10 Movies That Struggled To Define Their Own Rules

There are so, so many things to hate about Roland Emmerich's 1998 Godzilla movie, not least the iconic monster's controversial design, which reimagined the creature as a sleek, oversized lizard which didn't even have atomic breath.

But the big internal inconsistency in the film is its approach to Godzilla's size: in one scene it creates a lair within a subway tunnel, but later on it can't fit inside the decidedly larger Hyde Park tunnel.

Godzilla's eyes and especially its toes are markedly different in size between scenes, suggesting that Emmerich either simply didn't care or didn't have enough prep time to figure out the sense of scale before shooting started.

The fact that the movie's famous original poster suggested Godzilla to be skyscraper-sized only for the final film to scale him down considerably suggests the production never really settled on a definite stature for the monster. That's pretty crucial, no?
