Review of King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) by John H — 02 Mar 2009

There are two versions of this film: The original Japanese version with subtitles and an American dubbed version of the Japanese one. The original is far better than the American re-edit. The Amercian version edits out many scenes and replaces them with a newsreader giving an update on the plot.

For anyone who enjoys these kind of hokum films, where grown men wear monster suits and use wrestling moves on each other, the Amercian version really sucks whereas the Japanese version is good fun.
