Despite the remote chance it might confuse more people about the continuity of this film to the 1998 one, I actually would be ok with Mr. Broderick making a quick cameo.

If Broderick made a cameo, it would be neat. I would expect an influx of IMDb "They're connected" trolls.

I honestly wouldn't mind a Broderick cameo. He's not an amazing actor or anything, but it would be like making up with the last film, stopping the rivalry and fan-bloodshed. I would do that, anyway.

This is the only scene I would want a Broderick cameo in.

Right under the foot. And this time, no one can luck out by getting between the toes (+1 for stump feet).

(I kid, I've nothing against Broderick but his role in G98 isn't his best).

He should have been on the Hawaii beach when the tide keeps going out, he could then have said: "That's a lot of fish!" :P

All the fish aside, I find myself somewat defending of brodericks performance in that it wasnt all his fault. He was a big Godzilla fan after all and probably didnt kno what the 98 film was being set up as (a disaster). Don't get me wrong he turned his potential into blandness and poor awkward humor, but that awkwardness easily couldve came from the fact he knew the wrong direction the film was taking. hell i just learned he hosted snl right before the movie came out, this i think sums it up best. i know its a skit but you can tell what hes thinking and how embarrased he feels

Just so im not completely off-topic its kinda funny how back then they had the same rumors and speculation by fans that we have now

For a while I thought that Vishnu/Talhagan was actually going to be in the film? I kinda wish it was, it has a neat design. \

Also, what was the Tommy Wiseau rumor?

Someone messed with the imdb page during early development to put Tommy Wiseau, of The Room fame, on the cast list.
In my opinion, of course.

i really wanted the "ghidorah on the moon" rumor to be true, but it sounded way too good to be true. oh well, it's probably for the best.

It'd be awesome if he was the first person to get stepped on.

I did too. I knew there wasn't going to be Mothra, but an Easter Egg…

Same here, I already imagined 2 astronauts of Apollo 18 going to the Moon for the usual but when walking farther away, they encounter the gigantic golden sleeping carcass. :freak: :freak: Cue to BLACK

No, it was white in the SDCC'13 footage. They changed it since.
