Based on the title, you can tell I am a dedicated Godzilla Fan. I have watched this movie countless times and even today I still get a kick out of it. It was this movie that I started to take a liking to King Kong (I am one who didnt really enjoy the 1933 oringal King Kong movie) and I must say the scenes with Kong is so hilarious.
Those who watch monster movies in terms of plot may want to look elsewhere as true monster fans know that the reasons we watch this is because of the monster battles (what else?). The first meeting between Godzilla and King Kong is brief but I'm happy with the outcome!!
The second battle which lasts much longer is the best scene of the entire movie with both monsters at it, and for me its better than watching wrestling!! There are many questions that will get to you, such as Kong's Origin, Godzilla disliking electricity (thats weird considering Godzilla is meant to fuse with electricity), Kong being attracted to electricity (even weirder), but these can all be forgiven for, as the film was made back in 1963.
Overall, an excellent Godzilla movie with King Kong.

I was a little disappointed with this disc as there are no extras- just the film, and it's the Americanised dubbed version.However, what you get is an often hilarious romp with the large, badly costumed Kong and the always lovable Godzilla, doing a spot of toe-to-toe wrestling, trashing half of Tokyo as they go.
Th transfer is very good and the ratio is letterbox 1x2.35, not 1x1.78 as it states on the box and at 87 mins good fun.
My 3 year old daughter loved it so much, we're watching it again tonight! Thank her for the review title.

This is the US cut of the film where the stale mate at the end swings King Kong's way. Interpret it how you like however - I don't see King Kong's roar as a victorious roar - more of a defeated whimper (I'm more of a Godzilla fan than a KK fan!).
I was looking forward to seeing how film makers would get over the fact that King Kong is basically a just a huge Gorilla, whereas Godzilla is an atomic monster with radioactive breath. The 'feeding off electricity' was a nice touch to deal with this.
This film is a good yarn, people often say that the King Kong outfit is pretty ropey and pretty poor compared to the stop-motion '30s film. The ropey outfit though actually made the beast MORE scary and added a fantastic eeryness. I started watching this film as a huge Godzilla fan, but I warmed to King Kong too.
This isn't just a stomp around and destroy buildings film - it feels like there is a strong story holding it together.
This is definitely in my list of top 10 Godzilla films, and lets face it, it's not very often you get to see two icons of international cinema togther on one film! Well worth the money.

"I'm sick of Godzilla. I want my own monster! Find me a monster fast!"
By 1962 Godzilla's career had hit the rocks: he hadn't worked since 1955's Godzilla Raids Again had failed to set the box-office on fire, so it was a lucky break when King Kong... Read more
