20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Godzilla

19. Godzilla Once Replaced King Kong

Godzilla isn€™t a character that you often think can be easily transposed into another monster€™s movie, let alone one so iconic as King Kong, but it happened once, resulting in the much maligned Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster. The switch was made well into pre-production, a decision that is quite apparent in the final film. Godzilla behaves in a way that is uncharacteristic to his nature; drawing strength from electricity, constantly throwing rocks and boulders, and even displaying a strange attraction to the female lead. In hindsight, even the setting, a strange and mysterious island, was clearly meant for Kong. Because of this switch, Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster is a black sheep of the series.
