King Kong is the oldest "movie monster", though he is not the first creature to rampage through a city in a movie. That was the brontosaurus from The Lost World, as I have stated before.

Godzilla never laid any eggs except in the American remake. His son from the series was always an adopted son.

The myth that Godzilla won in the Japanese version and that Kong won in the American version is not true. The only difference is that in the Japanese version Godzilla roared at the end, while in the American version Kong roared at the end. Who the winner was really is not clear to me, but Kong was supposed to be the "good guy."
