If someone has posted about this already, I apologize, I just haven't seen it. Scrolling on the IMDb page I found a section with just simple fun facts about Godzilla! I'll paste some of them, and link the source! I found them very interesting!

 

"Godzilla's appearance shows him covered in keloid scars. This feature was taken from the original Godzilla (1954), who was heavily scarred to evoke the gruesome marks born by the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings; this enhances the concept of Godzilla as a monster created by nuclear weapons.

 

"Gareth Edwards and the design group reviewed all the previous incarnations of Godzilla's design for influence on the final design for the film: "The way I tried to view it was: imagine Godzilla was a real creature and someone from Toho saw him in the 1950s and ran back to the studio to make a movie about the creature and was trying their best to remember and draw it... and in our film you get to see him for real. It was important that this felt like a Toho Godzilla."

"While shooting this film, cinematographer Seamus McGarvey accidentally went to a lakeside set of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014), which was also shooting nearby in Vancouver and looked very similar to the set for this film that he was set to shoot on that day. He described walking around with his light meter, not recognizing anyone, as a "surreal, dreamlike experience" until he realized his mistake."

"This film is to release in 2014, Godzilla's 60th anniversary."

Trivia section on IMDb. Every movie has these facts. It's always fun to read them about your favourite movies. Quentin Tarantino's films usually have the most interesting ones.

Thanks for the share, I wasn't aware of that first fact you posted. I'll be looking for thoe scars.

So Godzilla's hide was made to evoke serious burning scars... I didn't know that and I never imagined it ever since there are many reptilian creatures with rough scaly patterns. But if the skin patterns had a meaning, what could evoke the Gabara's hide? X( By the way, a couple facts I found fun from Godzilla Official Compendium (maybe already you know one) are: when Tanaka and the staff wanted to give the name for the monster, someone remembered a big and plump fellow in other department nicknamed "Gojira", the name was the contraction of the words we know and was to allude the really big size of that guy. Tanaka loved the idea and for so he gave the name Gojira to his monster. The second fact isn't new in date terms, but I was shocked when I discovered it in the compendium several years ago. My Granny, Godzilla and me share the very same Birthday!!! Ever since I was little kid I loved Godzilla movies, but realizing that Godzilla and us are from November 3 was a big surprise.
