As this is a series of shots and close-ups, we know it's in the script.
Why do you think is the reason for this scene? |
Either the actor tripped or it was put in there to showcase that Godzilla is a living creature that can fall and cause utter destruction even just by doing that. Since this was the last Godzilla film (In the Showa Series) in which Godzilla was portrayed as the villain, i think it might have been important to showcase that vulnerability to become the hero for the later films.
Also Japan loves its slapstick comedy so it could just be that.
By the way i rewatched this (The original japanese version) recently. Meant to comment on here but been busy. I really enjoyed it, i thought Mothra was a great foil to Godzilla. Mothra is a protector of nature and life while Godzilla is a destroyer. Mothra is the perfect nemesis for evil Godzilla. I loved how seamlessly the story tied in together. So much in the beginning is spent on the monster egg and then suddenly Godzilla shows up and it could've really failed at transitioning the movie to that but they did a really good job.
