About this event

Fun is at the top of the agenda in this delightful kaiju spectacle, featuring King Kong, Gorosaurus and a villain named Dr. Who. Can Kong emerge triumphant? Following the runaway success of King Kong vs. Godzilla , Ishirō Honda took the reins once again on another Kong vehicle, one of the most colourful and delightful kaiju movies from the 1960s. The wicked Dr. Who (no, not that one) creates a robot Mechani-Kong to do his bidding. He kidnaps the real King Kong, leading to a wild climax atop Tokyo Tower, as Kong battles Kong. The film took inspiration from an American animated series rather than its own Toho predecessor, King Kong vs. Godzilla . It bursts with colour from its opening moments, and boasts a memorable villain, grand monster battles and a thrilling finale.
