King Kong vs. Godzilla
Regarding Godzilla's design, director Takao Okawara wanted to make "something new" and noted that Godzilla's height has changed over the years, stating, "I felt that that distance between human beings and Godzilla was too much, so we reduced its height back to something closer to the original at approximately 170 feet." The basic design of the suit was modelled heavily after the KingGoji suit from 1962's "King Kong vs. Godzilla".
