Just a couple of thoughts to add here.
First... from what I understand, Godzilla was SUPPOSED to slide into the castle and destroy it. THere were two men behind the structure to aid in pulling it down.
But the first time they shot it, the two men missed thier cue, and the castle didn't collapse.
They continued the shot, cutting to a close up of Godzilla scraping at it, and then, cutting back to it collapsing.
I was always under the impression that Godzilla was 'supposed' to be depicted as 'clumsy' in this film. There's a subtle under theme in this movie.... that evil will ultimately destroy itself.
Torahota kills Kuamyama. Godzilla kills Torahata.
In the end... was it really the Mothras that sent Godzilla into the ocean, or was it his own carelessness?
Just my thoughts...
