TRIVIA

Trivia

This documentary was included on Classic Media's DVD release of Rodan and War of the Gargantuas.

Originally, there wasn't going to be a sequence showing the suit actors demonstrated their Godzilla walk. According to Steve Ryfle, "Personally I was reluctant to ask them to do the Godzilla walk because every time I'd seen it in other documentaries, it was kind of embarrassing. For instance, Satsuma and Nakajima were interviewed for a documentary program on the Independent Film Channel several years ago, and the filmmakers had them stomping through toy buildings. It just plays into the old notion that these films are silly, and I didn't want to do that." On the day of shooting, director Norman England was discussing with the actors when they decided to do their Godzilla walks. Each actor narrated it and described his own personal style of Godzilla movement.

According to Steve Ryfle, the inception of the documentary was discussed years before, but got serious about it after Classic Media asked to pitch ideas for extras to be included in their Godzilla DVD box. "We were brainstorming, and I recall one conversation where we both essentially said, "Why don't we make a documentary about Mr. Inoue?" Both of us were thinking the same thing. We had met Yasuyuki Inoue, who was Eiji Tsuburaya's SFX art director, when Inoue came to Los Angeles in 2004 as the American Cinematheque's guest of honor. The documentary isn't entirely about Inoue of course, but his arc provides a narrative spine around which we built the story of Toho's special effects artists."
