Mistakes
When the first fish trap is set up and Nick realises that the manhole covers need to come off, the first covers come off, with the pile of fish in the background about one block away. Nick then runs another 1/2 a block to a block to remove another manhole cover before Godzilla sticks his head up through the road. Taking into account Godzilla's size, we can assume he is about 3 blocks away from the fish. When the shot cuts to the computer screen in the command centre, it indicates that Godzilla is SIX blocks away from the fish. See more...

When O'Neal is checking the taxi's frequency, the sheet he looks at has Scott Collins and Len Wiseman on it. They were prop assistants on this film as well as Stargate and Independence Day, all made by Roland Emmerich.
The mayor is named Ebert and his assistant is named Gene. These two were parodies of two well-known movie critics: the late Gene Siskel (who died in 1999 from complication from brain surgery) and Roger Ebert. They gave bad reviews for "Stargate" (1994) and "Independence Day" (1996) which were also made by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, so this is also their way of getting back at them. The actors who play them also look similar to Siskel and Ebert.
The Japanese ship that Godzilla attacks at the start of the film is called the Kobayashi Maru, in reference to the ill-fated starship that features in test scenarios in the Star Trek franchise.
The cop that we see when Godzilla interrupts the mayor's speech also played a cop in Independence Day, the one whose car got wrecked when the alien arrived.
This movie features three actors who do voices on The Simpsons: Nancy Cartwright has a brief cameo as a receptionist, Harry Shearer plays Charles Caiman and Hank Azaria plays Animal.
