Godzilla: King of the Monsters has smashed his way to cinemas to once again, fight the Three-Headed Dragon Ghidorah and the ancient dinosaur Rodan. Helping him out is the benevolent Titan Mothra, all which are from classic Toho films. While we were too busy being entertained by all the monster carnage, you may have missed the dozens of easter eggs and references hidden away in the movie.
There are quite a few references to the old Toho films of old. Toho is the Japanese company that produced the monster movies which featured the likes of Godzilla, Ghidorah, Rodan, Mothra and more. You can catch titles of old movies like “Destroy all Monsters” hidden away in the film while nods to old monsters and movies can be scattered around or implied. Plus there are more than a few nods towards Skull Island, as this movie and Kong: Skull Island are in the same universe and the two will go head to head in next year’s film, Godzilla versus Kong.
There are references to non-Toho films as well, such as nods to The Exorcist and The Thing that you likely didn’t catch. The filmmakers also implied that the Loch Ness Monster is also in fact, a Titan and now we want to see such a crossover event happen. There’s also plenty of references to old Godzilla films, such as parallels between Dr. Serizawa and the inclusion of one Steve Martin-no, not that one. Of course, the after credit scene implies big things are coming-literally-with the possible tease that Mecha Ghidorah is coming soon.
