Godzilla picture

Revealing mistake: When they are climbing up from the subway tunnel into Madison Square Garden, there are lots of half-dead fish scattered around from when Godzilla was feeding.

If you look closely, you can see a string attached to the fish. A crew member is obviously tugging on it from below, to make the fish move.
