Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first Godzilla film to feature Miki Saegusa's psychic powers prominently, establishing the ESP institute subplot that would continue through the Heisei era.
The 'G-Crusher' targeting Godzilla's second brain directly references then-current debates about Japan's pacifist constitution and offensive military capabilities.
