I was a 6 years old Japanese kindergartener when I watched "King Kong vs Godzilla" with my mother and younger brother at a local movie theater in 1962. Though sixty years has passed since then and I`m a 66 years old pensioner, I remember this bout between Godzilla and King Kong very vividly as if it was yeasterday.
@@cracstheidiot6913 In addition to King Kong vs Godzilla, I watched Mothra vs. Godzilla ,Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, Invasion of Astro-Monster, Ebirah Horror of the Deep,Son of Godzilla and Destroy All Monsters at a local movie theater in 1960`s when I was a primary school pupil. There were good old days in my life.
@@Baragonboi the problem with the jaapanese version is that universal owns the rights to distribute KKvG in the west, so you have to get the video master from toho, and the distribution rights from universal
He didn't. Or to be more accurate the fight simply stops and back in 1962 no one cared about such things like "fight record" it wasn't until some 20 years later when we someone from the crew commented on the ending and called it a draw.
Imagine if the new GvK started out with the 1962 GvK battle and then slowly faded to the new one , that would have been a cool love letter to the showa fans
I watched the 1962 King Kong vs Godzilla when i was a kid in the 90s. I was like wtf is this comical fight and was left disappointed. I definitely loved the new Godzilla vs Kong because it fulfilled my childhood dream of an epic fight. However, despite my disappointment with the 1962 film, I have to give TOHO credit because we would not have gotten the 2021 film without this 1962 film.
Man I'd hate to be a homeowner in Japan in the 60's. With giant monsters destroying property on a regular basis, insurance rates must've been through the roof.
I remember how in the American version the guy with the camera said as he and his colleagues were watching that first battle said 'It's like fighting a flamethrower'.
Even though King Kong won, him and Godzilla falling into the sea and King Kong swimming home was not really a thrilling way for Kong to win. Like Mothra he could have defeated Godzilla in a much thrilling way then that!
I had the dubbed version on VHS when I was little kid and looking at this makes me realize how much I couldn't see because that version wasn't in widescreen. There are so many shots here where Godzilla and Kong are onscreen at the same time whereas in the exact same scene on the VHS you can only see one of them because 45% of the damn screen is cut off. It's also weird not hearing The Creature From The Black Lagoon music since I watched that version a couple hundred times.
To this day I still love this movie! So funny now, but when I was little it was scary lol. Now the new movie is even better, but I still like them both

I saw this movie with my dad on dvd on 2017 and I’m 11 years old now and my dream is to work for TOHO Studios but they don’t do this anymore 🥲
Did the movies look real for you at that time
@@MasterfulLycan I was too young to discern between fantasy and reality. So Godzilla looked so real at that time.

This is much better than 2021 kong vs godzilla
Worst take I have ever heard.
@@Brandon-k9u Its a joke bro
no it's not
Yeah
SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK IM CRAZY BUT I LIKE 1962 BETTER
U r crzy
ur not crazy and ur not alone with this opinion
Same I love old movies but they don’t do these anymore and my dream is to work for TOHO Studios😢
Same tbh 😊
I like this one too because it looks like theyre fighting in a boxing ring when they were doing those poses at the start
Finally! Someone Who Doesn’t Use The US Version and Only The Original 1962 Japanese Version!
Don't blame those people. Blame the ones who decided to make the US version, and the ones who made the original so expensive to buy on DVD
Oh, and I forgot the ones who made the Japanese version so obscure to find naturally

Seriously missed opportunity that they didn’t recreate that in Godzilla vs Kong
@@tombruncker7013 they did, but with Kong's axe
This is one of the funniest and most entertaining things I've seen in my entire life 😂😂😂

This is still pretty good for it being 62 years old

this has to be the funniest fight scene ever
It's cool ..even for the times.

One of the most realistic and epic fight scene of all times.

@@adigod8627 2-1
@@adigod8627 nope it was after the fight re-watch
Godzilla is the all-time winner, and it is settled. I said what I said...!
@aallen1999 noticed how her said king kong not kong so king kong solos🗣🔥🔥🔥
I love how kong falls by his own throwing of rock
It looks like that's what happened, but it was Godzilla swiping his tail at Kong's feet. Recheck it. 5:30
I love Godzilla stuff, I even have Godzilla toys!
Props to the guys who made these suits, they are robust
I've watched This film for a quite a while, and i actually like this toho film.
4:25 - That actually wasn't in the script, Kong's actor simply got so offended that he kicked the rock at Godzilla rather than picking it up.
WHAT A CLASSIC!!! This is what living for A Movie for a Sunday Afternoon was all about in the early 70s!!!
Godzilla awesome
A TH-cam channel that makes healthbars very accurate! AMAZING!
Thanks
@@CaseyAlhambra why did king kongs health bar dissapear when they fell into sea
@@shadowman8535 cuz godzilla slammed his butt into the ocean. Just look again how they enter the water.
@@Vixor17 but godzilla is the one who died/got knocked out, not kong, you can see kong swiming away, also TOHO confirmed how kong won
@@shadowman8535 they said he won, not how. This sounds half assed and likely to please american viewers. But we can agree to disagree.
Godzilla doing his dance 0:50
Lol😂😂
This could be my most favorite video
Bringing back good old memories
Это была комедия)))
This is an S-tier movie. There is no doubt
Sadly the new director who is a Godzilla fan didn’t add this scene
Which scene

The best fight🎉 ever
La pelea del siglo👽🤖 😎🤜
this king kong is the strongest
Outstanding! This is MY Godzilla! You can keep all the modern ones.
I've watched this whenever it was on TV in the 1970s and here I am watching it again in 2023, lol. Thanks for posting.
I wish there was a gimmick Godzilla 62 toy where you press a button or lever and it does the clap.
I love that godzilla dance and kong
Ima big fan of Godzilla 2019 2014 2021
Godzilla's moveset is amazing!
Kong is smarter, but godzilla is stronger.
I don’t think this Kong is all that smart
The budget on this move must have been Immense!
Wow🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
A mi me gustan mas las películas antiguas de godzilla 😮.
Godzilla is beautifull❤
Soichi Hirose and Haruo Nakajima is the most best actors of King Kong and Godzilla! Thank you for uploading this!
I used to see this movie when I was 2 years old😢😢😢
2:48 I hope Harou Nakajima had health insurance, because that’s gonna hurt.
How did King Kong win if Godzilla can live and breathe underwater?
He didn't. Or to be more accurate the fight simply stops and back in 1962 no one cared about such things like "fight record" it wasn't until some 20 years later when we someone from the crew commented on the ending and called it a draw.

He walked on the surface calmly knowing zilla was dead or ran away or was knocked out cold
HE ZAPPED GODZILLA TO DEATH!
@@HieMan-g1n King Kong won, toho confirmed it, plus considering kong had electric powers, he probably electrocuted godzilla in water

0:33 king cecer And Kong have the same roars
Cecer
This fight will always be hilarious to me
Tho is one of my fav Godzilla incarnation he the first Godzilla to hav colour and a other movie was made based on this one
Which was gvk
They will meet each other on 2021 the king
10:10 they are so angry they destroy a building
The last one is so funny
Old kong is so funny 😂😂😂😂😂
And godzilla is so cute when he claps
Godzilla is not cute, he's just cool but the clapping is cute tho
We are witnessing the very beginning of the Godzilla monster battles!
The only difference is Godzilla,hates electricity. Kong gains strength from it.
8:29
King Kong: Eat your vegetables!
Godzilla: *choking in pain*
the goofiest fight ever and the best
The puppets were the best part of the movie.

They look like toys 6:39
6:33 i get it was 1962 but what was that kick editing
That would be Stop-Motion. A technique used for many films during that time period.
@RealSwagZilla oh I know what stop motion is it just didn't really look like it that's why I said it
The movie that got me to love Godzilla as a child.
Godzilla “RUN UP RUN UP!”
Kong “NAH HOW BOUT YOU COME DOWN HERE!” 0:41
Yes i really enjoyed this movie alot.
The flying kick was personal💀 6:39
the actor was mad so he kicked not in script btw
a kingkong with always smile😁😁
I really think this movie is so funny to watch even though it is short, it makes me laugh every time 😂
This fight is better than the 2021 they copy the old fight
4:36 godzill and kong hugging
this is a nice video i love it.

Fun fact.
This was the first time both Kong and Godzilla were seen in color.
Kong was first in color in the King Kong novelization
I like it
「ゴジラの消息」が永遠に不明・謎、が面白い。
When I was a kid I used to like this movie although I was scared of King Kong
So Crazy this two,But is so Funny and Good,I Like this!!!
Rumours say that after recording the man in the suit of king kong didn't rose from the water
I remember being 5 watching this movie I am 11 now but 5 year old me said woah! Who filmed this!!!
I love it❤
The original King Kong vs Godzilla is superior to GvK
If it was taken to the ocean Godzilla would've had the advantage
You now I like goofy fights like this😂
That godzilla lookin goofy
@@GtagPeanutVr well Kong is pretty ugly too
I like Godzilla
I'm same age with you. Had same experience. It's a very important memory for me. Because now all my family gone.
To this day I still love this movie! So funny now, but when I was little it was scary lol. Now the new movie is even better, but I still like them both
I like 2021 better
Showa Era is golden👑
This one is way better than the newer one because they didn't change the monster sizes in this one
Kong was originally way smaller
1962 is better then 2021
It’s not then it’s than. Okay?
