Who here is TEAM GODZILLA!?

*The final battle in Godzilla vs. Kong 1962 in a nutshell:* This is about two drunk guys fighting at the parking lot after the costume party.

Fun fact: Godzilla's blue color is actually based on real science. They even name it in this movie. Cherenkov radiation. When particles are so supercharged with energy that they move faster than light through a medium (Nothing can go faster than light in a vacuum. Mediums are fair game.) they produce an creepy blue glow. In fact most nuclear reactors glow with this same brilliant blue light.

21:49 "King kong is a thinking animal" Proceeds to give himself a concussion

Human: “Kong is a thinking animal. His brain is considerably larger...” Kong: *Knocks himself out, by combat rolling (for no reason) into a rock*

Fun fact: With over 12,550,000 tickets sold, this remains the highest attended Godzilla film in Japan. It also remains as one of the most attended films in the history of the Japanese box office and ranks 13th overall in terms of all time box-office admissions.

For the ending I think once both monsters fell into the water Kong went "F- this I"m done' and moved to the surface to swim home. Meanwhile Godzilla is flipping him off underwater saying 'You better run. This is my territory!"

I am glad that you acknowledged how the film was intended essentially as a satirical comedy. Since the American version removed a lot of the satire and replaced it with reporting scenes so dry they make the Atacama desert jealous, I think a lot of people have a harder time giving into the goofy nature. In fact, watching the Japanese version where before Godzilla and Kong even meet they are fighting for media coverage with people even betting on them despite the damage, comparing that to the sheer amount of similar things in crossover battles today is freaking hilarious. That also goes for comparing it to the rest of the Godzilla series. Only 3 movies in and the big Dinosaur was already parodying himself, which only shows that there was a method to their madness. It's almost like Toho was just like "Yeah, our nuclear allegory Dinosaur is now having a pro wrestling match with a giant alcoholic Monkey with a shock fetish and it's gonna end up being the highest grossing Godzilla movie ever what do you expect?". Does make it kinda ironic you chose to watch the English dub cuz it was funnier when in this case I would say it's the opposite for this movie.

My canon for King Kong VS Godzilla: After they fell into the ocean, Godzilla and Kong hugged it out and they both left in the end

Comedy will never surpass kong shoving a tree down godzilla's throat

"I would rather entertain people and hope they learned something, than teach them a lesson and hope they were entertained." - Walt Disney I think this quote is what most movies should aspire to be.

In the Japanese cut, the characters are fully aware of Godzilla’s existence and even mention that there’s a in-universe movie about Godzilla.

The shot of Kong doing a combat roll and faceplanting into a boulder will always make me smile.

Godzilla and King Kong wrestling in bodysuits is just as good fifty years ago as it'll probably be in a week

They honored the tree scene in the new movie. My life is complete.

For the sake of my sanity, I'm just gonna assume that the moment they plunged into the sea, they had an offscreen epiphany and subsequent discussion abt the stupidity of the events that transpired between them and decided to come to a truce and just go home. Godzilla then swam off to his underwater abode and Kong surfaced to swim back to his island.

If Kong doesn't shove a tree down Godzilla's throat in Godzilla vs Kong I'm giving the movie a 0/10

Kong floating down to Godzilla on a bunch of balloons: HIYA, GOJI!

The Godzilla franchise is beautiful Change my mind

The Zilla cartoon definitely deserves coverage. The creators managed to make a fine purse out of Roland Emmerich's ear.

Picturing a tiny King Kong slowly take down Godzilla is giving me Shadow of the Colossus flashbacks.

If they don't include the scene of Kong shoving the tree down Godzilla's throat in the new one, I'm gonna riot.

This oddly enough used to be one of my favorite Godzilla movies growing up. I'd rent this every other weekend from Blockbuster and the trick to avoiding my disappointment towards the ending was to turn it off before Kong broke out of the water so my little baby brain could say "Nope. Godzilla won!"

Fun fact: The Japanese castle seen in this movie is seen in both King of the Monsters 1 and 2, usually yielding either points or a power up "P" when destroyed.

Godzilla: a giant dinosaur with radioactive breath, pretty much immune to anything humans can throw at him and is literally the physical embodiment of a nuclear disaster Kong: *MONKE* so yea its ggs

Steve Reviews: "I freakin love Godzilla." Me: 🎶Oh no, they say he's got to go, Go Go Godzilla!!! Oh no, there goes Tokyo, Go Go Godzilla!!!🎶

Steve: "Do let me know if you like me to..." Me for the Godzilla stuff: Yes!

I just saw the new one today, the fights were awesome. I saw it in an Imax theater, I had to buy my ticket online to reserve a seat, since they're letting very few people in.

“I friggin love Godzilla.” Amen brother

Godzilla's Kid: Dad says I should fight my own battles instead of learning communication with humans.

*”GoDziLla sAyS i ShOulD LeArN To FigHt mY owN bAttLes yA KnOw!”*

Oooh, Kong is chicken! Kong: Who said that?! Everyone looks around nonchalantly.

Me: "Mom, can we see Godzilla vs. Kong?" Mom: "We have Godzilla vs. Kong at home." Godzilla vs. Kong at home:

Ah, Monke vs Zilla I’d be interested in a Godzilla mockumentary that shrinks down the kaiju, especially if they were still able to make Godzilla and the kaiju badass. Also I heard the cartoon based off the 1998 film is better than the film itself.

Kong did and does always have one advantage over Godzilla: he is M O N K E

The differences between the movies are: Soundtrack with Akira Ifukube's being amazing while the US version used random tracks that dont fit Voices: obviously the dubbing Roars: as Steve said, Godzilla's roar in the end was cut out in the US version Scenes: Filler scenes with 2 Scientists talking to the audiences about how much better king kong is (sarcasm so nobody sends me death threats)

Nah man, that wasn’t Kong winning. That was him cutting and running when he had the chance!

Shin Godzilla is amazing. It's a classic People vs Godzilla scenario, but he changes and evolves in ways to protect against the human's attacks. It's interesting to see how they come up with ways to combat him every time he comes back in a new form. Oh also the fire-laser scene was really damn cool. It was also written by Hideaki Anno, the man who made Neon Genesis Evangelion.

YES! More Tokusatsu reviews in general. There is a TON of dark material within Tokusatsu that can work for your show. From some of the shows, all the way to the underground Tokusatsu films from the 90s I say go for it!

Me not paying attention to the screen but hearing the use of Octopi: “9:30 Octopus is a Greek word and you only add the I on the end of its Latin. Octopuses is the correct form of plural.” Me after finding out he corrected himself: “Excuse me while I Curb my grammar Nazi”

7:05 Let's not forget there's also Rodan,Varan and Mothra during 7 years of Godzilla hibernation

It's ironic that Kong looked better while soaked. 11:40

Funnily enough, not only was Kong more popular than Godzilla during this time, but so were Mothra and Rodan. The only reason why Toho went ahead with continuing with Godzilla sequels instead of more films featuring Kong, Mothra, or Rodan in the lead roles is simply because Godzilla was the cheapest one to bring to life as he didn't require rights negotiations with Universal nor did he require extensive wire work to bring him to life or to allow for flying sequences.

And here is another thing that no one knew that the Outfit for Kong on king kong vs godzilla was also seen during the Monster series of Ultra Q (Ultraman monster data series) where the king kong costume was used for a Monkey Kaiju named Goro who's costume is the same as the king kong outfit but they did a little redesign for the suit of the face and gave it a long tail like a actual monkey who in the episode of the series is friends with a Human who is named "Goroh" and was just a friendly monkey kaiju that was just misunderstood when it accidentally destroyed buildings and scared people away.

We all haven't watched this, yet, but we all know this Video is gonna be good. The first time I'm so early that only 1 Minute has passed

Your alternate ending for the movie is now canon

8:25 Another fun fact: There's a 1994 unmade Godzilla film where the script described how Godzilla was released from a huge block of ice, before the movie was scrapped and we have the 1998 film. And I can see why 2014 Godzilla had to remove that idea, and instead have him originate from deep in the ocean, just like the original 1954 film.

Saw this as a kid in the 70's. All the boys in the class were arguing who will win. The teacher and the girls just rolled their eyes. The movie was on a Saturday and on Monday half of us boys were CELEBRATING.....lol

Shin godzilla next plz Fun fact: I dunno the reason but japanese always associates mammals or fur to electrical powers. If you pay attention to video games or animes you will notice. Maybe it has to be something mythological from japan.

Is that Donkey Kong Country music in the background??? SOLD!

15:37 Ladies and Gentleman, Godzilla!!!!! Really nobody in the comments did this at this marked time? The 90's were the best!

The 1998 Godzilla cartoon is unironically some of the best Godzilla content of all time which is all the more amazing given what it’s based on

Yes yes yes I would LOVE to see more Godzilla reviews!! I'm so glad someone is willing to give the older movies more of a spotlight if there's enough demand for it! Vs. Destoryah would be a great fit for the channel!

They beat each other up then team up and fight mothrah and Rodan BOOM! 🤯

0:05 “I freakin love Godzilla” Me: same

Fun Fact: Future Bond Girls: Akiko Wakabayashi and Mie Hama (who played "Aki" and "Kissy Suzuki" in the 1967 film *"You Only Live Twice")* starred in *"KING KONG vs GODZILLA"* (1962). Akiko later appeared as "Princess Mas Dorina Salno" in *"THREE GIANT MONSTERS: Earth's Greatest Battle"* aka *"GHIDORAH, The Three-Headed Monster"* (1964) and Mie later appeared as "Madame Piranha" in *"KING KONG'S COUNTERATTACK"* aka *"KING KONG ESCAPES"* (1967).

Godzilla is my all-time favorite series and I adore the ones from the first half of the 60s especially. This one was one of the first I saw and I love it. The soundtrack from the original Japanese version is unironically great!

I remember watching the 1970’s animated Godzilla as a child. Good times.

We NEED that shin Godzilla review

Loved Godzilla since I first saw him as a little kid and seeing him roam on the big screens today is just insane! GO GO GODZILLA! It would be awesome to see more Godzilla stuff on your channel even tho it's focused more on the dark animated stuff. A little fun here and there with the nuclear lizard wouldn't be a bad idea.

This was the first ever Godzilla film I saw as a child. I'd heard of Godzilla, I was big into Jurassic Park and movie monsters so as a 4-5 year old I was all into it, but it wasn't easy to find any of the films or generally anything Godzilla-related in the UK, all I had for a long time was a vinyl GMK Godzilla figure that I got on a trip to America. I got this film for Christmas a few years later and I'll never forget the scene when he breaks out of the ice, it was like a right of passage getting to finally see him wreak havoc on film. A few years later the Guardian newspaper included a free copy of the original 1954 film which I still have, and I remember it gave me nightmares with how dark it was. Whenever I've gone on trips to America I've always tried to get as many Godzilla films as I can find, even if I could only watch them on a computer due to the disk regions being different in the UK. So what I guess I'm saying is I relate a lot to you as a UK Godzilla fan, although I couldn't get enough of this film as a kid.

Headcanon: Kong was actually retreating from Godzilla since he knew he didn't stand a chance while they were underwater, and Godzilla swam away as well in a different direction, we just didn't see it because he's always swimming underwater.

Let’s not forget that the old Godzilla, gave us classic moves such as the infamous flying jump kick, ghidorah being suffocated by a ring of smoke, and, of course, Godzilla using his atomic breathe to fly

15:20 I'm conflicted... On the one hand, you've forever ruined what is probably my favorite scene from The Lion King... But on the other hand, that *was* a pretty damn funny bit, lol XD

The return of the king

Oh yeah the octopus not only likes the sauce but luckily there is no Japanese teenage girls with schoolgirl uniforms on around.🐙🐙🐙🐙

4:46 this is exactly how i pictured kong vs godzila

Steve, you forgot the biggest advantage of King Kong monke

King Kong being gaining power from Electricity actually makes perfect sense for it is clear that he is actually a giant Zeraora, while Godzilla is a water type thus it makes perfect sense that he would be weak to electric Pokémon.

How interesting that this review comes out after Big Action Bill's video... Eh, I'm just joshing ya, you're cool. Seeing you talk about Goji is great.

It's only just now that I realized you featured my comment in your video. THNX!

I am amused at the idea of your Dad fighting a giant octopus each day of the week before passing out

Fun fact They were gonna be two sequels to this movie. Continuation: King Kong vs Godzilla 1963 and Godzilla vs King Kong 1991 plus a sequel to it Called Godzilla vs Mechani Kong

The pronunciation of Hokkaido by dub actors has always drove me nuts. The Japanese newscaster in the dub says it right... it almost seems like he's mad no one else is.

I’ve been having a Godzilla marathon and it’s wonderful

Oh Steve, your videos bring me so much joy. Particularly Kong being lifted away via balloons.

18:57: ...because godzilaldidnt die. swim towards kong and ate him. the end.

There were actually 2 other Japanese King Kong movies in the 30s. Sadly they don’t exist anymore because all remaining prints were in Hiroshima.

Yes, we would LOVE more godzilla stuff from you

I remember hunting for this DVD a long time back finally found it in a Warehouse music store, I miss not having the internet

If your a fan, could you review the Heisei Gamera trilogy? Gamera: Guardian of the Universe Gamera 2: Advent of Legion Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris

Do a review of godzilla vs the smog monster or talk about the weird godzilla movies that were canceled in production

17:07 Fun fact during this scene the actor who was playing godzilla hit his head in one of the rocks knocking him out but don't worry he end up waking up shortly afterwards Ps maybe the directors took this for a reason why godzilla loses

I’d love to have more Godzilla reviews! Keep ‘em coming!

This wasn't what I was expecting But I'm pleased nonetheless

I really enjoyed the original. But, man, the new one did a good job. It even has quite a few easter eggs and call backs. I love it so much.

As I was watching this, a Coca-Cola ad popped up featuring a dinosaur. Pretty funny

Seeing you review another Godzilla movie really made my day. I would definitely love to see you do more.

Oh man I watched this movie so many time growing up. So cheesy, but so awesome. Hope that island song will remain with you as long as it has me. Godzilla ftw

Idk where to suggest stuff for you to watch but I think you'd enjoy Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal. It's dark but kinda deep and made by the creator of Samurai Jack, so the art style/animation is cool af

Your music choices through this whole video is AMAZING, oh my gosh! 😆

I love how a guy in the submarine said abandoned ship😂

I love Kaiju movies also I remember watching late at night when I was a kid Fritz the Nite Owl🦉🦉🦉. Anybody from Columbus Ohio knows what I'm talkin about. But I would have to say this Kaiju King Kong suit is one of the worst monster suit I've ever seen this movie as well as King Kong Escapes. King Kong looks like he's cross-eyed for the majority of the time in both of these movies.

Shin Godzilla should be interesting. So would Evangelion btw

Watching this review, brought back so many memories I didn’t know I had. I completely forgot I had watched this movie as a kid!

Dude please keep doing godzilla stuff. I'm a huge collector/fan of all that is Godzilla. So videos like these I enjoy so much. Keep rocking it buddy.

3:40 I hear Donkey Kong Country music in the background.

this movie got me and my dad fucking dying of laughter, one of the best movie experiences ive had tbh

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!

The "Alte Kamaraden Marsch" playing in the background is too good
