Toho wanted to create a baby Godzilla to appeal to the "date crowd" (a genre of films that were very popular among young couples during this time period), with the idea that girls would like a "cute" baby monster. For the idea behind Minilla, Fukuda stated, "We wanted to take a new approach, so we gave Godzilla a child. We thought it would be a little strange if we gave Godzilla a daughter, so instead we gave him a son". Fukuda also wanted to portray the monsters almost as people in regards to the father-son relationship between Godzilla and Minilla, as Fukuda stated "We focused on the relationship between Godzilla and his son throughout the course of ''Son of Godzilla''.

Lambert plays Paul Racine, an American businessman who by accident earns the wrath of a ninja clan led by Lone's character, Kinjo.


The film was shot in Nagoya, Japan, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on a $25 million budget, and premiered in February 1995, taking in $6.6 million in U.S. box office.

===Development===
On May 20, 2019, following the release of ''Parabellum'', Lionsgate announced that a fourth movie is already in the works. Fans who had been receiving "John Wick" text updates from Lionsgate received the sequel news in assassin-speak Monday: "You have served. You will be of service. ''John Wick: Chapter 4'' is coming – May 21, 2021", announcing not only the film but its release date.


Before the third film's release, director Chad Stahelski confirmed on a Reddit "AMA" thread that there had been discussion for another film, and that he would be involved with the project should the threequel be successful. Despite this announcement back then, it was not confirmed if star Keanu Reeves would return for a new installment. However, he told ''GQ'' that he would carry on the role as long as the audience wanted it, saying, "As far as my legs can take me, as far as the audience wants to go."


Stahelski later teased the fourth film on an interview with IndieWire by saying Wick would not end the fourth film in "a happy ending", saying, "John may survive all this shit but at the end of it, there's no happy ending. He's got nowhere to go. Honestly, I challenge you right now, here's a question to you: How do you fucking want me to end it? Do you think he's going to ride off into the fucking sunset? He's killed 300 fucking people and he's just going to walk away, everything's okay? He's just going to fall in love with a love interest? If you're this fucking guy, if this guy really existed, how is this guy's day going to end? He's fucked for the rest of his life. It's just a matter of time." Additionally, Stahelski teased Winston's fate in the fourth film, saying, "He meant to shoot him. Did he mean to kill him? That's open for interpretation, you can take it one of two ways, and that's kind of where we pick up some of the unanswered questions in ''John Wick 4''." The studio opted to move on from series creator Derek Kolstad and instead hired Shay Hatten to write the script in May 2020. In March 2021, screenwriting duties were passed onto ''Predators'' screenwriter Michael Finch.


On May 1, 2020, IndieWire revealed that the fourth film had been delayed to a May 2022 release date following the COVID-19 pandemic and Reeves' commitments to ''The Matrix Resurrections'', which was slated to be released on the same original date window with ''Wick 4''. "''The Matrix 4'' was only four weeks in when this all happened production of ''The Matrix 4'' halted," Stahelski said, "So, Keanu's gotta go finish his commitment up on ''The Matrix'', which is a big deal and which I think will probably take him until the end of the year. Then we have to go into our prep mode and then we'll start. So release dates ... who knows right now."


When the fourth film was announced, Reeves was reportedly revealed to have begun his training course for ''John Wick 4'' and ''The Matrix 4''.
