'''''Kingu Kongu no Gyakushū''''' (translated: '''''Counterattack of King Kong''''', released in North America as '''''King Kong Escapes''''') is a 1967 ''daikaiju'' (giant monster) film produced by the Japanese [[Toho Studios]], and directed by Ishiro Honda. The legendary giant [[gorilla]], [[King Kong]], battles a robot version of himself, Mechani-Kong, which is under the control of evil scientist Dr. Who (not the British science fiction character) as part of his plans for world domination. Universal Pictures, in association with American animation studio Rankin-Bass (which had created an animated version of Kong titled ''The King Kong Show'' in 1966, on which this movie is partly based) distributed the English-dubbed version of the film in North America, where it debuted on June 19, 1968. This is also the first film in the ''King Kong'' franchise to depict Kong as an outright hero (previous ''King Kong'' movies depicted Kong either with villainous tendencies, such as killing innocent people while on rampages, or as an anti-hero).
