Awesome / Godzilla vs. Biollante

• Godzilla's triumphant emergence from the erupting Mt. Mihara, set to his iconic title theme by Akira Ifukube.
• Godzilla and Biollante's first fight, as the plant creature stays hidden in the water while lashing out with powerful vines.
• The reveal of Biollante's evolved form as it attacks Godzilla.
• Godzilla gets his palm and shoulder speared by Biollante's tendrils during their climatic battle. It's as ballsy as it is shocking for a Godzilla flick, particularly the former instance as the tendril is explicitly shown going straight through the Big G's hand and even lingers on the shot for a bit. Doubly qualifies as Nightmare Fuel, but almost immediately harkens back to Awesome when Godzilla grabs the tendril, yanks it right back out, and continues fighting undeterred. Nightmarish? For younger viewers, yes. Nauseating? A bit. Bad-freakin-Ass? Hell yes.
• The sudden introduction of Godzilla's thermal pulse attack.
• Godzilla blasting a hole down Biollante's throat. He finally did the one thing every kid played out with their toys.
  • And it was so utterly awesome, they reused it in the 2014 reboot.
  • Biollante gets one in return by basically shrugging it off and healing from it.
• The precognitive children drawing their dreams. They all had the same dream, which they show to their instructor happily: Godzilla in the volcano, surrounded by flames. And some of the drawings actually look pretty impressive.
  • The looks on the instructor’s and Miki’s faces and the dramatic music playing during this scene somewhat zings it back around to a Funny Moment though.
• When Miki decides to try to telepathically compel Godzilla to avoid making landfall, we get an indication of the strength of Godzilla's will: his response to her psychic intrusion puts her in a coma.
• After SSS9 murders Kirishima's colleague, the scientist pursues the professional killer in a car, runs him off the road, and gets into a brawl with him. He eventually loses the fight and needs Kuroki to save his life, but it's still an impressive sequence, something that is quickly lampshaded.
  Asuka: You looked like Batman.
• SSS9 meeting his end at long last. Having shot and killed Shiragami and being close to doing the same to Kirishima, he steps onto one of the M6000 T.C.S's heating pads, and is immediately vaporised when Sho Kuroki turns it on.
• Gondo firing the ANEB rocket into Godzilla's mouth as he utters his one-liner before Godzilla kills him.
• The massive Battle in the Rain Godzilla has with the JGSDF while they light him up with the M6000 Thunder Control System.
• Every time Godzilla trades energy blasts with the remote-operated Super X-II. Its predecessor ship ends up vainly fleeing from Godzilla in the previous film's climax, with Super X-II standing its ground and surviving multiple battles before going down due to the Fire Mirror melting because of how hot Godzilla's Atomic Breath is.
• While more funny than awesome, the fact that Godzilla is so established a character by now that this film gets its own unique content descriptor for its traditional violence. Does your favorite movie character have their own content descriptor? No? Yeah. Didn't think so.
