Would anybody like to see Toho have another crack at King Kong vs Godzilla? I know its not only logically impossible given that to be a fair fight they'd have to upscale Kong and give him a significant advantage to be able to compete with the big G (just like what they did in the original 62 film); but they've both come such a long way and its doubtful Toho could ever re-claim the rights to use Kong's image again.

Just think though, it could be a really entertaining match up. The original is still enjoyable, but with a bigger budget and obviously a SPX upgrade, it could be one of the most epic duels in history.

There is no way it could ever be a 'serious film' but hell maybe the most expensive 'B-Movie ever made?'

I would love to see a remake as I'm not a huge fan of the 1962 version.



I'm still waiting for Godzilla vs. Gamera... dream come true!

I'd like to see Robot Kong vs. MechaGodzilla as well. That would be BAD A$$!

I Love King Kong and Godzilla, but I believe KKvsG to be a so-so movie. I'd rather see Godzilla vs Gamera.

MechaGodzilla would roast Robot Kong in 20 seconds, wouldn't be much of a fight.

Uh, should I point out that king kong was like 40-60' tall, at most, and godzilla was like 250-300' tall, according to the original movie that cited his height at at least 80 meters?

No?

Ok, forget it then...

You don't know the facts so I'm tipping you haven't seen the original King Kong vs Godzilla? It was produced by Toho in 1962 and in order for it to be a competive contest they made Kong roughly the same size as Godzilla (although the version of the big G in this movie was slightly smaller and weaker compared to the original bigger and stronger 1954 version.)

So a remake would obviously replicate that logic to make it a fair fight.

@Robocop, Not a problem, actually I'm a crazed MechaGodzilla fan. Smile

IMO, the 1975 (MG2/Katsura) model is much more superior then 70's Godzilla.

I don't know about this fight though, tough to call. MechaGodzilla (Kiryu/Azusa) vs. FinalWars Godzilla.

If done by Toho, I'd love to see it (Kong vs. Godzilla II). Kind of doubt rights will ever allow it though.

I still want to see Kronos vs. Godzilla myself....

I wonder what the Japanese would use to create a modernized vision between the two monster icons. Surely if they had a decent sized budget to work with they'd go with CGI instead of the traditional man-in-suit method they've been using for all Godzilla flicks (yes, even the most recent ones.)

How about PreGodzilla 1944 vs. King Kong 1976. I wanna see THAT!

Both Monsters are about the same size... although I think Kong may have the advantage...



For those that don't know, that's Godzilla before the Bikini H-Bomb test. Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991).

Thoughts?
