Ohhhhhh no...there goes Tokyo, go go Godzilla! He gets my vote, by the way. There's also Zappa's King Kong to consider, though. Going on the music, KK would win, but on the actual creatures, Godzilla won. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

Only if you feel that making King King several hundred feet taller and giving him electric powers is fair. ------------- Time always wins. |

The question is not "who would win in a fight" it's "which monster is better?" Obviously Godzilla is more powerful, but King Kong has personality. Plus he's a monkey and monkeys rule. -------------

[QUOTE=Atavachron]Godzilla's my man but frankly Kong would kick his ass /QUOTE] Srsly? Godzilla stomps through buildings like they're a house of cards. He shrugs off a small sized army while Kong gets taken down by a few measly dog fighters. They're not even in the same league. Anyhow, Godzilla is cooler but King Kong is a better movie.

Kong's just a big hairy ape whereas Godzilla is actually a monster. Just for fun here's Godzilla fighting a kitty. Time has not been good for Godzilla, Godzilla shrink up big time.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

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. |

The first King Kong film was great as was the Peter Jackson version. All the rest were pants though. The Japanese Godzilla films are great fun though and more SFy. I'm one of the few fans of the Matthew Broderick Godzilla too.....love it. So Godzilla wins in that scenario. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

If you're a good boy, I will telle you about the Son of Kong, directed in 1933 by Ernest B.Schoedsak... And my vote goes to King Kong, as the original movie generated less goofy sequels than the saga of Godzilla. If anyone has ever seen the son of Godzilla, you know which horrors I'm talking about... |

surprised they haven't made a movie of this.. but then again we'd know the way it would end Godzilla would smoke King Kong... King Kong would have the upper hand in the climatic final fight in the mean streets of Tokyo when Godzilla breaks out the secret weapon.. he'd drag out some blond bimbo out of a subway car and King Kong would go all emo and Godzilla would bury him.. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Unfortunately, I had a big argument with a former friend of me who wanted me to write some reviews of various Godzilla movies a few years ago. So, my opinion about everything Godzillean is biased. I vaguely remember having watched, terrified, 3 or 4 sequels which were lame and ugly but I don't remember which ones - and I won't phone this former friend to ask him the references (plus, I suspect him to have taken his VHS to the garbage can). |

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.

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 |

| I VOTED KING KONG BECAUSE OF HIS RAGE FACTOR. OOPS SORRY FOR CAPS! actually i really believe the the outcome would be depending on the envviroment. if its an open enviroment godzilla would win because of his radioactive breathing attack but if it were in a city ir mountain ect, donkey kong oops i mean king kong would win because of his agility and rage. they both are awsome though! |

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). ------------- Time always wins. |

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.
