Check Out Godzilla's Hidden Breaking Bad Easter Egg
There are some eagle-eyed ‘Breaking Bad’ fans out there – though considering the associated mania surrounding said show, that doesn’t necessarily surprise us.
In series anti-hero Bryan Cranston’s first major post-‘Breaking Bad’ role, that of science dude Joe Brody in ‘Godzilla’, there is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it reference to his other iconic science dude role, the teacher-turned-meth-manufacturer Walter White.

Jake E, a reader of film blog Slashfilm, spotted said reference while watching the movie’s opening credits.
Each star is introduced in redacted government document style, the text being blocked out, leaving the name of each actor on the screen.
In Cranston’s case, just before his name is revealed within the redacted text, so is the name Walter White.
…and cue nerdgasms across the internet.
It is – obviously – not the only minutiae that Godzilla fans have spotted during their close inspection of the rebooted monster franchise.
In fact, it appears that there are more than one or two striking similarities between Gareth Edwards’ movie and the ‘Jurassic Park’ movies too.

There are dogs barking ominously at prehistoric creatures, creatures hitting glass, men in panama hats arriving at foreign mining concerns, and public transportation behind tipped up.
Oh and that memorable helicopter approach shot has been mimicked too.
