Godzilla vs. King Kong (1962)

Godzilla vs King Kong! Wow, how big was this?! Two of the most famous monsters ever going head to head. The east vs the west, WWII rematch, America vs Japan. When Godzilla arrives, he's a bad guy, blasting the hell out of everything and just being an overall monster. When the army figures out for the 3rd time in a row that they can't do jack to a giant monster, they call in King Kong to even the odds. Now realistically, I mean for a monster movie, if original Kong were to fight Godzilla, it wouldn't be much of a fight. Godzilla was between 160 to 300 feet tall. Kong was 25 feet tall. Plus Godzilla could breathe fire. What's even weirder is, according to Cinnemassacre, Godzilla was originally supposed to be Frankenstein. And that Godzilla replaced him simply for marquis value. I guess that must've sucked for the German fans out there, knowing that their monster was scrapped. As for the fight, Kong gets his teeth kicked at first by Godzilla, but no matter how many times Kong gets put down, he just keeps getting up. He's the underdog, no doubt about it, and the fire definately poses a threat. That is until Kong gets lucky and gets struck by lightning, making some sort of power surge within him. Another sign that reminds more of Frankenstein. Godzilla and Kong really start fighting now and this time it's an equal brawl. Kong throws rocks and stuffs a tree up his butt. Nah, he  only stuck it down his throat. Then they fight like two Sesame Street characters. It's freaking hilarious. The winner is one of those up to you to decide and the only way to do that is to check it out for yourself.
