[edit] Plot Summary
A new daikaiju called Deathla, bearing some resemblance to Hedorah, the Smog Monster from Banno's previous Godzilla film, appears and awaken Godzilla from hibernation in the Iguazu Falls, located between Argentina and Brazil. A battle ensues and progressed to Mexico City and finally concludes in Las Vegas. In a previous screenplay draft, it was originally written to have the battle end in New York City; in fact, Godzilla triumphed over Deathla just before the antagonist creature would've reached the site of the September 11 attack, and one of the characters was to have been the child of a fireman killed in the World Trade Center.[citation needed]
