Pharmaceutical tycoon Mr. Tako learns of a powerful berry that resides on the Farou Islands. The berries are gathered by local natives and fed to their island deity, the massive gorilla King Kong! At the same time in Antarctica, Godzilla has been discovered in his icy prison. As Tako decides to bring Kong to the mainland of Tokyo, Godzilla awakens from his slumber and heads to his old stomping grounds. As the two monsters descend onto Tokyo, one thing is for sure, it's gonna be on, baby!

In this corner we have the undisputed champion of American monsters Kong, the 100 foot tall, banana eating, feces throwing mega-primate. In the other corner we have the king of all monsters, the radioactive, atomic fire breathing, scaly spiked-back, tail swinging lizard Godzilla! Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls of all ages and for the millions watching at home LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUUUUMMMMBBBLEEEEE!

Forget plot, acting or effects, this is truly the throw down we have all wanted to see. Although by the tale of the tape alone, Godzilla would wipe the floor with Kong, this Toho based movie gives each monster an equal and fair chance at the title without hurting anybodies feelings.

Godzilla is the classic rubber suit that we know and love, but Kong looks a little different this time around as he has an enlarged snout and his furry coat looks like it may have a spot of mange. Kong's longer than usual snout gives his a sort of mildly retarded look. The fight when it finally happens is down right hilarious as at time the props and costumes seem to bend, bounce and flop at impossible times, and nothing beats Kong trying to shove a tree down Godzilla's throat. For what it is the fight is great and all you can hope for in a Toho film, so sit back and enjoy.

Also, on a side note, there is not two endings to this story. The myth is that there are two endings one with Godzilla winning for Japanese fans and one with Kong the winner for US fans, but in truth the ending is the same.
