KING KONG VS GODZILLA *

One of the great bad movies, a Japanese-American co-production which was released in the West in an atrociously dubbed version which only makes the already bad acting seem even worse but then nobody goes to a movie entitled "King Kong vs. Godzilla" to see the humans. Yes, in 1962 Toho Pictures gave us not one but two monsters for the price of one as well as the mother of all battles and some really dinky toy tanks and trains. Of course, it's gob-smackingly awful and the racial stereotyping is appalling but once the two big guys get together you're prepared to overlook almost anything. Very small kids will love it.
