Kong vs Mechagodzilla

Wiki Article

Apex another working title for Godzilla vs. Kong, is an American science fiction monster picture set for release in 2021, after Legendary Pictures' Godzilla: King of Monsters in 2019 and serving as a prequel to both King of the Monsters and Kong: Skull Island.

In addition to being directed by Adam Wingard, the picture is produced by Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, Eric McLeod, and Brian Rogers, with the script written by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein, based on a story by Terry Rossio, Michael Dougherty, and Zach Shields. The film is now in production. King of the Monsters was written by Borenstein, Dougherty, and Shields as well. Godzilla vs. Kong is set five years after the events of King of the Monsters, and it follows Godzilla and Kong as they engage in a massive fight in the aftermath of Ghidorah's wrath.

With the destiny of the planet at stake, "Godzilla vs. Kong" brings together two legendary enemies. A treacherous trip leads Kong and his guards to Jia, a little orphaned girl with whom Kong has built an unbreakable connection of love and loyalty. In the path of an infuriated Godzilla, they find themselves. It is simply the start of the enigma that lurks deep below the Earth's core.

Following the assault, the public has turned against Godzilla, who is no longer seen as humanity's savior. Madison Russell, now an adult and a regular listener to Bernie's podcast, is concerned when she hears about Godzilla's latest assault on her school. She attempts unsuccessfully after school to reason with her widowed father Mark (who is serving as Monarch's director) about a potential lead on the source of Godzilla's rampage, but he ignores all she says, saying merely that beasts, like humans, may evolve. Madison later enlists the aid of her closest friend Josh Valentine to track down the person responsible for Godzilla's rampage and uncover Apex's mysteries.

In order to go to the energy source, Nathan advises using Kong as a guide since Skull Island can no longer contain him (because Kong has grown too large). In the end, Nathan is able to convince Ilene to help stop Godzilla's rampage and find a new home for Kong.

On a modified boat, Maia's Apex squad, lead by Walter's daughter, Ilene, Jia, and a mildly drugged Kong are chained up. Jia soothes Kong down by enabling her and Kong to hold fingers in solidarity while Kong signs the word "home" much to Ilene's astonishment. A few days later, Ilene tells Nathan about her experience raising Jia as an adopted daughter after a series of devastating storms killed everyone else in Iwi, including Jia's parents. Jia was the only one to survive, thanks to the protection of Kong, and they soon formed an unbreakable bond because of it.

In that location, the three disembark and find themselves inside a vast dark chamber, where they come across Apex's ultimate weapon, "Mechagodzilla" a mechanized counterpart of Godzilla controlled by Dr. Ishiro Serizawa's son, Walter's chief technology officer Ren Serizawa, who is also Walter's chief technology officer. As soon as Mechagodzilla is launched, Walter releases a gigantic adult Skullcrawler designated "Number 10" into the chamber in order to put the mecha's might against the Titans to the ultimate test. Madison, Josh, and Bernie are on the brink of being attacked by the Skullcrawler when it is captured and detained by Mechagodzilla, who uses a tremendous red energy beam to slice the Skullcrawler in two, enabling Madison, Josh, and Bernie to take refuge in a tiny hatch. However, because to the restrictions of the power source, the test is cut short when the mecha shuts down immediately after the conclusion of the exam.

Kong and Nathan's group discover a similar ecology to Skull Island within the Hollow Earth. They are ambushed by a pair of Warbats while traversing the area, with one of the HEAVs being destroyed by one of them. Kong saved the party by killing the first Warbat and swinging its carcass into the second, knocking it out, but the beast recovers and constricts around him. Before the Warbat can smother Kong, it is hit by missiles fired by Nathan's squad in their HEAV, allowing Kong to escape and viciously thrash the monster to death before gorging on its intestines.

It's a good thing Godzilla doesn't have the ability to fly. When Maia and her crew attempt to leave their HEAV, Kong pulls it from under their feet and crushes it in his hand, killing Maia and her crew within.

Kong accepts Godzilla's challenge and begins to go to Hong Kong with his axe, while Ilene, Nathan, and Jia follow in their HEAV. Kong re-confronts Godzilla in Hong Kong, this time getting the upper hand, shoving his axe down Godzilla's throat to stop him from launching his atomic breath. Kong uses his axe to hurt Godzilla in the thigh, but Godzilla removes the axe and tosses it away. Kong recovers his axe and brings it down on Godzilla, causing an explosion that pushes both Titans back, giving Nathan the impression Kong had won the second round.

Godzilla searches for Kong, who hides from the Titan by perching atop a tower. To distract Godzilla, Kong ambushes him from above and places him in a chokehold, intending to strangle him. But Godzilla breaks free and unleashes his full fury on Kong, dislocating his left arm, slashing him with his claws and even stomping on his chest twice. Godzilla roars viciously at his beaten opponent, Kong, who is held down and restrained.

Godzilla is so taken aback by Kong's power and expertise that he spares his life before walking away, leaving him alive but seriously injured in the process.

Walter instructs Ren to send out Mechagodzilla to slay Godzilla back at the Apex headquarters. Despite Ren's warnings not to use the new Hollow Earth energy source without first testing it, Walter dismisses Ren's pleas and tells him to activate the mecha. At the same time, security apprehends Bernie, Madison, and Josh for penetrating Apex headquarters and transports them to Walter. Madison blames Walter of inciting Godzilla to war and caused all of this to begin with, yet he boldly responds that he took responsibility for allowing humans to fight back against Godzilla and the Titans.

An energy beam fired at Godzilla by Mechagodzilla is deflected away by Kong, saving his life. After Godzilla learns that Kong saved his life and that he is not an enemy, he aids Kong in his fight against Mechagodzilla's armies.

Working together, the two Titans turn the tide, but the robot proves to be stronger than their combined might and overpowers them. Seeing his axe among the wreckage after losing it during his earlier battle against Godzilla, Kong reclaims it and lands several blows on Mechagodzilla, but his weapon, having lost its charge, is ineffective against the robot, who attempts to fatally impale Kong with its tail drill. All seems lost for Kong and Godzilla while Bernie, realizing there is nothing he and the others can do, pulls out a flask of liquor, suggesting that they all have a drink. However, Josh, suddenly having an idea, snatches the flask out of Bernie's hand and short-circuits Mechagodzilla's controls by pouring the contents of the drink all over the control panel, making Mechagodzilla momentarily stall and giving Godzilla and Kong the opportunity to recover and regain the upper hand.

Mechagodzilla's head is cut off by Kong after Godzilla uses his atomic breath to boost the power of Kong's axe. Kong then holds aloft his prize as he rests.

Godzilla Analysis from Youtube

Godzilla and King Kong haven't starred in a film together since 1962's King Kong vs. Godzilla.

It's Terry Rossio's first Godzilla picture since he wrote the unproduced script for the 1994 feature that never got filmed.

Aside from Peter Jackson's 2005 King Kong film, Kyle Chandler has starred in two more films starring King Kong.

Because to Chandler's roles in King Kong, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong, he has the distinction of being the only person to appear in a King Kong picture, a Godzilla film, and a Godzilla-Godzilla crossover film.

The film has several references to Neon Genesis Evangelion:

The sequence when Kong hops from ship-to-ship is comparable to a scenario where Eva Unit-02 jumps from ship-to-ship attempting to dodge an angel, much like Godzilla.

A pyramid on top of a pyramid-like structure is reminiscent of the Central Dogma, where Mechagodzilla has been stationed.
