Development: After the sucsess of King Kong in 1933 Willis O'Brien wrote a treatment for a sequel called King Kong vs. Frankenstein. the film was going to have King Kong fight a monster created by the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein. Unfortunately a man by the name of John Beck stole the treatment and had George Worthing Yates flesh out into a screenplay called King Kong vs. Prometheus. However John beck wasn't able to sell the screenplay to anyone in America so he sold it to Toho Studios, they replaced Frankenstein/Prometheus with their own monster Godzilla and so King Kong vs. Godzilla was created.
Plot: King Kong does battle with a monster created by the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein in San Francisco.
Opinion: I think that this would have been a very interesting movie to see. I would have liked to see why the Frankenstein's grandson made the monster and what he was going to use it for. There are a couple problems i've noticed in the film, the first one is how is King Kong still alive? was he broght back to life by Frankenstein's grandson or is it another one of his species? The other problem is where did Frankenstein's grandson get the parts to make the new monster? Besides those flaws I would have liked to have seen this movie, it's a shame that John Beck stole it for his own use.
Rating: 4/5
