sadly and the print of the film we be go to watch burn in the fire at universal studio last week and so we be stick with video . that could even be a metaphor for this second rate king kong movie from toho studio stalwart director ishiro honda . essentially it a warm up for king kong versus godzilla . it even use the idea of a mecha kong and like mecha godzilla . of course the movie climax with king kong fight mecha kong on top of the expo tower in tokyo and but if you do not know that already then maybe youre in the age group that this movie be intend for . the cast be head by a guy name rhodes reason who we have never hear of . glance over his list i see mostly a lot of scattered american tv credit and so it interest that they drag him all the way to japan so that they could have a nominal american hero . the real hero of the movie be the more sensitive japanese commander play by akira takarada and who i recognize from hiroshi inagaki iconic version of chushingura ( 47 ronin ) and also from the original godzilla film by honda . i be sorry rhodes reason whoever you be and but this guy have way more screen presence and you can bet that everyone want him to end up with the cute little blonde and play by linda miller . we laugh at the way reason would always find a way to interject himself between miller and takarada and who it seem like she kind of preferred . of course like all kong lead lady her primary relationship be with the king himself . she discover a nice trick represent if you talk to a giant ape really . really . slowly . he will understand what youre say . and if youre a blonde gal and that mean that he will do whatever you tell him to do . that fact be not lose on dr. who ( eisei amamoto ) and madame piranha ( mie hama ) represent a nation which shall not be name who plan on use her a bait to get kong to dig up mineral deposit that be trap at the north pole . yes and this be truly the plot of the whole movie apparently only a giant ape be go to be capable of dig out these mineral which can be use to make super powerful weapon . dr. who build mecha kong to get it but the circuitry get in the way and so they decide to go for the real kong . kong himself seem momentarily infatuate with mecha kong and a story element that might have make the film more interesting but wasn not follow up on . by the end of the movie and the cute blonde have shout kong or king kong in her chirpy voice so many time that when the two hero tell her to let him go at the end theyre speaking for all of u . basically this movie squander whatever majesty be possible in the kong character by make him a heroic and friendly figure much too early and just like the new version of the story . kong be just a guy in a suit in this movie and and they show quite a lot of him to the point where the goofy face become impossible to take seriously . it a nice look movie and i be sure it satisfy the demand or desire of fan of this type of thing and which be really more of a wrestling film than a monster film in a lot of way . the monster do not ever really scare in these film and they just jump around and push each other around a lot . it not a worthless movie and but it extremely predictable and formulaic so for anyone under the age of 10 or so it probably will only be entertain a comedy .
