The Japanese businessman for example that thinks he owns Kong is a buffoon. The originals played upon the threat Godzilla posed to Japan and the horrors that ensued.
KING KONG VS MOVIE
The movie was a departure from the first two Godzilla movies. There he awakens, escapes and comes into battle with Godzilla.
First a giant octopus shows up, and eventually they find Kong who they drug and take back to Japan.
On the other hand, a Japanese businessman wants his own monster and funds an expedition to a remote island in search of one. The story revolves around a submarine reviving Godzilla who immediately attacks Japan. The movie itself actually started with an American writer Willis O’Brien who gave the idea to John Beck who eventually sold it to Toho Studios. This however is the American version of the film, which was re-edited and added an American TV news caster Eric Carter played by Michael Keith who worked for the United Nations as the narrator. King Kong vs Godzilla was the third in the franchise, directed by Ishiro Honda who did the original Godzilla film along with several others plus other Japanese kaiju releases such as Rodan, Mothra, and War of the Gargantuas.
The movie is still good after all of these years. Godzilla was a mainstay on weekend TV when I was growing up, so when they had one of the films in an actual movie theater I couldn’t pass it up. I actually saw King Kong vs Godzilla as a Sunday matinee double feature when I was a kid.
