I VOTED KING KONG BECAUSE OF HIS RAGE FACTOR.

Actually, this is more about your monster preference. King Kong is 50 feet tall and possesses no powers while Godzilla is right around 300 feet tall with atomic breath. There really is no contest in a fight unless you want to claim the Japanese version is the King Kong, which I doubt anyone wants to do (much like actual Godzilla fans will refuse to acknowledge an American version was ever made).
Oh, come on. Zilla isn't THAT bad. I mean yeah, he's puny as hell compared to Godzilla (exemplified by their brief encounter in Final Wars), but I actually . . . kinda like . . . his design . . .
*braces self*
that may have been tolerable as a monster film if they hadn't used the Godzilla name
I'm talking more about the look of the creature in the film rather than the movie itself.
Anyway, Legendary Pictures are supposed to be making a 'real' Godzilla movie aimed at Americans in the next couple of years with more participation from the Japanese writers. We'll see what they come up with, I guess.

Isn't the Planet of the Apes remade nightly on FoxNews?
my god, no wonder I have deja vu when I watch Fox
I liked the ideas in the Broderick Godzilla but it just wasn't that great a movie, but I do dig the fast, lizard-like monster in that version-- I'm a fan of the original movie series but the Heisei era of films are also very good [late 80s to early 90s], as Godzilla vs. Destroyer

KING of the Monsters
Also, I would like the American version to be stricken from the records
Then you can't call him King of the monsters, singe the US version is the only version that ever called him that in the title.
They had to add Raymond Burr in it to sell it to American audiences. He wasn't in the original version.
Well, they didn't have to, but they did choose to. It had already been broadcast in very select venues in its original form, but I guess they felt the general US audience wouldn't accept the film without a white guy as the star.
''Gojira'' is a classic, plain and simple. Much darker and with more focus on the humans' suffering than the US edit, in my opinion.
