"King Kong Vs. Godzilla" is loaded with bad special effects corny dialogue and the ugliest version of King Kong in the history of film. Wasn't there a better Kong suit available!?! It's just brutal. On the other hand Godzilla looks great here. It is hilarious to watch Kong's rubbery facial expressions and the way he runs across the countryside waving his arms above his head. Godzilla really doesn't have much to do here. Oh sure he tramples a train and knocks over a few buildings but he plays it straight compared to Kong's insanity. But...I really enjoy this show. It's one of my favorite Godzilla movies. It's funny and I think it was meant to be that way. The battles between Kong and Godzilla are numerous and they are so ridiculous that I'm convinced the makers of this movie decided to go that route. For some reason Kong gets stronger when zapped with electricity however you can put him to sleep with a little berry juice and lightly played bongo anytime you desire.

It'll always be a debate who would win between these two in a fight but NOT in this movie because Godzilla looks like a dude in a suit but Kong looks like an old roll of carpet under the bridge by the homeless encampment

Ranked: Godzilla, the King of the Monsters "Look! Who cares about Godzilla now? It's King Kong, King Kong, King Kong!" I still freaking love that Godzilla dropkick and King Kong shoving a tree in Godzilla's throat. Epic Stuff! We also get two hand-puppets fighting! It looks so cheesy but it works. Anyway I totally forgot how cheesy the human storyline was here and how epic transporting King Kong with balloons looked! I still enjoy the "draw" ending and I still think that a King Kong vs. Godzilla movie in the 60's is legendary. But seeing King Kong getting stronger by consuming electricity still makes me want to see their original plan of Frankenstein vs. Godzilla. But that will never happen. In the end if you don't mind the silliness you have entertaining entry in the Godzilla franchise and the first one in color. Waiting for the battle between the two monsters is worth the wait if you enjoy your old school Kaiju movies!

This is the point where the Godzilla franchise shifted, not so subtly, from sci-fi horror to sci-fi camp. It's got all the trappings of a generic early '60s monster stinker: atrocious production values, two badly undercooked competing storylines, awful voiceover work for both American and Japanese actors, and a total lack of moral compass. Glaringly reworked for western audiences, the plot doesn't make an awful lot of sense. Dry, boring news segments savor more screen time than anything, while an over-ambitious plot attempts to retell both monsters' origins on the cheap and fails spectacularly. The effects work is a laughingstock; an abundance of blatant toy miniatures barely manage to keep themselves upright, and the scale of both creatures varies wildly from one scene to the next. Kong's costume (with its sporadically stretching forearms) is the creme de la creme, a creation so shoddy it would have been laughed off the set of an Ed Wood movie. Terribly hokey, humorous in the most eye-rolling ways possible and completely lacking in reverence for either classic monster, it's a total catastrophe.

the fight between Godzilla and King Kong was nothing special, but it was still great to see the 2 most iconic monsters duking it out. despite popular belief there are not 2 different endings, its the same ending in Japan and America
