Actually, both of their sizes are wrong, at least absolutely. He's got them both about twice as tall as they ought to be. However, their relative sizes to each other seem close enough. So, if Godzilla vs. King Kong made them the same size, then, yes, they were quite wrong.

(Actually, King Kong was intentionally shown at two different sizes in the original movie: 18 ft. and 24 ft. When I say he should be about half the size he is on that chart, it would put him just slightly under the average of the two.)

What was your first clue?
Was it King Kong being able to withstand Godzillia's atomic breath or his being able to manipulate electricity?
Not a good movie.

Y'know, I thought you were a lot better at picking up on sarcasm, Jason....

I am, but that horrid movie really grates on my nerves: I hate stupid monkey movies. [Razz]

What about Congo? Or that movie with the airplane-flying monkeys?

Why are all the Drazi ships on that page backwards?

Fortunately I skipped Congo and never saw anything with monkeys flying a plane.

I even skip those awful "Planet of the Apes" movies.

But they're funny. Mocking Charlton Heston alone is worth it.

I've never sat through that either.
Sat 2010 though. It was okay. Sorta.

I believe he meant the "remake" of Planet of the Apes which was made in the year 2001. Not the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I saw the first Planet of the Apes on TV when I was a kid: it didint make a lot of sense then and even less now.
It sucked. Charlton Heston is pretty funny in it though: he acts real constipated throughout the whole movie.

See? a "Heston" smiley.
