When kaiju movies go horribly wrong!
A*P*E from 1976. A South Korean-US co-production “King Kong” rip-off that was made to cash it on the 1976 remake of King Kong.
Also known as “Super King Kong”, “Hideous Mutant”, “The Great Counterattack of King Kong”, “King Kong Returns” and “Attack of the Giant Horny Gorilla”.
So bad it is hilarious!
Blue Oyster Cult - “Godzilla”
With all the Pacific Rim kaiju love going on, I can’t believe this isn’t a top 40 hit again!
A tribute to the KING!
Lyrics:
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream, bug-eyed, as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh, no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla
History shows again and again how nature points up the folly of man
Godzilla!
Best. Godzilla. Art. Ever.
This is a page from the manga story, “Godzilla: Monster Warrior,” by mangaka/suit actor/Godzilla fan Hurricane Ryuu (Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah, Den-Ace, etc.), in the doujinshi anthology collection, The Godzilla Comic (1990). Imagine Bandai’s Tamashii Nations making a figure out of this guy! :)
I… I actually really want to read this! Anthropomorphic Godzilla by way of John Norman, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Frank Frazzeta! That’s pretty damn cool!
