Lost Project Discussion: Cont: King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963)

[Tohosaurus]

What do you guys think? The 1962 film was pretty conclusive and left little need to revisit a Godzilla-King Kong for the very next film. But that's just my take on it.

The first movie was conclusive enough. I doubt it could've surpassed the first movie, let alone been on par with it.

I don't know... it would be cool to see a rematch, as long as it's not the 70's and 80's kong. That would be a strange one.

If it was more serious, like everyone wants it to be, I don't think I would enjoy it as much. The original was a classic because of the campiness and the big duel between the monsters.

Glad it wasn't made.

I wouldn't have minded seeing a rematch between the two Monster Kings. Although then we wouldn't have gotten King Kong Escapes. But it does surprise me a wee bit that a rematch didn't occur sooner in the Showa Era seeing the Round One was perhaps the most successful flick.

According to the article on the main site, I understand it would've been a 60s (1963 or 1964) sequel to the original KKvG, not a 70s or 80s movie.

Well there was a supposely planned heisei KKvsG where Godzilla kills Kong but never went through.

I feel Continuation may not have been well liked because Kong would have most likely won again. At least with the first film Kong winning makes a lot of sense and it has the magic of being the one time to two met but if Continuation came out I think the Godzilla fans would not have let it live up to expectations.

I doubt that would be the consensus in 1963.

In 1963 I'm sure it would have been a hit. I could see fans like were discussing now say they don't like the felt because it was a rehash and Godzilla lost twice. I would have loved for this movie to come out.
