Get ready to return to Skull Island with familiar faces and similar stop motion animation done on a dime. This week Kaiju vs. History dives into what will soon be a hallmark of kaiju cinema in rushing a sequel to the screens to capitalize on ticket sales. This week we are diving into 1933’s “Son of Kong”.
This RKO picture was done with a slashed budget and came out nine months after the smash hit of “King Kong”. We immediately pick up the story from the first film, but then the plot becomes dropped. We meander along with Cal Denham as the movie casts off in search of a plot.
We meet a new leading lady and a orphan albino giant ape and are in for a short and sweet adventure that (spoilers) also ends senselessly in death and destruction! Welcome to Giant Monster Cinema and this week’s KvH!
