Akira Takarada (actor de la cinta original de Honda y que tuvo varias participaciones en la saga como Mothra vs Godzilla, Invasion of the Astro-Monster, Shin Godzilla -la ultima en la que tuvo un rol dentro de la saga- e incluso varias de la Heisei) filmo un cameo que por desgracia fue cortado, por meras cuestiones de ritmo, despues de años pidiendo que se monstrara la escena, por fin.

Es un cameo muy pequeño, en la que el actor interpretra a un trabajador en el aeropuerto de Tokio donde Ford llega.

A year went by and with the film’s release quickly approaching, word came that Mr. Takarada’s cameo had been cut from the film.

And it felt very appropriate at the time because he played an immigrations officer who welcomes Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s character to Japan. So, it was like this perfect Day 1, first shot and then when we constructed the film… Basically, there was a lot of pressure to get on with the adventure and get to the monsters as soon as you can and so lots of things came out of that part of the movie and I hung onto that until the last second and it was still deemed by the screenings — when we tested it — that we had to get it shorter and, so, that ended up having to go, which is probably my biggest regret.”

“He’s a real gentleman, so I think he was understanding. But it’s one of those horrible things about the process,

El actor falleceria en 2022.
