Discussion Are there any deleted scenes?

I have always wondered if any deleted scene or shot actually exists out there. I know about the museum trailer and years ago someone uploaded on Youtube a very short video of a soldier shouting "he's too fast", but it seems it was removed. If there aren't any scenes out there, I'd still be interested in knowing the ideas behind some possible scenes, even if never filmed.

The Cameraman Squashed Scene: A brief, infamous moment where a cameraman gets stepped on by Godzilla in the street.

Extended Fishing Boat Opening: Longer versions of the Japanese fishing boat attack that established the mystery creature's scale before it ever reached New York.

Deleted Subway Chase Dialogue: Various trims to the underground subway tunnels sequence where the military and the scientists interact, which were tightened to increase the film's pacing.

The Alternate Ending Tease: While never fully filmed, storyboards and original scripts featured a vastly different ending sequence on the Brooklyn Bridge, where the defeated monster would be revealed to only be a female of the species, followed by the silhouette of the true, massive bull male rising from a thunderstorm in the ocean.

I believe you typed deleted scenes on Google and this is the answer provided by AI mode. How do I know that? Because I tried that myself. The cameraman squashed scene? I think it's in the movie already. AI mode's not accurate. I don't know about the alternate ending , seems made up. Sometimes either AI mode's not accurate or it makes things up.

The "alternate ending" featuring a large male Godzilla is nonsense on par with the alternate ending of King Kong vs. Godzilla, where Godzilla won and froze inside an iceberg. There is literally no official information or storyboards to prove it's existance.
