Had an argument with someone on a Facebook group about whether Kong counts as a kaiju or deserves honor in tokusatsu, either.

The guy insisted Kong does not count because he is a "kaijin," which is apparently a category for humanoids like Ultraman, and also because he was originally stop-motion he does not count as tokusatsu.

Well, nuts to that.

Kong has appeared in 8 live-action films. In 4 of those films he was portrayed by a guy in a suit. So a good 50% of his film appearances, then, are basically tokusatsu.

Especially since 2 of those 4 appearances had him brought to life by Eiji Tsubaraya himself!

Plus, let's not forget that the successful re-release of the 1933 King Kong was one of the inspirations behind Godzilla's creation in the first place!

I get that some fans have an irrational hatred for Kong, because I have had that mindset, too. However, I grew out of it and the rest of them need to, too.

King Kong by Carlo Rambaldi

The werewolf form of Reverend Lowe was designed and realized by Carlo Rambaldi. The head itself was entirely animatronic, and according to cinematographer Daniele Nannuzzi, had small holes under the muzzle to allow actor Everett McGill to see.

The animatronic head's expressions were controlled by levers that were connected to the mask via 'cables going out of the wolf's ass' as Nannuzzi so colourfully put it. The bodysuit and head were both coated in bear fur.

E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982, Steven Spielberg)

29/12/2023

E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial, also know simply as E. T., is a 1982 science fiction film directed and produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Melissa Mathison. It tells the story of Elliot, a boy who befriends an extraterrestrial creature, which he nicknames E. T., accidentally left on Earth by his peers. The main cast consists of Dee Wallace, Henry Thomas, Peter Coyote, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore.

The concept was based on an imaginary friend Spielberg thought up after his parents' divorce. In less than two months, Mathison wrote the first draft of the screenplay, titled E. T. and Me, which underwent two rewrites. The project was rejected by Columbia Pictures, who doubted its commercial potential. Universal Pictures eventually purchased the script for $1 million. The animatronics of E. T. were designed by Carlo Rambaldi.

It premiered as the closing film of the Cannes Film Festival on May 26, 1982, and was released in the United States on June 11 of the same year. The film proved to be an immediate blockbuster, surpassing Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film ever, a record that stood for eleven years until another Spielberg film, Jurassic Park, surpassed it in 1993. It received nine nominations at the 1983 Oscars, including best film, and won four awards: best original score, best special effects, best sound and best sound editing. The film also won five Saturn Awards and two Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture - Drama.

For the director, E. T. opened the way to a new genre of film: more personal films, focused on the emotions and human conditions of the protagonists, as will also be The Color Purple, Schindler's List and Amisted.
