planned sequel to this film?

Accepted Answer

A sequel set in Africa was tentatively planned, but producer Tomoyuki Tanaka was disappointed by the finished film and reportedly told director Banno he had ruined the Godzilla series. Banno later disputed this story.
