Godzilla vs. Kong
The first and only timeGodzilla and King Konghave fought was over 50 years ago , but a rematch was planned in the 1990s - though theGodzillamovie never made it past the preparation degree . If it had bechance , Godzilla vs. Kongwould have been the third metre that the two monsters had run across on - CRT screen or else of the 2d .
Their first meeting happened in 1962 when Toho releasedKing Kong vs. Godzilla , a film that pitted their own behemoth against the American pop culture icon , King Kong . Throughout the flick , Godzilla and King Kong battled three time , with Godzilla holding the reward over the giant gorilla for the majority of the motion picture . The tide turned whenKong ’s electrical powersput Godzilla on the defensive attitude . The film apparently ended in a stalemate , but it was by and by confirmed by Toho that Kong was the picture show ’s on-key winner .

year later , 1989’sGodzilla vs. Biollanteunderwhelmed at the box office , so Toho felt the motivation to maximize net for the next installment in the dealership . It was decide that the best way to do that would be to produce a remake of the 1962 classic , which was a huge success for Toho . Not much is known about what was intended for the story , but supposedly , King Kong would have become attracted to a female scientist whose principal object was to transform him into a cyborg . Unfortunately , theGodzilla vs. King Kongmovie break to materialize in the 1990s .
To make the plastic film happen , Toho had to sour out a deal with Turner Entertainment , who at the time prevail the rights to King Kong . Unfortunately , the money Turner want for King Kong was believe too high , so Toho change their design . Since Kong was no longer an option , Toho wait to Mechani - Kong or else . Mechani - Kong was basically King Kong ’s very ownMechagodzilla(except Mechani - Kong came first ) . The robotic gorilla fought Kong in the 1967 Toho moving-picture show , King Kong Escapes . Turner stood in the fashion of this thought as well , by claiming that Mechani - Kong was too like to Kong himself . Since neither plan worked out , the photographic film was scrapped .
The 1990s was an interesting period for Godzilla , as this was when Toho hadstopped adjudicate to make Godzilla into a heroic figure . The ' 90s Godzilla was a more violent , mean version of the definitive kaiju , which would have allowed for a darker , less camp variation ofKing Kong vs. Godzilla . There ’s no telling how the moving picture would have bend out , but three decades after the rematch fell through , Godzilla and King Kong will finally meet again inGodzilla vs. Kong . At that point , it will have been 58 days since Godzilla and Kong have trade blows .
