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.

[@natek4488]

And they say that giant monsters aren't scientifically accurate

[@captainfry245]

The simpsons told me radiation is green, and the simpsons are N E V E R wrong

[@AstronautLemur]

Thanks for that fact! I'll know how to explain godzilla being a scientific accurate recreation of a atomic bomb.

[@Mandrak789]

Except that the Cherenkov radiation occurs only in transparent materials, such as air or water.

[@patrickshinaltar7751]

@@Mandrak789 there are cracks in every godzilla design such as the white edge in all japanese godzilla dorsal plates and the legendary godzilla has cracked patterns so when godzilla is charging the atomic breath in japanese films the blue usually appears at the edge of the dorsal plate while legendary godzillas plates have a wavy pattern glow so mayve those parts are more transparent than the rest of Godzilla so that's why it glows...

[@Daikaiju-dc5mt]

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.

[@SudrianTales]

Fuji and King Kong is victorious.

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.

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.

Honestly I'd enjoy any review of something that you have passion for. Does help if it has animation or puppetry but this still doesnt mean you must limit yourself! And it doesnt need be dark and depressing at least exclusively either. Its enjoyable as a theme but that hardly disqualifies you as a channel if you random deviate from the usual. EDIT: also wanted to add? this was among your funniest reviews yet so far

[@TheJtyork420]

The "I belive I can fly" music cracked me up. That was a good one props.

The return of the king

[@natek4488]

Which king?

[@AstronautLemur]

@@natek4488 King Kong and Godzilla: King of The Monsters, probably both...

Steve, you forgot the biggest advantage of King Kong monke

[@raptordaptor476]

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

[@chrisbarone515]

I actually have a better ending where you actually get to see a clear shot of Godzilla swimming away in the distance instead of Kong. Making Godzilla the CLEAR WINNER.

[@zillydino]

Can't get enough of that intro, my man(I friggin love Godzilla)!👍🏻👏🏻

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

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.

[@accomplishedbelt7hollowsno21]

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

[@LowellLucasJr.]

I'm a simple man who loves Godzilla and his reviews! Please make more!

[@Jgaldragon]

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!"

Yeet the monkee!!

[@joaodala549]

I always tought that tbh. "No way I am fighting this guy underwater"

[@servelgioarias5200]

Yeah thats what I thought.

[@justjuiceplz]

Which is why in the Japanese version Godzilla can be heard roaring. Saying "You better run."

[@Nathanielthe]

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

[@StarWarsHour]

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.

[@andrewmanchiraju8005]

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.

[@tyrannozillasauronsproduct5072]

Due godzilla and Kong are not pokemon

[@andrewmanchiraju8005]

@@tyrannozillasauronsproduct5072 Thus my head cannon of them being Pokémon works for me, although in all seriousness the reason why King Kong has such a weird strength in this movie is because the movie was originally supposed to be about Frankenstein and in those movies he was created with lightning so him gaining power from electricity would’ve made sense, but sometime down the line the movie became about Godzilla v King Kong so we have a bizarre strength of King Kong so that he can feasibly fight Godzilla.

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

[@kayokango]

I'm not surprised that you couldn't find high quality footage of the English version of King Kong vs. Godzilla. Toho is being run by a bunch of egotistical assholes nowadays who feel that only the original versions of their films should be viewed. As such, it's been getting harder and harder to find the iconic English dubbed versions of all those old Godzilla movies that we all grew up with. VHS and DVD copies of the dubbed versions are slowly becoming sought after collectors items. It's fucking stupid that the versions of these films that we've known since childhood are being fazed out. Watching something that's subbed, trying to watch AND read something at the same time. It's so dumb.

[@tsubasasupremo]

i love the use of donkey kong country music in the background XD 15:20 this is epically absurd and funny XD

[@thatnatureguy4231]

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

[@lynchreacher117]

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”

[@Psyclonus7]

17:29 Kong never won. Toho's marketing on it has always been "Who do YOU think will win?" and stating that it was a draw. Even in the original script which has been reprinted multiple time, no winner was ever declared. If you're going by who rose out of the water as a victor, then King Ghidorah won at the end of Invasion of Astro Monster because Rodan and Godzilla never come out of the water.
