30th ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE MOVIE

KING KONG VS. GODZILLA

Everyone, the Earth is alive.

As it spins at speeds over 1,670 kilometers an hour,

we pay little attention to it.

But at any moment, its rotation could come to a halt,

and we would be in severe distress.

How would we be able to survive?

Excuse me...

This is a scene that you would expect from a comic book.

But, after four million years,

there is still much about the Earth that we don't know.

Should we be concerned about it?!

WONDERFUL WORLD SERIES

Until recently,

it was thought that we came from a combination of amino acids.

This caused life to form at the beginning of time.

But, why did it begin this way?

Please focus on the picture over there...

It's settled...

Hey, you!

Yes! It's 58,600 yen, give or take five yen.

I don't need that! Who asked for it anyhow?

Obashi!

Not now, boss... I'm still finishing lunch.

Keep that up and that won't be all that's finished!

Tell me...

you've been working for me at Pacific Pharmaceuticals for some time now...

Why did we contribute money to a TV science show?

Ah! The Wonderful World Series?

What's so wonderful about this program... huh?

Look at this...

this series draws only 5% of viewers. This book is more interesting!

That's the point!

Alright?

What were you hoping for with this show?

This advertising staff works by my rules!

Do you understand?

Then apologize to the...

Excuse me... the phone...

Hello? Hello!

What's the matter with you?

Yes? This is the advertising department.

What? Apologize?!

Give you an apology?

Who are you!

What?!

B... B... Boss!

How dare you speak like that to me!

Your advertising staff exists because of me!

- Do you understand?! - Of course...

Presently in the northern seas, the nuclear sub, Seahawk...

is performing an extensive study...

on an unusual phenomenon occurring in that area.

Strength and stamina! Get them both back with Pashin!

A fountain of youth! Pashin!

Enjoy this harbor of strength from Pacific Pharmaceutical's Pashin!

Hey Sakurai, what are you doing?

Say something!

Give me a break! They asked me to play the drums.

While you were running around, I helped them out.

They were in a pinch.

A pinch? Will they be in any other pinches?

They might...

I'm sure you could sway their opinion.

I'm not that impressive...

Pacific Pharmaceuticals wants to do something...

to dramatically increase the ratings of their science series.

Hold on. What are you driving at?

Look. We have a meeting tomorrow with Mr. Tako.

Don't involve me in your fantasy!

One of their doctors found an island south of here.

It needs to be explored...

We can do it!

That's not the point.

We won't know until we try!

Wait a minute, what about...

- Okay. Just come with me! - Hold on a moment!

I discovered these berries..

On a plant gathering expedition in the southern islands.

I didn't have time to collect many plants,

because that side of the island is protected by some kind of animal.

The natives consider it to be some kind of god...

Professor..

Will you tell us where you have conducted your studies?

Huh? Oh...

Before I came home,

I stopped at Bogenville Isle along the Solomon Islands.

This island is about 100 kilometers south of it.

Its name is Faro Island.

That is the island where I found the plants and the beast.

Oh, that's a strange story!

You mean there's a creature living somewhere south...

It sounds pretty weird to me.

I believe it is possible for a large monster to live in that area.

A large monster? He must be joking!

Will we use large monsters to advertise?

It's not wrong... We'd treat the monsters well!

No... You can't really mean that.

No, no! It's an idea with a punch! It's brilliant!

It's something that's never been done!

It's bound to be a big strikeout.

This is not a game you lose in!

Have you seen our latest TV ratings?... Have you?

Nobody is watching our TV show...

because it's dull, boring and without imagination.

Pacific Pharmaceuticals demands advertising...

You two will travel to Faro Island,

to see if this monster exists or not!

Fumiko!

What's for dinner?

What has she done with dinner?!

Damn... not again!

Fumiko!

Oh, brother. I didn't think you'd be home so soon.

I just happened to be starving!

No!

Sorry about that...

Well... it seems the two of you had your fill before dinner.

That's silly... What makes you say that?

I know my sister's lipstick.

Dinnertime... Would you like some?

Huh? Really?

Sure!

There's something I really want to show you.

- This is it. - What? That's sewing thread!

No, it's very strong...

and flexible too!

Let me show you what I mean.

What are you doing?!

That's dangerous!

Incredible!

Alright!

No more!

Feel how light this stuff is.

Anyway, we made it for hospitals.

I want you to take some on your expedition tomorrow.

Well, isn't this special!

I'll bet my sister has something to do with your timing!

Oh? Where are you going, brother?

Somewhere around the Solomon Islands...

Really? To go fishing?

No... We're supposed to catch a large monster.

Oh... you're joking, right?

What? I'm not going to some amusement park!

I don't think you'll have much luck finding a spokesperson there.

Really...

Damn!

What?

You made his steak much larger than mine!

What would make you think I'd do that?

Kazuo Fujita!

The paper does not belong at the table!

Hey, what are you reading?

It's about a nuclear sub up north.

Up north?

Welcome! Welcome!

Hey!

Those people are expecting us to come back with something great.

They're just a bunch of thrill seekers!

It's good public relations, so relax.

This is fantastic!

Don't you think we're overdoing it?

What are you saying?

There's no limit to the press we can get out of this!

This was a great idea from the start!

Alright? I'm going to start bringing in the reporters!

Hang in there!

I'd better hurry...

Hey, how can his mood shift so much?

Brother!

- Thanks for inviting us. - You're welcome.

- Thanks for inviting us. - No problem.

Hey brother, why do you seem so depressed?

Well... he doesn't like being so important.

It's so sudden.

What tests did we pass for this?

When did we pass them?

Yes... How could it be?...

But don't you think it's wrong?

Yes. It could ruin their success.

Really Fumi, that's not what I meant!

What makes you say that?

I think it makes sense, in my opinion.

- Is he coming? - He's already here.

He's over there, impressing the guests...

Oh, Sakurai! Sakurai!

- Obashi! - Yes!

Get the reporters together for this...

But this is everyone we invited.

What?

You said you only wanted them for important news.

If this isn't important news, then tell me what is important!

We're approaching the island!

Oh, there it is!

- We're heading back! - Okay!

Hey, this is an incredible island!

We'll be barbecued if we're not careful.

Some of the natives are coming!

This is terrible! What will we do?

- Is... is that the chief? - Well?

Y... yes.

Listen... Tell them that we want to be friends, okay?

Wha... what are they going to barbecue?

What happened?

He doesn't want you here. Go back, now!

If he insists...

Take it easy and calm down!

Tell the chief that we're his friends,

and that a big boat is coming for us tomorrow.

Okay!

No, stop!

Right. Chief!

Let's stop playing games. This... this is for you.

This is...

a transistor radio!

A transistor radio.

With this, you have a ticket to the world at your fingertips!

It is many gifts, many! Do you understand?

Throw the switch and dial a station.

The cigarettes! Cigarettes!

It's tobacco.

That is all I have...

Damn... When it rains, it pours.

This isn't right...

Don't tell mom where you got them, okay?

Hey, do you think it's alright now?

It's alright... Our medicine did the trick!

Alright, you can stay.

But they will take no responsibility if their god eats you both.

Hey, wait! Maybe we should give him something...

Give this gift to him as a reward for his service.

Their god, their god!

Their god...

What? They think that is their god?

It's a huge god...

but the truth is it's just a bunch of thunderclouds!

This isn't dangerous.

Re... really?

Look...

They believe it all began up there.

The rain is their god... Their giant monster...

What's with you?

Hey... that wasn't thunder!

I heard it...

But... it wasn't coming from the clouds!

Let go of me!

That was a good joke!

I thought you'd be pretty lonely.

I'm not lonely at all.

It's okay, I understand.

Hey, have you eaten?

Whenever I start to worry, I get something to eat.

Is it that easy to tell that I'm worried?

It's no use pretending... It's all over your face.

I brought two sandwiches...

Captain, how bad is it?

Our return could be delayed.

I don't have the latest report on the Arctic Ocean.

We have two days before the test is scheduled to end.

I'm not getting any readings from the sonar.

I understand, but...

how bad is it?

You miss Fumiko, huh?

This was left in the dining room.

She's a pretty girl... You must really miss her.

Oh, no! It's not that bad, Captain.

Did you come from Nemura in Honchu?

I might move to Nemura...

Captain!

I've received a distress call!

It's from the undersea vessel, Seahawk. Anything else?

It's an American nuclear submarine.

GODZILLA SIGHTED ATTACKS ARCTIC BASE

Are you sure it's Godzilla?

Is it a mistake?

No, it's not a mistake.

Godzilla has awakened from its sleep in the iceberg.

After all...

we couldn't expect it to remain completely frozen

in something like that forever.

Even if it took over 200 years,

we knew that eventually it would break out and return to us.

Japan has existed for 3000 years by not overreacting to every situation.

Just a moment!

Simply put, we don't know Godzilla's location.

No official statement

until we know how many people could be affected by this.

Will you say whether or not

you believe Godzilla will be coming to Japan?

It will come...

I'm sure it will come to Japan.

I think it's the perfect place to return to.

- Return to? - Yes.

Every animal remembers where it was born.

I'm sure it hasn't forgotten either.

Newspapers, radio, magazines and TV...

are all shouting, Godzilla! Godzilla! Godzilla!

I don't think they could cover it anymore!

And... there is a movie, too!

They were talking about Godzilla in the cafeteria...

Idiots!

How can we advertise with our giant monster when it's getting

all the attention!?

But... we haven't seen it yet!

Send a telegram, a telegram!

Today, Godzilla was sighted several times...

Shut up!

As it was heading for the Bering Sea...

Stop it!

Telegram!

Ah... Right, right!

I don't care how much tobacco you offer them...

Haven't you found the giant monster yet?

Move! Move, move!

Hey!

Hey... Come on, come on!

Wait up!

You're becoming a real nuisance!

- It... it's out! - Out? What's out?

- Godzilla! - What are you...

Godzilla?! Where? Where?

It's somewhere else... In the North Sea...

What are you saying?!

The Captain said he heard it on the radio.

It would be terrible if it came here!

It would be an easy meeting...

I'll just tell it I want an interview with a giant monster.

Back up a little!

Get off!

Konno, come on!

Are you okay?

Get it off! Get it off!

What are you doing! Throw it! Do it now!

Get it off!

Hurry! Throw it!

Hey, what are you waiting for? Hurry! Run!

Help me!

Hey... how are you? Are you okay?

Listen... Let's go home.

Quit joking! This is a big scoop!

Tako wouldn't forgive us if we didn't get this advertised.

You and I would have to resign.

What?

I asked him to get something... to help him sleep...

Konno!

Konno, what's wrong?

- What's going on? - The torches! The torches!

- What? What did you... - An octopus!

What's the fuss over a little octopus?!

Konno! Here!

What the...? Why don't we let the octopus stay where it is?

Because the kid and his mother are in trouble!

- It's King Kong! - King Kong?

What's with him?

Chief! Chief!

Everything's okay now... Let's go home!

What are you saying?!

- Let's go home! - Right, we'll go home...

- After we build a raft. - A raft?

Hey, you don't... Oh, no... Not for that...

You don't mean you'll...

Stop it!

Hooray! Hooray!

Look! Look! Where is Godzilla? Where?

King Kong, King Kong, King Kong, King Kong, Obashi!

- Very well done! - Thank you, thank you!

How about that?

The telegram worked very well!

It wasn't good at all!

Those men used their heads and came up with a great idea!

Instead of calling them... I'll go by helicopter!

How about that? He's ranting on as if he'll commit suicide!

He doesn't mean it.

The boss is under a lot of pressure. He'll return to normal slowly.

Hey, which one is stronger between Godzilla and King Kong?

Stupid idiot! It's not a wrestling match!

I'll buy... that idea!

King Kong versus Godzilla...

Well, we're getting closer to Japan.

What? You should be ecstatic!

Excuse me, there's a helicopter with a visitor.

Hey, look!

Hey! Welcome!

Thank you.

Hooray!

Captain!

Pacific Pharmaceuticals thanks you both for a job well done.

Congratulations! Well done!

Is that our King Kong?

He cuts right to the point.

He's a big hit!

If you push that, King Kong goes "pow"!

Mines are rigged to blow.

We loaded his raft with TNT and wired it to this station.

The papers had a field day!

King Kong is the best thing they've had to laugh about in a while!

They're laughing at King Kong?

They're laughing at themselves.

What was the catch phrase...

Godzilla was squeezed out when

Pacific Pharmaceuticals squeezed berries for its medicine...

and from it... which one? Which one?

We'll arrive in Japan tomorrow...

and then we'll work to slowly revive King Kong.

You must be joking... He's not a baby that you can wake up at will!

Meet with me about it when you're feeling better.

Hello! Hello!

He's going to do this recklessly.

A Navy vessel!

Fumi! Fumi!

Have you heard the latest story? Look at the newspaper...

There's a story about the Danishinsei-maru!

The vessel Danishinsei-maru has disappeared in the Arctic Ocean.

No one has been able to find it...

Since Godzilla was initially spotted in those waters,

it is possible that it sank it.

Hey, until we can discover the truth,

go to the spot where they were last seen.

Are you the captain of this ship?

We've been authorized by the Japanese Maritime Bureau to board this vessel.

Which one of you is in charge of King Kong?

I am. Pacific Pharmaceuticals.

The National Land Bureau...

is concerned with your unauthorized use of this vessel.

A request to allow King Kong into the country was not presented,

so he is considered to be smuggled goods.

Smuggled goods?

It will cost you for not telling them.

Doesn't that infringe on King Kong's rights?

The Self Defense Command decrees...

that because you did not follow procedure with King Kong this time...

you will take full responsibility for any destruction caused by him.

Boss! Boss!

Hi...

What's the matter?

You... you're alive!

Are you fooling with me?

The Danishinsei-maru disappeared recently!

What? Is this true?

I just came from it!

- Fumi's gone to Hokkaido! - What? To Hokkaido?

Oh, excuse me for the mess. Ah... is it Ms. Ohikoshi?

No, I'm Sokaisho Sato.

Really? What are you doing tonight?

Godzilla!

Godzilla? Is this true?

The radio reported it just now... Godzilla has landed at Matashima!

Mama, I want to go see Godzilla.

Don't be stupid. We're going to the train station now. Well, come on...

- What train did Fumi get on? - She got on the Aomori Express.

Come on, you can sleep over here.

It's no trouble...

I'm sorry to bother you.

Commander, at 5:25 AM, Godzilla was sighted 50 kilometers south of Sendai.

We have to wait until we receive our orders from the Prime Minister...

But Commander!

My hands are tied in this matter.

Therefore, if we choose to act sooner,

I accept responsibility for any criticism of my choices.

For now, contact the military school

to send a group to observe the situation there.

He's approaching a valley by the Tohoku main line.

Everyone, we apologize for the sudden stop,

but Godzilla is coming this way! Godzilla is coming this way!

Don't panic, please! Get your things and leave the train!

No good! No good! We're full!

- Hurry on! - Watch out!

Wait!

Halt! Halt!

Go back! Go back!

Tell me about the train passengers!

Are they all safely loaded?

Not yet! There are still 14 or 15 of them back there!

Right! Get going!

Hey, wait! Are you nuts?! Are you crazy?!

- Is this everyone? - I think a young girl's back there!

Hey! Don't go! Godzilla is coming!

Fumiko!

Hold on!

Kazuo!

Hang in there!

How did you think you were going to help me... love?

Idiot!

The situation with Godzilla could lead to destruction worldwide.

It is believed to be responsible for sinking the nuclear sub, Seahawk.

We could try to stop it with a million volt shock.

That should be enough to incapacitate it.

Minister, do we have the power to deliver a million volt shock?

I'm not sure, but I believe we can provide one.

Where is Godzilla right now?

At this present time, Godzilla is in the Natsuki area.

Commander... It's an emergency.

King Kong is awake?!

What a disaster... What a disaster!

I know!

Captain!

Hurry! Cut it!

Cut the lines!

- What's going on? - Right! Let's do it!

What are you doing?!

We're going to blow up the raft!

King Kong is our company sponsor!

If we lose him, we will never be forgiven!

No... Tako!

What are you doing?!

Wh... what sponsor is that?! What advertisement?!

We can't protect him just for those things.

What are you doing?! Stop it! Stop it!

Hey, get your rifle! We can blow them up with bullets!

Godzilla will be out here and we will push it inside.

Once we bring it to the end, we will begin phase two.

When Godzilla reaches this point, we'll set off the explosives and...

bury it under thousands of tons of earth.

The Commander?

Over there...

Commander! I just received a report that King Kong has landed!

I've ordered the immediate area to be evacuated as a precaution.

Today, King Kong rampaged through several towns,

causing massive damage to many buildings.

We must make it clear that King Kong is a real animal,

whereas Godzilla is a monster born from radiation.

Hey! Stop! Go back!

Halt! Halt! Halt!

Who's in charge of this vehicle?

Yes, that would be me...

I'm with Pacific Pharmaceuticals. King Kong is our sponsor...

Hey! What is this?! Speak up!

Who are you people?

- Pacific Pharmaceuticals. - And we're TV cameramen.

Okay! Get back there and stay there!

Well... this is a quiet and safe place for this.

Say, which one do you think will win?

That wouldn't be a problem for a quiz show contestant!

You're probably right...

Boss!

Boss, he can't do anything against that breath!

He can't lose! He can't lose!

Damn... He's getting mad at Godzilla.

This can't be it! This can't be it!

Take your positions!

One million volts... That's more power than you need to run Tokyo!

No. You need a lot more power in order to run a city that big.

Why do you think Godzilla and King Kong hate each other?

I don't know yet.

Well, are we ready for the second round?

Only if King Kong decides to come.

Hey, is your family involved in this?

No, I have some bets on the outcome.

The agency is finishing the pit.

Commander! All of our military units are in position!

Good!

Release the fuel!

What is the status of the forestations? Are they prepared? Are they prepared?

Everything is prepared!

It's coming this way... Ready your forces.

Roger!

Let's go!

Throw them!

- Get ready! - Ready!

- Blow it! - Blowing it!

Alright! Let's go!

Fall back! Fall back!

What?! The trap worked?

Good!

It's coming out of the mists!

King Kong is running wild again in the suburbs of Tokyo!

Why should we evacuate?

Of course we have to leave! What have you been eating?!

You don't understand...

And where will we evacuate to?

A safe place!

We just have to leave the coast for a typhoon.

Where can we run to from Godzilla and King Kong?

You're being quiet. What do you have to say about this?

Oh, really?

Oh, really?! Is that all you can offer?

- However, if it's possible... - It's useless to say anymore!

Can we all please evacuate the area without saying something?

If it's possible...

it would be okay if we stayed here.

What?

I suggest that we don't separate.

I agree.

This is a bad mistake!

Everyone, at 8:30 this evening, Godzilla was reported moving...

in the direction of Tokyo.

Kazuo, what now?

Look at you two!

- Get it ready! - It's ready!

Set the power!

The power is set!

That seemed to hold it back!

No, I'm not sure yet.

King Kong is approaching Matsuto!

- Hey, back up! - Right

Look there!

What are you saying? Godzilla is much stronger!

He won't stand a chance!

B... but I know he will succeed!

Wake up, man! I say he's going to lose!

You... you're wrong! King Kong will...

Alright, enough, enough!

Let's watch King Kong, okay?

And another thing, pal...

Yes, this is the Tamari-Four. The commander is just arriving.

There he is!

Boss, let's fall back! Hey!

Boss!

Minister, how do we stop it now?

I'm surprised that the shock didn't finish it.

What will happen to the electricity?

I'm not sure... Ask Mr. Shinagawa, please.

Just a moment, Mr. Shinagawa, what will be done now?

I recommend that we deliver a package of explosives.

That should help simplify the solution as to what's to be done with it.

Kazuo! Kazuo!

Fumi!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me! Somebody, help me!

Lights!

Commander! It's getting worse!

Godzilla's normally the problem, but King Kong's an immediate threat!

He must be stopped. I didn't want it this way... Prepare the artillery!

Report your status! Report your status!

Wait, please! King Kong has my sister!

What?

He's got her in his hand!

Hold your fire!

But how can we help your sister?

We can't do much without hurting her in the process!

Damn! You stupid idiot!

Let Fumi go! Let her go! What's the matter with you?!

- Hey! - Wait!

Fumiko! Fumiko!

Faro Island!

Faro Island? You're right!

Go get what we need!

Do you have any animal tranquilizers?

Animal tranquilizers?

Yes... To put King Kong to sleep!

Ah! You're right! The Faro berries!

They were brought back to us by the professor.

Ah! That's right!

It's a good thing that we have a big supply of them!

This will solve both of our problems!

Obashi!

Do you understand? Get going!

But what about Fumi?

It's okay... Her life is in good hands...

That was certainly a great idea!

I'd do anything to stop King Kong from being killed!

I hope this works, like it did back there.

We'll see soon enough.

I just want to help him get back home...

Go ahead.

Open fire!

Artillery... Fire!

- Damn! - Hold on!

He's almost out!

Hey! Don't just sit there doing nothing!

Hey! She's free! She's free!

Alright! That did the trick!

Bring her this way!

Hurry! Hurry!

Is she okay?

Fumiko!

- Brother... - Fumiko!

- Kazuo! - Medic!

Yes, the medic!

- Hurry! - Right!

Thank you.

Commander, what do we do with King Kong?

Once again, we must figure out how to defeat King Kong and Godzilla.

Right Shinagawa?

King Kong disabled the million volt system and altered our timetable.

This time it's real. Godzilla is coming!

I know.

It was decided among the seven of us

that we will force them to share the same fate.

Huh?... The same fate?

The problem is how do we get them together?

I have it! We'll raise him. We'll raise him with balloons!

Get the stuff you used for the flower viewing festival!

That's right!

Please, let us do it!

Alright... Do it!

Go to work!

Let's go!

Move it out!

Switch on the helium!

Begin inflation!

Hey, it's working!

Excuse me.

There it is.

Roger!

King Kong is ready to be moved!

Take off!

It's working!

I knew you would make this work.

Hey, the test was a big success!

When will we reach Mount Fuji?

By early morning.

Hey! Hurry, hurry!

Look! His eyes are open!

Our target is over there!

Ropes okay!

They're tumbling!

Kong has them locked together!

Damn... Hey, break it up!

Damn... King Kong is getting roasted...

Excuse me, but we have storm clouds moving in.

Thank you.

That's perfect! The storm clouds will make him fight better, you watch!

The storm will improve his condition?

Halt!

It's too dangerous!

They're getting close to the castle!

Excuse me!

An Earthquake!

It's King Kong!

Shinagawa, it's the helicopter for you!

King Kong is swimming towards the South Seas.

What should we do?

Nothing... Let him go home.

He probably misses his island in the south.

Boss...

It's not worth the trouble... I give up.

Is Godzilla dead?

Well...

Do you think it survived?

It's possible...

Well, I guess that we...

as humans...

must change how we treat plants and animals. It's time to learn from them...

That's all I have to say...

THE END
