Most of them are dead or dying. Some children are crying and dead, doctors have radiation gauges and the children are shown to be exposed to excess radiation.

A small village on Odo island is destroyed. Loud noises are heard. A helicopter is thrown into the water. Godzilla appears and destroys Japanese cities, mainly Tokyo. Godzilla destroys buildings and bridges, he is also shown destroying a boat and sinking it. Tanks, planes, and military personal are used against Godzilla, but they are no match. A scientist creates a weapon dubbed the "Oxygen Destroyer", he tests it on a tank full of fish. The fish dissolved into skeletons. The Oxygen Destroyer is used on Godzilla underwater, Godzilla's body dissolves into a skeleton and then the skeleton dissolves into nothing. In order for the military to not use the Oxygen Destroyer for other uses, the scientist kills himself after he kills Godzilla. |
| profanity | Very little profanity. One use of the phrase "Living hell". |
| alcohol | Steve Martin is seen smoking a pipe or cigarette in several scenes |
| frightening | A woman holds her children close as Godzilla rampages nearby. In the Japanese version she is translated as telling her children that they will be with their father soon. A dead mother is carried away as her child sobs. A choir of girls sing in unison a depressing melody. The scientist's death is unsettling. |
