|} Godzilla vs. Mechani-Kong (ゴジラ対メカニコング Gojira tai Mekanikongu)[1] is an unmade 1991-1992 Godzilla film.
History
As Toho continued searching for the right film to follow Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, they considered two primary concepts. One featured a team of humans being injected inside Godzilla while he battled Mechani-Kong, while the other featured Godzilla battling an evil version of Mothra called Gigamoth. Toho had already scrapped two projects based on the first concept, Micro Super Battle: Godzilla vs. Gigamoth and Godzilla's Counterattack, before considering a third, simply titled Godzilla vs. Mechani-Kong. The idea went through one more revision, titled Micro-Universe in Godzilla, before being scrapped entirely and replaced by Godzilla vs. Gigamoth, which ultimately became Godzilla vs. Mothra.[1]
Plot
In order to defend Japan from Godzilla, the J.S.D.F. constructs Mechani-Kong, a giant robot gorilla designed to destroy Godzilla. The giant mech is launched into battle against Godzilla, utilizing its injectors to send a team of humans inside him. While the humans battle Godzilla from the inside, Mechani-Kong battles him from the outside.[1][2]
Trivia
