Best Godzilla vs Kong Callbacks

i know this for sure kong bows to no one welcome to wanch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 godzilla versus kong things you missed there can't be two alpha titans bernie you're not supposed to be in here you ever wonder what we're really doing here let them fight for this list we're looking at the best references to kaiju history and other monster burst films hidden in this titanic movie matchup if you haven't seen the godzilla and kong matchup movie yet beware of massive spoilers ahead what was your favorite godzilla vs kong easter egg let us know in the comments below number 10 kong doesn't have the best luck with travel no way am i letting you dragon halfway across the world using as a weapon no not as a weapon as an ally to protect us in several versions of king kong humans bring him to a foreign land by knocking him unconscious and putting him in chains on a boat although he's also initially knocked out in the 2021 film at least they were trying to bring him home this time there's another great reference to kong's travel methods when they go to antarctica how's kong with heights in one of the sillier scenes in 1962's king kong vs godzilla they attached big yellow balloons to the ape and gently towed him into battle fortunately the 2021 version gave him a little more respect by getting an entire fleet of helicopters to carry him on a giant net although we're not sure this made kong love travel we're sure he appreciated the lack of embarrassing balloons he's going prepare to launch everybody to their station number nine that's a lot of fish while most critics might want to forget 1998's godzilla film it still contained a few memorable scenes we gotta get these manholes uncovered we want them to smell the bait when the humans want to lure the kaiju in for a closer look they buy a couple of fish okay more than a couple all right let's pile it on let's get out of here [Music] that's a lot of fish godzilla vs kong appears to contain a reference to this bizarrely memorable fish moment a few minutes before godzilla attacks kong grabs a quick snack to our surprise it's another giant pile of fish even if that's the only food option monarch had available for the ape his diet would still be a hilarious coincidence to the 1998 film maybe kong and godzilla's fight could have been avoided had they hashed out their differences over a sushi dinner that's gross number eight the bad bats return we saw a lot of terrifying creatures in the hollow earth but the ones that scared us the most were the bat turkey hybrids that we saw in kong's ancestral home unfortunately for the ape this isn't the first time he's had to deal with batty monstrosities when jack tries to rescue anne from king kong in the 2005 film he has to sneak past a bunch of bats although the creatures eventually wake up they don't devour the humans come on the godzilla vs kong bats are more ferocious harder to look at and would have definitely treated our heroes like snacks if they got the chance we'd rather take our chances with the snake creature kong fat than a bunch of these bats number seven keeping kaiju on an island was a good idea this time the habitat's not gonna hold much longer we need to start thinking about off-site solutions the island is the one thing that's kept him isolated if he leaves godzilla will come for him although we thought kong was roaming free on his island when the movie began he was actually confined to a dome created by the monarch agency and he's not exactly happy about it this opening is almost identical to an older monster movie in 1968's destroy all monsters the united nations science committee has contained a group of titans within the borders of an island while on land all of the earth's monsters have been collected and are living together in a place called monster land the monsters there live in relative peace until an alien race forces the kaiju to leave the island and wreak havoc across the globe fortunately for monarch kong never fell victim to any mind control although their containment plan never really backfired they were compassionate enough to let kong off the island in the end number six mechagodzilla tried to use godzilla's finishing move godzilla showed absolutely no mercy to the evil massive unidentified terrestrial organism or muto for short in the 2014 film our favorite kaiju fired his atomic breath into his enemy's mouth until it stayed down godzilla nearly found himself on the receiving end of this brutal technique after mechagodzilla comes out to play it manages to pin down the organic original right before it fires its massive laser into godzilla's mouth kong steps into the fray if it weren't for the great apes interference godzilla would have lost his life to his own finishing move number five a different hero defeats mechagodzilla the first time we saw the evil mechanical kaiju was in 1974's godzilla vs mechagodzilla after teaming up with a giant guardian named king caesar godzilla defeats his mechanical enemy by knocking off the robot's head after cutting mechagodzilla down to size kong makes sure to remove the robot's head and throw it away like it was a piece of garbage we're not sure which movie's version of the robotic kaiju's defeat is better but we do know one thing for sure mechagodzilla never comes out ahead in either battle see what we did there number four bernie's podcast hints at mothra's fate hello loyal listeners welcome to ttp titan truth podcast episode number 245. today is the day maybe the last podcast i ever recorded one of the best additions to the monster verse was brian tyree henry's bernie this character made exposition fun by conveying vital information through hilarious podcasts you think it's a coincidence that he reappears and just so happens to destroy that specific facility no no no no he even made time to reference dirty dancing by saying no one puts godzilla in a corner although we loved all his podcast titles we're most interested in number 244 mothra pregnancy theory mothra lost her life in the king of the monsters however the post-credits scene hinted that she may have left an egg behind bernie's podcast may give us further insight as to when a new mothra might hatch now we just have to wait until his over 200 episodes are available in our world i was wondering if i could invite you onto my podcast to talk about the modern facility in roswell number three ren sarazawa's tragic link to king of the monsters mr sirizawa start your engines the upgrade is untested once we get online kojiro will come straight for us ren sarazawa was initially responsible for controlling mechagodzilla's actions but what could drive a person to pilot that mechanical monstrosity the answer may lie with his father ren's dad ishiro serezawa was a wise and compassionate monarch scientist he was known to drop wicked one-liners let them fight during godzilla king of the monsters ishiro sacrificed his life to ensure that godzilla would live to fight another day if ren blamed godzilla for his father's passing then we understand why he'd voluntarily pilot mechagodzilla it's a shame that ren doesn't make it to the end of the film we would have liked to have seen him get a second chance to follow in his father's footsteps our power troubles will be over if they can find the source oh they'll find it i have faith in my daughter number two mecha godzilla's alien origins during 1974's godzilla vs mechagodzilla we learned that the mechanical titan was created by a shape-shifting alien race although the 2021 version of the character was built by humans it still has an alien connection the skull of one of godura's heads is inside of mechagodzilla there's one here another one inside of that thing it could be a sciatic interface in king of the monsters we learned that ghidorah wasn't born on earth it tells of a great dragon who fell from the stars a hydra whose storm swallowed both men and gods alike you mean an alien yes so in an extremely roundabout way you could say mechagodzilla is still part alien we're not sure why the 2021 film didn't follow the original to a t the 1974 mecha godzilla was built by creatures who shapeshifted into green apes and had ray guns and okay on second thought the ghidorah alien origin might be easier to digest before

other in a great war so if they meet again who bounced the hoop is that it we all tuned into the movie to see who would win the title fight this was mainly because of the somewhat ambiguous ending to their last match up in the 1960s during that battle the two titans fell into the water although we didn't see godzilla kong looked victorious as he walked away from the fight in the water the 2021 film made sure there was no question who the winner was their first fight leaves kong catching his breath on a boat shut it down what all of it although godzilla is ready for more he chooses to swim away and fight another day he later comes out on top once more in their third round grudge match sorry kong fans but the title belt definitively belongs to godzilla this time around do you agree with
