I would really LOVE to see Toho make some more Frankenstein & King Kong movies, or even re-makes of their Frankenstein Conquers the World/King Kong Escapes/Godzilla VS King Kong .. I'm sure they would make the Creatures look very interesting now a days..

Anybody?? :wave:

Not sure how Toho feels about Frankenstein but Toho would love to do Kong again. Although King Kong vs. Godzilla is one of their sillier pictures it was also one of their highest grossing. The problem with Kong is Toho doesn't want to pay Universal for the rights to use Kong. They were going to do Godzilla vs. Mecha-Kong a few years ago. Figuring they could get around licensing fees by using a metal gorilla. Universal said NO! They considered even a mechanical version of Kong a copyright infringement. With Universal preparing to release a new Kong next year I'm sure they're even tighter with copyright protection.

Thats too bad, cause it would have been great for Toho to do another Kong. Wonder if they would have kept the same look as Kong was in King Kong Escapes & or Godzilla VS King Kong Or maybe even cooler looking like they made Godzilla look No a days??

mmm?? Godzilla vs Frankenstein or King Kong vs Frankenstein .. :thumbsup:

Maybe one day??

You make an excellent point here. The new Godzilla stuff is fantastic & I really like the new Mothra series too. But Toho could be doing so much more.

Meanwhile Tsuburaya is cranking out Ultraman stuff faster that you can say Science Patrol.

How 'bout a new Johnny Sokko & His Flying Robot ?!?!
