It takes them easily over an hour before they even get to the island.

Sure Peter Jackson, having come off of the epic Lord of the Rings saga didn’t seem to know how to make a short film. And I’m not the only one, it holds an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes and an A- CinemaScore.
While there were plenty of critiques hurled at this version of the Kong story, I enjoyed it immensely. The slow fading heart beat as he stares at the beauty is heart-wrenching. The final scene offers up a lot of emotion and even now, over 40 years later, it takes a real effort to hold back tears when Kong is shot down. All in all, this is a more complete film than the original as cinema had advanced almost half a century. The beats are pretty much the same as the ’33 version with some simple changes like using the World Trade Center instead of the Empire State Building and the crew is looking for oil instead of footage. It was Beauty killed the Beast.”įor the remake over 40 years later, producers tapped young actors (at the time) Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange (in her first film) as well as Charles Grodin. After falling to his death, the man who captured him utters what would become a famous line, “Oh, no it wasn’t the airplanes. Upon scaling the Empire State Building (only two years after it was built) he’s shot down by military planes. But you can’t keep a good ape down and he escapes with the girl in tow. Long story short they end up capturing Kong and bringing him back to New York to be put on display. The ape falls in love with her and protects her against dinosaurs and a large snake. The natives kidnap the blonde beauty in the film and offer her up as a sacrifice to a huge ape named Kong. A film crew ends up on an island inhabited by a primitive tribe and beasts of unusual size. Sure when we look at it now, the stop-motion animation of a constantly size-changing gorilla doesn’t exactly hold up but at the time it was revolutionary in its vision.
King Kong was unlike anything else in its day. But bad movies aside let’s get into the three main King Kong movies.
