Godzilla vs. Destoroyah/YMMV


 * Awesome Music: Akira Ifukube sent both Godzilla and himself out with a bang, as this was Ifukube's last film score before he retired. In an interview, Ifukube said that composing music for Godzilla's death was almost like composing music for his own death.
 * Complete Monster: Destoroyah plays this trope completely straight.
 * Fridge Brilliance: Remember the line "Godzilla never does destroy Japan"? Remember Junior's Gentle Giant nature? That's right, he's the Godzilla that never destroyed Japan.
 * Destoroyah was invulnerable to the military freezing weapons after his first One-Winged Angel transformation, but it's ultimately what does him in. Why? Because he'd just been super-heated by Godzilla's meltdown. His super-heated armor was rapidly cooled, subjecting him to thermal shock. He was probably reduced to a fragile wreck before he hit the ground, allowing the impact to finish him.
 * Tear Jerker: Junior's death, and Godzilla's failed attempt to revive him. The music for this sequence is appropriately titled Roar of Sadness. Also, Godzilla's death.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot : Though this scene was removed because it lessened the impact of Godzilla's death, it is satisfying seeing Godzilla give Destoroyah a No Holds Barred Beatdown as he dies.
