Trivialidades:

Special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya deliberately gave King Kong a semi-comical personality, because he did not want Kong to frighten young children, and wanted the general audience to root for Kong over the more frightening Godzilla.

Errores:

Errores que Revelan: The puppet head used for the closeups of Kong does not look much like the head on the Kong suit, especially the eyes. You can see Kong's eyes, pupil and white part, in the close up shots, but only plastic reflecting studio lights on the head of the Kong suit.

Citas:

Furue: My corns always hurt when they're near a monster.

Catch the Japanese Language version!

Most of us saw the English language version of KING KONG VS. GODZILLA, which discarded alot of fun bits found only in the original Japanese language version of this near classic. In it's original Japanese, this is a fun movie about these rather boob-ish guys who work for a Tokyo advertising firm going to a desolate island. They encounter music loving natives who worship none other than King Kong. At the same time, Godzilla re-appears on the scene, threatening to destroy Tokyo. The film is made with wild energy, and goes with wild logic (how can you not love the scene where King Kong is knocked out with bongo music?!) Proof that director Inoshira Honda loved his audience and wanted to make them happy.
