Re: Ray harryhausen hated godzilla?
I think that's a false equivalence. AFAIK Gene Roddenberry never claimed Star Wars was a ripoff of Star Trek, and he would have been wrong if he had. Harryhausen had a more legitimate beef with the Godzilla films.

Well look at it like this, Tsubaraya looked to Kong every step of the way while in production, who's to say it wasn't meant to be a ripoff, keep in mind Gojira wasn't a passion project, it was a replacement film.

And Kong in many ways was one too via it being a heavily modifed version of Creation.Orichalcum wrote:Well look at it like this, Tsubaraya looked to Kong every step of the way while in production, who's to say it wasn't meant to be a ripoff, keep in mind Gojira wasn't a passion project, it was a replacement film.

In any case, here's the story. Back in 1931, RKO was making a movie named Creation. Only 20 minutes of movie was made before on the RKO big shots more or less ordered it to be reworked into King Kong.

I think he's saying it's kind of irrelevant to the conversation and definitely isn't an equivalent; O'Brien headed up effects on Creation, and when that fell through he headed up effects on King Kong.Rhedosaurus wrote: I can't tell if you're confused or being sacastic.

I thought you were saying he was inspired by the Bible which I didn't get the connection to in context
