I suppose it was inevitable that Toho Studio's would get their hands on the King Kong character and have him face off against their monster Godzilla. Sure enough somebody got stuffed into a monkey suit and squared off against the guy stuffed into the Godzilla suit
This is not a very good film but it is a rather entertaining one. As usual if you are a lover of toys and little miniatures, Toho studios exceeds at creating this stuff. It's almost too bad that the monsters have to stomp around and destroy these beautifully detailed models. It really was a different time in the world of special effects.
The film was directed as usual by Ishiro Honda a good Toho company man apparently.
This version of King Kong Vs Godzilla has additional scenes added on by some American producer who bought the rights to this film. These scenes mostly consist of some actor pretending to be a news anchor and rehashing scenes from the movie. They are kind of unnecessary and interrupt the flow of the film.
97 minutes, written by Shinichi Sekizawa.
