Granddaddy of all Kaiju
King Kong
The Eight Wonder of the World! All Kaiju can be traced back to this legend. Merian C. Cooper’s masterpiece. When I saw this, I was hooked. Other people credit this movie as their inspiration including Steve Spielberg , George Lucas and of course, Peter Jackson. Willis Obrien’s stop motion photography is unmatched. Putting this in perspective, it came out during the height of the depression, 1933. RKO spent $672,000 to make it and it grossed $5,300,000 at the box office. Such a masterpiece!
Japan enters the fray....
Japanese King Kong
Our goal is to represent each Kaiju in their order of appearance.Wasei Kingu Kongu directed by Torajiió Saitó, is a 1933 short film. The film was produced by Shochiku Studios who released the original King Kong for RKO in Japan. Sadly, this is one of two Japanese King Kong films lost during the firebombings and nuclear blast of Hiroshima. Still, in the scheme of Kaiju it is the second film.
The King's Heir
Son Of Kong
This is the third movie in our Kaiju series and may be unknown as well. This is the 1933 RKO follow up to the blockbuster movie "King Kong". Produced and Directed by Ernest B. Scheodsack, this film premiered in December of 1933. Robert Armstrong is back as Carl Denham and Frank Reicher as Capt. Englehorn. Both men are desperate to leave New York City due to numerous lawsuits resulting from Kong's rampage. While working their way across the sea, they travel to a dutch port where they will end up with another damsel in distress Helen Mack. Through a series of events, they all find themselves back on Kong island. The natives are obviously not happy to see them. Many new creatures are seen on the island including, you guessed it, Baby Kong. Screenwriter Ruth Rose chose a movie that is much more whimsical and it also shows Denham trying to atone for his mistakes based on greed. I happen to enjoy this film very much. The film had a budget of $269,000. It grossed $616,000 at the box office.
The Rhedosaurus Strikes
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
