When I was a kid, it’s the film that really introduced me to slow motion.

I never had thought about slow motion as a tool really.

You look atFace/Offand, like, 80 percent of it’s in slow motion.

So, that was a big turning point for me.

I have a high regard for that film.

Godzilla vs. Kongis now available to watch in theatres and on HBO Max.
