King Kong Escapes

King Kong Escapes is a 1967 film in which King Kong is brought in by an evil ruler to dig for precious gems in a mine when the robot MechaKong is unable to do the task. This leads to the machine and the real Kong engaging in a tremendous battle that threatens to level Japan.

Directed by Ishirō Honda. Written by Takeshi Kimura.

Mondo Islander: Wong Kong! Wong Kong!

Commander Carl Nelson: Wong... That means King. The natives call him King Kong. He said we're trespassing on Kong's home.

Lieutenant Susan Watson: You mean he actually exists?

Commander Carl Nelson: We'll soon find out.

Lieutenant Susan Watson: Kong! Kong! King Kong!

Lt. Commander Jiro Nomura: Don't call.

Commander Carl Nelson: Yeah, let him go.

Lieutenant Susan Watson: But he's going.

Commander Carl Nelson: He's going home. I think he's had enough of what we call civilization.
