Description:
It’s King Kong to the rescue when a giant robot threatens to destroy Tokyo in the gripping King Kong Escapes! The action begins when the conniving Dr. Who builds a robot Kong in order to retrieve a highly radioactive element for his mysterious benefactor, Madame X. When the robot proves less than reliable, the devious duo scheme to kidnap the real Kong from his remote island home of Mondo. But interfering with their plans are the heroic trio of U.S. Cmdr. Carl Nelson, Lt. Jiro Nomura, and Kong’s current crush, Lt. Susan Miller. It’s up to them to outwit the greedy ape-nappers in this sci-fi adventure that takes Kong to unprecedented heights of excitement.

The two mightiest monsters of all time battle in the thrilling adventure classic, King Kong vs. Godzilla. When an underhanded pharmaceutical company goes to a remote tropical island to steal King Kong for advertising purposes, they get more than they bargained for when the gigantic ape attacks an unsuspecting village and an enormous octopus. Meanwhile, far below the sea, a submarine crew unleashes reptilian terror when they melt a block of ice and release the ferocious Godzilla from his icy lair. When both destructive monsters descend on Tokyo, it’s a fight that holds the future of mankind in the balance in this knock-out film that was the first theatrical release to bring its larger-than-life contenders to the big screen in glorious color.

4 out of 5 starsMemories
You just can't go wrong with this 2-pak for the price. Like most people this brings back memories of time when these types of movies were run on the late night horror & sci-fi shows. Great stuff & great fun for anyone into these types of movies.



4 out of 5 starsThe Ultimate King Kong Package
This package is actually complements itself very well. King Kong vs. Godzilla brought back both these giant monster movie legends for a new generation. It was the fight everyone was waiting to happen after Japan made Godzilla in 1954. The sequel, King Kong Escapes has a very interesting plot. It was Japan's way to continue the story from King Kong vs. Godzilla where in the American version King Kong defeats Godzilla. In this movie, King Kong fights against a scientist named Dr. Who. A scientist who creates a giant robot version Kong called Robot Kong. I believe this was the film that inspired the creators of Godzilla to make Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla.



5 out of 5 starsStill Can't Be Topped Even Years Later
King Kong vs. Godzilla--

I remember watching this all the time when I was 4 and 5. My dad was a fan of godzilla and found King Kong vs. Godzilla on VHS at a video store.
We had this video until the tape got ruined!!! And I haven't seen it for 6+ years. But I decided to buy it one day one day, for this classic and historic film. This is probably the best slug fest, ever in Godzilla history. There has been good ones, but this tops everything. It has everything a godzilla movie should have. Godzilla destroying stuff, and the military failing every time, bad dubbing, and a fight at the end, and this nails it.

King Kong Escapes--

Okay, really I just tried to buy King Kong vs. Godzilla, and didn't care for Kong Escapes, because one time it was on Sci-Fi and my dad recorded it, and we still have it today, on tape. And I can't believe the amount of reviews tried to go for King Kong Escapes in this package. I think it was just thrown in their for a bonus, so did my dad. But I still like it, really though, only too see Gorosaurus in action.

I'm a Godzilla fan and I bought this, King Kong is awesome, I just think he's just another monster though (but a better one), I'd say this package is really meant for those Godzilla fans. Since they both are made by Toho, and have the same idea, of monster vs. monster. If you're a godzilla fan, love people in rubber suits fighting, and love hilarious bad dubbing (which I do). This is definetly a must own. It's in my Top 5 Godzilla films, and #1 in Slugfests.



2 out of 5 starsFILM DEBUT OF GORASAURAS! BUT THATS IT FOLKS!
1 STAR GOES TO THE FILM DEBUT OF THE CHARACTER GOROSAUROUS, ONE OF MY FAVORITES WHO NEVER FOUGHT GODZILLA AND SHOULD HAVE! AND 1 STAR FOR THE DECENT PRICE OF THIS SET. OTHERWISE KING KONG SUCKS AND SO DOES THE FACT THAT THE MAKERS OF KING KONG ESCAPES NAMED THE BAD GUY DOCTOR WHO! HOW DARE YOU! A ROCK THROUGH YOUR WINDOW SIR! UNFORTUNATELY KING KONG VS GODZILLA IS ALSO THE 2ND WORSE GODZILLA FILM OF ALL TIME. IT WAS THE WORST UNTILL GODZILLA VS MEGAGUIRUS, BUT THATS FOR A DIFFERENT REVIEW. I WOULD SUGGEST RENTING NOT BUYING THOUGH AS THE MAGNIFICANT GOROSARAUS IS ONLY IN A FEW MINUTES OF KING KONG ESCAPES.
