I honestly feel that this 88 year-old fight sequence, shot and choreographed by Willis O’Brien and assistant animator Buzz Gibson over a period of seven weeks, is more gripping in a visceral boxing-match sense that any of the similar scraps in Adam Wingard‘s Godzilla vs. Kong. I didn’t believe anything in that ridiculous film…not a line, not a shot, nothing. What’s still great about the oldie but goodie is that amplified Kong roar and the whites of his eyes.
