I thought they mean "jiggawatts" in the movie, i.e. more than bazzillion watts. Where do people pronounce gigawatts like that?

On movie sets back when no one used "giga-" in daily conversation.

The French dub is famous (in France of course) for saying gigowatts.

Giga just wasn't as commonly used an SI prefix as it is now I guess.
