FACT NUMBER #1
A skeleton can be seen outside Godzilla's underwater temple. This skeleton resembles Anguirus, the dinosaur that served as Godzilla's ally in few past Godzilla films. The filmmakers confirmed that it was indeed Anguirus.
For the roars, the director felt it was important to "getting the noises right" and gave the sound designers a "super cut" of the monster roars from the Showa Godzilla films and had them start from there. He confirmed that the monsters would have new roars that will resemble the original incarnations. Dougherty used the Showa roars on a massive speaker system to use on-set for scenes where actors had to run from or react to the monsters.
FACT NUMBER #2
When King Ghidorah's head is severed and a new head grows, the new head retains the memories and personality of the original head. As the director Michael Dougherty pointed out, this is because Ghidorah's neurons are scattered throughout its body, like an octopus.
FACT NUMBER #3
When Doctor Serizawa sets the nuclear device in Godzilla's sea subterranean 'recovery' location, he lastly glances at his old pocket-watch.The time in the Pocket watch is almost at Eight Fifteen,which is the exact time that the first ever nuclear bomb exploded on Hiroshima in 19 45.
FACT NUMBER #4
Castle Bravo,The Monarch outpost is named after the thermonuclear device detonated as part of the Operation Castle nuclear bomb tests at Eniwetok Island, Bikini Atoll. Castle Bravo was the first test of high yield thermonuclear devices and was detonated on March 1, 19 54. The energy release was 2.5 times the predicted amount.That same morning, a Japanese fishing vessel known as the Daigo Fukuryu Maru sailed into radiation poisoned waters and unknowingly brought back with it contaminated tuna to be sold at market; leading to multiple deaths and devastating Japan's tuna market. These events formed one of the primary influences behind the first Godzilla movie titled Godzilla that released in 19 54 in Japan.
FACT NUMBER #5
A newspaper headline during the credits speculates on possibly using Kaiju feces as fertilizer, an idea previously discussed by Hannibal Chau in Pacific Rim (2013).
FACT NUMBER #6
In the opening minutes of the movie there is an ongoing anti-Titan protest.In that Protest the protestor's signs read "Destroy All Monsters," which is a reference to the 1968 Toho film "Destroy All Monsters." The plot revolves around a battle against Monsters who are controlled by An alien race called Kilaak and the United Nations Scientific Committee.
FACT NUMBER #7
When all seems lost for Godzilla in his final battle against King Ghidorah, Mothra sacrificed herself.Her remaining atomize life energy was absorbed into Godzilla's body, which revived him and granted a new "Burning" Super Mode, and provides him with the brand new ability called Nuclear Pulse.This is a nod to the Japanese Film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2 that released in 1993.In this film, when Mechagodzilla destroys Godzilla's hindbrain and paralyzes him, a mortally wounded Rodan sacrifices himself so that Godzilla can absorb his life force, helping to regenerate him and provides the brand new, red-colored, Spiral Heat Ray ability.
FACT NUMBER #8
FACT NUMBER #9
It's revealed that Ghidorah can regenerate his heads after Godzilla bites his left head off, which makes sense as he is said to have inspired the legends of the Greek Hydra. Godzilla kills the middle head by incinerating it with his nuclear pulses in his Burning Form, just like how Hercules slew the Hydra by burning off its heads so they couldn't regenerate. And even after Godzilla vaporizes the rest of his body, the center head is shown still alive and struggling in Godzilla's jaws, just like how the mythical Hydra had one immortal head that lived even after Hercules severed it and forced him to bury it beneath a rock.
FACT NUMBER #10
The makers gave Godzilla a new design in the film has his tail somewhat redesigned to look smaller and thinner,they also redesigned his dorsal spines to look much bigger.Although it's a behind the scene decesion,It has much more significance to the lizard species.In real world, lizards store energy-rich fat in their tails as a source of energy during lean times, so it's possible that similar to this, Godzilla's been using up more of his stores due to increased activity since the Muto incident.His claws and spines being bigger and Godzilla becoming more aggressive and territorial, suggest he's entering a hormonal cycle.
