This was the first movie I watched at a movie threater in my hometown in 1962. I was a 6 years old Japanese kindergartener. Since that time on, I have been hooked on Godzilla. I`m now a 65 years old retiree, and still a Godzilla freak.
My first theater Godzilla experience was Godzilla vs. Megalon in 1976, a double feature with The Giant Spider Invasion. I was 8. The cheering of the kids in the theater when Godzilla appeared was deafening. One of the best memories of my life. Saw it with mom, who passed away in 2015 but not before we saw several more Godzilla films in theaters together, including the Godzillafest marathon in 2004 in San Francisco that presented fantastic prints of most of the Showa films with English subtitles... And I got to meet several of the original Showa actors, like Hiroshi Koizumi, Jerry Ito, Akira Kubo, Russ Tamblyn and others.
my only problem with it is the effects. Even for the showa period these were really bad. Mainly ssince most of the budget prob went towards getting the kong rights. Granted I still love the movie but Im so thankful we a got a remake.
Anyone else notice that the stop-motion Godzilla's design feels more similar to the MosuGoji and later suits than the one and done KingGoji design? It even resembles the Heisei design a bit, very interesting.
I find it interesting that they kept the 54 roar used in the trailer before they used a new and the later more iconic high pitched roar for him in the film.
Most likely, the sound design department didn't create the roar yet. Back in those days, Toho would assign a film a release date and already have posters, production stills, teasers, and trailers while the film was still in production! This explains why there's a few outtakes that didn't appear in the final cut.
This was actually the first Godzilla i watched in full, cause before then i skipped all the story and fast forwarded to the monsters. But with this one, i just stopped and sat down to watch it all, and what do you know, it wasnt that bad.
It was so disrespectful they didn't use Ifukube's music in the american cut. Music is universal and doesn't need to be "localized". After watching the american cut so many times, I was able to watch the Japanese blu-ray which didn't have subtitles at the time. Since I watched it so many times I was still able to9 understand what's going on. Despite not being to understand anything they were saying the music alone in this version made all the difference in the action sequences.
*Godzilla wins* Godzilla: “Okay, we’ll settle this once and for in another 59 years” Kong, slowly getting back up: “Put another 10 years on that” Godzilla: “Why would I-.....NIIIIICE!” Kong: “NIIIIICE!”
This was the first Godzilla anything I saw. Even though it was the NA version i saw this at my babysitters house and our mom was nice enough to buy some vhs's from the store and got this and Godzilla vs Megalon. We (my brother and i) were hooked since.
They actually did but it's very easy to miss. It's during the part where Kong throws a crane at a building to distract Godzilla, jumps on his back, and begins beating him in the back of the head.
The Crossover film features Godzilla and King Kong. Toho Company Ltd movie monster "Godzilla" and RKO Pictures/Universal Studios movie monster "King Kong". 59 years ago.
This isn't a crossover film. King Kong in this movie is a brand new character who exists solely in Godzilla's universe. It's not the character from the 1933 film.
@@ConstantineFurman yes it is. Fun fact: Godzilla has also fought characters from other franchises in crossover media, such as the RKO Pictures/Universal Studios movie monster King Kong, as well as various Marvel Comics characters, including S.H.I.E.L.D.,[33] the Fantastic Four[34] and the Avengers.[35]
@@ConstantineFurman The 1933 King Kong film and character inspired imitations and installments. Son of Kong, a direct sequel to the 1933 film was released nine months after the first film's release. In the early 1960s, RKO had licensed the King Kong character to Japanese studio Toho and produced two King Kong films, King Kong vs. Godzilla (a crossover with the Godzilla series) and King Kong Escapes, both directed by Ishirō Honda. In 1976, Italian producer Dino De Laurentiis released his version of King Kong, a modern remake of the 1933 film, which was followed by a sequel in 1986 titled King Kong Lives. In 2005, Universal Pictures released another remake of King Kong, directed by Peter Jackson. Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. released a Kong reboot film titled Kong: Skull Island in 2017 which was directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and is the second installment of Legendary's MonsterVerse, with a sequel Godzilla vs. Kong directed by Adam Wingard set for a May 2021 release, marking the second time Kong fights Godzilla.
@@iandanielcassidy8126 Ian, dude. I edit books and magazines about the making of Japanese science fiction. I know ALL of that. Your regurgitating of trivia does not impress me, so settle down. For it to be a crossover, the CHARACTER has to have existed before. The character Godzilla faces in "King Kong vs. Godzilla" did not exist before that movie. He was introduced solely to battle Godzilla. I repeat King Kong in "King Kong vs. Godzilla" is not King Kong from the 1933 film. Godzilla didn't crossover with the Marvel characters either. That specific character is not the Godzilla of the Showa series (of that time). He is a brand new character created by Marvel themselves for their 21-issue run (or however many it was). These are all facts, whether you like them or not.
Como me gustaría que las películas originales como Godzilla vs Destoroyah, Godzilla Tokyo SOS, y el resto las pasarán en TV abierta o al menos en Netflix, Que opinarian???
Cuando era niño las pasaban en el canal 5, nunca me las perdía, eran, y siguen siendo, mis favoritas. Bueno, eso aquí en México, no sé de qué país eres, ni qué edad tengas, pero en mi país y época si las pasaban los domingos en forma maratonica 🙂
Still a great movie, even with some script-oddity. The original script was kong vs frankenstein, than an other monster and finally godzilla. So Kong has Frankenstein's healing and electricity-power and godzilla is weak against electricity (in the original movie he never mind the electricity). I'm from germany and I bought the japanese dvd then, because the german-version was like the us-cut so you need the import disc. Nowadays you can get both versions here.
He only had one other showa era film and it's not connected to godzilla's showa era films (except for the kiryu saga). Toho just didn't use kong much after 1962
I'll be honest, idk what you guys were thinking with the Godzilla design. I know the film was made a bit after ww2 and supplies might've been short, so I'll cut you guys some slack. No hard feelings though
It is 60 anniversary of greatest monster 👻 battle on film 🎥 and two best looking Bond girls 👧 Japanese actresses Mie Hama and Aikio Wakabayashi was in that movie 🎬

Mine was thanks to TNTs Monstervision when I was 6 in 94. 😊
Woahhh they gave us another GvK trailer
@TyrecusK Dale Hilarious I laughed **c laugh**
It would be very funny if Legendary/WB showed this trailer instead.
I love the soundtrack of this movie especially kong's theme
yeah its so original

Excellent timing Toho, I see you
Love the original Japanese version of this film, great mix of comedy, social satire, and adventure.

This is a TIMELESS classic, two legends duke it out in one of the biggest rivalries in cinema!!!!

It does except it looks more fat
Perfect timing
@TyrecusK Dale Do you want them to hate you and dislike you, I will gladly dislike them for spam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I find it interesting that they kept the 54 roar used in the trailer before they used a new and the later more iconic high pitched roar for him in the film.
they did use the newer roars in this trailer...???

The Japanese version of this film and 2001 are two of some of the best films of the 60s
I love Godzillas roar in this film
Mr Tako is the best character in cinema history. He and his pharmaceutical company better be in the new movie. they were the Og #TeamKong supporters.
This is a wholesome comment, thank you. That will be neat.
Toho Is the best
2021 is godzilla's rematch
*Godzilla wins*
Godzilla: “Okay, we’ll settle this once and for in another 59 years”
Kong, slowly getting back up: “Put another 10 years on that”
Godzilla: “Why would I-.....NIIIIICE!”
Kong: “NIIIIICE!”
This feels nostalgic, and pretty awesome
It has been 59 years since Godzilla and kong has been in a battle in a film . GVK will have enough success.
No.....it must succeed!!!!!! But wishing the best especially with not many theatera not opening. Wishing the best.

King kongs roar in this film is really creepy
I was just thinking that. They sound distorted. Also some of the godzilla shots don't look like the same suit which confuses me.

It's always interesting to see how many scenes in the trailer never make it to the final version of the movie.

Oh! A new GvK trailer!
Did anyone realize in the trailer they used Godzilla's roars from the 50's for this but changed it in the movie? I don't know why they did..
Loved this movie.
Mie Hama and Aiko Wayabishi were both Bond girls with Sean Connery in You Only Live Twice 😊
It'd be awesome if they put one of Kong's roars from this film is the new one.
Some people believe that the roar Kong uses at Godzilla in the ocean is the same 1976 King Kong roar altered a little bit!
They actually did but it's very easy to miss. It's during the part where Kong throws a crane at a building to distract Godzilla, jumps on his back, and begins beating him in the back of the head.
@@ASimpleGodzillaFandon’t forget about the scene where Kong first entered the temple
