King Kong vs Godzilla Stop Motion Tribute
http://youtu.be/q0WOOavn6j4In 1962 Toho Company, in conjunction with Universal Pictures, released what remains the king of all giant monster movies - King Kong vs Godzilla. When two of the most iconic monsters in all of cinema went head to head it defined what would become an entire sub genre of monster movies - the monster fight or kaiju battle film. In our modern age of strict copyright and unimaginative formality it's hard to imagine the significance of a crossover like this - this was bigger than Frankenstein vs The Wolf Man or Freddy vs Jason. In King Kong vs Godzilla two legendary icons of cinema from two separate studios in two different countries came together for the most colossal conflict the screen has ever known..still!
Fun super nerd fact: I posted the video yesterday, June 17th 2012, which was the 49th anniversary of the release of the movie in America to the day.
