King Kong Escapes (1967)


IMDb plot summary: King Kong is brought in by an evil ruler to dig for precious gems in a mine when the robot MechaKong is unable to do the task. This leads to the machine and the real Kong engaging in a tremendous battle that threatens to level Japan.
Directed by IshirĂ´ Honda. Starring Rhodes Reason, Mie Hama, Linda Miller, and Akira Takarada.

This is really only for if you watched the original King Kong movie and thought, "You know what this needs? More robots." It's pretty silly in a way that I'm sure will appeal to monster movie fans but sits in a pretty neutral place for me.

King Kong Escapes < The Commitments
