A real hellraiser


"Who will stop Godzilla?" someone shouts, then we get a perspective shot of Godzilla turning around to see a giant gorilla foot stomp down in the foreground. Godzilla does a double take and steps back as a vicious guitar riff twangs into the score. Our camera pans out and around to reveal King Kong, who is in fact wielding a gigantic electric guitar and is the source of the now revealed to be diagetic music.

I don't get Kong or Godzilla for that matter.

They started out pretty thematically different in their original films so they were always going to be a difficult pair to match up. 1933 Kong was a throwback to a prehistoric age of giant animals that ruled the earth but was suddenly transposed into a modern city, he was always supposed to be nearly plausible. They'd found a whole bunch of giant dinosaur bones and giant prehistoric mammal bones so why not a giant ape which was as big as a dinosaur?

Godzilla 1954 was a metaphor for atomic weapons, it was almost incomprehensible in its destructive power and its indiscriminate carnage. It's a nightmare beyond anything anyone has ever encountered. You couldn't out think it, you couldn't overpower it, you could barely outrun it if you had sufficient warning it was coming. Regular human weapons had no effect on it (unlike Kong) and the only thing that could beat it was an even worse scientific weapon which might have ended up being even deadlier to humanity than Godzilla if the inventor hadn't taken extreme measures to ensure it never fell into the wrong hands.

Toho had them face off against each other in 1962 but they took a leaf out of FishBulb's book and went "Eh, Kong is super super big now. He just is, we're not going to explain it" and got on with it. Legendary Pictures are trying to make the characters more 'grounded' so they're apparently going to try and ease us into the idea of a land based omnivore that weighs more than a blue whale.

Maybe Kong shouldn't be anywhere near as big as Godzilla and he can climb up on Godzilla to beat on him. It's not like Godzilla has useful arms, Kong could just get up on the back of Godzilla's head and wail on it. He'd just have to watch out for the tail.

It'll be a shot for shot remake of the T-Rex/Raptor vs I-Rex fight from Jurassic World. Kong is the raptor, Godzilla is the T-Rex and Space Godzilla is the I-Rex.

Yeah we're getting Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019 and Warner Bros announced in May last year that we'd get Godzilla vs. Kong in 2020.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters will apparently be directed by Michael Dougherty (director on Krampus, writer on X-Men: Apocalypse and Superman Returns) and written by Max Borenstein, Michael Dougherty and Zach Shields. They haven't announced any names or plot details for Godzilla vs. Kong yet.

Ones a giant lizard the others a giant monkey so there's two options either a fight to the death or a fight to a stalemate so they can become bros in time for the next movie.

Actually can we just get a remake of Rocky with Kong being Rocky and Godzilla bring Apollo?

They'll have to join forces to beat a giant werewolf at which point it is revealed that you are actually watching an adaptation of arcade classic Rampage. The movie ends with the three of them demolishing skyscrapers in New York.

The Evil Within is a movie that took 15 years to make, was bankrolled by Andrew Getty, an oil company heir, who spent all those years working on it on and off and then died of a meth overdose in 2015. Getty did almost all of the effects work himself. It's now on Amazon for $5.

Talk about your blandly written movies. I can't even get through Apocalypse, it's such a snooze.

edit: lol at Kong showing some fundamentals with the "ground and pound" against Godzilla, he's obviously into brazilian ji-jutsu.

Am I wrong that the 70s De Laurentiis King Kong is unsettling in a horror movie fashion, and the fact that they somehow shot NYC at night as though nobody lives there just adds to it?

It's still a terrible movie and the whole WTC ending is boring and gory in a way that's not fun at all.

I'm pretty sure that was King Kong Lives in '86 with Linda Hamilton where Mr. Kong had heart surgery and Ms. Kong was introduced.

I saw that as a kid and the only thing I could remember was Kong eating some dude, then picking the little red hat out of his teeth.
