Kingu Kongu tai Gojira (1962)

Trivia

Kingu Kongu tai Gojira

Editar
To promote the film, Toho released "interviews" with King Kong and Godzilla in which the monsters acted like sumo wrestlers preparing for their bout against each other.

In this promotion Godzilla was quoted as saying: "seven years has passed since I rose from the bottom of the southern seas and raved about in Japan, leaving destruction behind wherever I crawled. It is most gratifying for me to have the privilege of seeing you again after breaking through an iceberg in the arctic ocean where I was buried. At the thought of my engagement with King Kong from America I feel my blood boil and flesh dance. I am now applying myself to vigorous training day and night to capture the world monster-championship from King Kong."

In response King Kong said "I may be the stranger to the younger people here, but have quite a number of fighting adventures to my credit. I will fight to the last ditch in the forthcoming encounter with Mr. Godzilla, for my title is at stake... Hearing that the world-renowned special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya is to act as referee I am going to return to the screen in high spirits."
Director Ishirô Honda wasn't enthusiastic about King Kong fighting Godzilla, calling it a stupid idea. Toho pushed for it, mandating the monsters be made "as funny as possible", an approach screenwriter Shin'ichi Sekizawa and special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya embraced. While Honda initially disagreed, he and Sekizawa decided to incorporate a satirical element about television and corporate advertising into the script, stating, "Mr. Sekizawa satirized social conditions well. That was his specialty". On the film, Honda stated, "The reason I showed the monster battle through the prism of a ratings war was to depict the reality of the times" elaborating that, "People were making a big deal out of ratings, but my own view of TV shows was that they did not take the viewer seriously, that they took the audience for granted, so I decided to show that through my movie."
This film was released outside of Japan in a heavily reedited version, King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963). Producer John Beck had Tom Montgomery direct new scenes with American actors in a news report subplot that was never in the original film. Editor Peter Zinner changed the narrative structure and replaced much of the original soundtrack with stock music. Universal has never released the original Japanese version and because of this it was the last Godzilla film to have its original Japanese version be made available in the United Sates. It was included in the 2019 Criterion release of Godzilla: The Showa Era films. However, it was included in the supplements and not on the main disc, which includes the heavily re-edited American version. It's speculated that it's inclusion was a last minute decision which is why it was placed in the supplements.
Tsuburaya embraced the comedic tone Toho wanted for the film and made a conscious effort to appeal to children's sensibilities. However, many of Tsuburaya's staff and crew-members were frustrated with some of his decisions. Assistant effects director Sadamasa Arikawa, recalled that he thought Tsuburaya went overboard and mentioned how the staff was in disbelief at some of the silly stunts Tsuburaya had Kong do.
There were four live octopi used, as well as a prop and stop motion model. Tsuburaya's crew had gone to a beach near Tokyo to shoot the live sequences by constructing a miniature set of the shack on a small platform. They had fishermen provide octopus and the crew would spend several days trying to get the right shots, since the octopi were none to cooperative. Hot air was blown on them to get them to move, and after the filming of the scene was finished, most of them were released although legend has it that Eiji Tsuburaya had one for dinner.
