When a freighter is viciously attacked in the Pacific Ocean, a team of experts -- including biologist Niko Tatopoulos and scientists Elsie Chapman and Mendel Craven -- concludes that an oversized reptile is the culprit.

There is no assault but there is sexual harassment. A woman’s boss implies that if she sleeps with him, he will let her advance in her career. Era typical workplace sexism is shown multiple times.

There is a scene where a man prompts another man to talk. He won’t, so the first man pulls out a lighter and shows it to the man, with the flame lit. I thought they implied they would torture/burn the man if he didn’t talk. The man talks.

A person isn't, but Godzilla should technically be a female if she reproduces parthenogenically, which is what the film says is happening. Since they keep referring to Godzilla as "he", even after they figure this out, Godzilla is technically getting mis-sexed.

In the context of animal asexual reproduction. Godzilla reproduces asexually, to which a character says “What’s the fun in that?” Played for laughs. Other characters express confusion about the concept.

An offhand reference to the Virgin Mary giving birth to Jesus without having sex, just as Godzilla lays eggs by reproducing asexually.

Both the male and female leads are sexually harassed by their bosses. Being the nineties where it is a woman objectifying a man it is played for laughs. While it is framed as wrong when a man harasses a woman there is still not a very strong reaction to it, kind of normalising the behaviour.

For the humans, the ending is happy and hopeful (though a bit ambiguous). For Godzilla and his family, however, the ending is very sad.

There’s no exact category to warn for this, but the United States is portrayed extremely favorably in this movie. The original Godzilla originated from American bombing tests, but it looks bad for America’s image to have harmed people with nuclear weapons, so blame is shifted to the French in this movie.
