   Isn't the helicopter that Baragon is thrown into and destroys a news   
   copter?   
      
   I don't think the media have ever been used much in G movies.  I always   
   thought it odd that G could wonder over the Japanese countryside as he   
   pleases without a horde of helicopters and planes follwing him [at a safe   
   distance!] but I've assumed it's one of the peculiarities of the series   
   that we accept much like we accept that except for the original GvMothra   
   film [and the US version at that] that the US military has never pursued   
   the beast in international waters.
