Much like the original 1954 Godzilla, the original Japanese version of King Kong vs Godzilla was drastically re-edited with new actors and an altered narrative for its American release. The original Japanese film was made as a comedy, satirizing the then-developing Japanese TV industry and the controversies it generated. As explained by the original director Ishirô Honda, "The reason I showed the monster battle through the prism of a ratings war was to depict the reality of the times. When you think of King Kong just plain fighting Godzilla, it is stupid. But how you stage it, the times in which it takes place, that is the thought process of the filmmaker"
