| Comments: | The producer of our favorite monster movie has passed away. Dino de Laurentiis was the last of the old school tycoons. Well, a Dino(saur)in the best way. In contrast to most of these modern producers, who do not have heart or love for movies but just dollars, statistics and business plans on their mind, de Laurentiis was a real cineast. He has produced movies since more than sixty years, from italian arthouse to american blockbusters. He knew every aspect in movie making, his movies had his personal signature and so he rightfully once said: my movies are my children.
"Bigger than life" was his attitude and moviemaking his elixir of life. With grandezza he was able to realize every project, no matter how difficult or even impossible it seemed to be. Since I've seen King Kong 76 as a kid I've followed the path of his live, the ups and downs, the triumphs and also his failures. And it was incredible to see him coming back after defeats again and again like the phoenix. Who can now fill the gap? No one. Perhaps Steven Spielberg who has the same love and passion for his projects. But the Dino de Laurentiis way will always be unique, uncomparible and not possible to imitate. Farewell, Seniore Dino De Laurentiis. We will not forget you. Rest in peace. |

| Comments: | Hi. Great site.
Yes, Kong 76 is the best one. Even though it's dated, it raises timeless moral/ethical issues in the movie: greed, plunder, Western delusions of superiority (technological, moral), environmental rape, corporate self-interest, politics, etc... I love Jack's quote when he says they took away the magic and mystery from the natives' lives and they'd turn into a bunch of drunks. So true. What a great script. The 2005 movie has no such moralistic impact. Acting was fabulous: yes, Jessica made us believe she was a ditsy blond (she is not-that's great acting; her monologues with Kong are great), Grodin is fantastic (making us hate him and laugh with and at him all at the same time), Bridges' passion is spot on as an environmentalist. Script great, casting great, acting great = great movie. Enough said. Thanks for listening and thanks for keeping this site up. You too have passion and purpose. More power to you! Cheers. |

| Comments: | I can't believe so many people actually think this is the best King Kong film.
It's a mixed bag for me. Some bad and unlikeable characters. Heck even Kong is unlikeable. But there is good too. A few of the supporting characters are good as is some action scenes and quick moments of thrills. But overall I found it to be average at best. |

| Comments: | Btw, I desparately want the tv edition to be reissued. I taped it off UHF in 1983. Thank heaven I still have it. It has key music motifs the DVD doesn't. Also key shots of the canyon with the log bridge, and awesome shots of kong snarling as rips open the snake. Also more shots of the island before the slow wide pan of the group first arriving just before finding the wall. And more shots of kong stalking nyc.It seems most blockbusters have special edition DVDs, this one so richly deserves one,...please, someone start a petition, it worked for land of the lost tv show. |

| Comments: | I am soooo grateful to find this site. For the last two years Ive gone to bed watching king kong for some reason.sometimes I turn off the tube and just listen to it on headphones because of the dreams this technique grants. I could write a thesis on why 76 got it right. 1. If it's a movie about a giant ape, the key scene will be introducing the ape...only this version drew out his arrival with due tension. 2. Heavy footsteps sound 3. Soundtrack, etc. If you're wondering why this strange tale is happening to the poor heroine, only 76 makes a point of having dwan insinuate herself into the first trip onto the island, this her fate was of her own doing. Anyways, of course Ive been a total leper pariah for defending this film in the face of sheer and universal derision. Bless u jlb, I need this site. |

| Comments: | Just wanted to say "thank you" for keeping this site up after Jeffrey's passing. I enjoy coming by to visit and connect with my eternal love for the '76 classic. My all time favorite version and one I don't have to defend as much anymore. Today's generation gets it and THAT is very satisfying. It's been sweet justice to see the latest remake fall by the wayside and be virtually forgotten while the '76 sees more air time than ever on cable. It just goes to show you 'once a good movie, always a good movie.' I hope your Christmas is beautiful and filled with Jeffrey's spirit. |

| Comments: | Desperatley needed is a long awaited (I honestly thought this would be released with the Peter Jackson Kong remake) 3 DVD Ultimate Edition 35th Anniversary Release of King Kong. Here is my Ultimate Fantasy.
1. Remember what George Lucas did with Star Wars? He remade it the way he would have really made it had he had 21st Century Technology in 1977. Consequently, there are scenes that are much improved in the "Special Edition"....Imagine getting Rick Baker, and de Laurentis back together, and the guys who did Jurassic Park effects? We re-do the Kong suit and masks for Baker, and re-shoot a few key scenes. We edit out the fake ass snake fight, and replace it with Kong fighing a Jurassic Park like T-Rex. We edit out the "Robot Kong" scenes from when Kong is captured in NYC, and replace those with good and realistic shots of Baker..(We could also show a few scenes of what happened to the sailors who fell off the log, in a nod to the 33' classic)....NOW, we include these scenes with the missing "NBC" footage, the extended scenes, and we have the ULTIMATE version of Kong. Also, we have Jessica Lange and Charles Grodin providing commentary. 2. Disc 2 contains both the original Theatrical release, and the NBC re-edited release. Plus trailers, ect. 3. Disc 3 is a special Documentary on the importance of Kong in Cinema, and a special about the all the different "Kong" movies that it spawned. Also included as a bonus would be "King Kong Lives" and some old commercials, trailers, ect. |

| Comments: | The Jackson Remake was absolute CRAP. It is surreal, that with the budget he had and 21st Century SFX, he was not able to come up with a decent film. Here is exactly what was wrong with the film.
1. Overuse of CGI. Too many scenes in the Jackson Remake look like "Playstation Kong" CGI was overused to the point, where you could tell exactly what was CGI Generated. Too many dinosaurs, and it's almost like he needed to create too much action on Skull Island. In 1933, Merian C. Cooper and in 75, De Laurentis were able to use little puppets, and a guy in an ape suit to create more real looking monsters. Hell, back in the 70's, "Land of the Lost" had better looking and acting Dinos than Jacksons Playstation creations. Jurassic Park is what it should have resembled. 2. Miscasting. Jack Black as Carl Denham? Wow. I kept waiting for this unfunny character actor to start telling the sailors aboard the Venture about Rock Music. The "Jack Driscoll" roll went to an extra on "Friends" and in the single most important role in the Picture, he hand selects a middle aged woman who resembles Ann Darrow's cougar aunt. Naomi Watts would have been great for the role about 10 years ago when she was in her 20's. Plus, she was not sexy in the classic way that Fay Wray was back in 1933. Fay had a look, that was a siren, crossed with an innocent bright eyed girl, that worked perfect. She was hott without trying to be, and just had "it" Jessica Lange in the 76 Remake had "it" and also had that innocent girl with the bedroom eyes and the killer body thing going. In both the '33 and 76' Remake, Ann and Dwan were terrified of Kong. Dwan less so, but there was a definite element of danger, and especially sexual innuendo working, that brough a sense of mystery to both films. ("Tanya's Island" a Kong rip off showed audiences what they were trying to supress all along) This was missing in the Jackson "kid friendly" film, and Ann was turned into a Vaudeville clown, while Kong was a eunich like old man. Idiotic. In both the 33 and 76 Remake, Kong was a threat, and dangerous, period. Skull Island. The Javanese cannibals were stupid and the Island looked uninhabitable. The Skull Island of 33 and 76 were a Forbidden Paradise with dangers lurking within. The Sacrificial Ceremony, done so gorgeously in 1976, was anticlimatic. So much more could have been done with it. |

| Comments: |
While I liked both movies (1976 and 2005) one thing about the '76 version that edges out P.J's is the end.... Kong didn't bleed. I must've seen that movie like five times before it clicked. They unloaded half a war's ammo into the poor ape and while he died, he didn't bleed. So I'm assuming he was just stressed out by being shot at by idiots and had a heart attack. Poor Pete must've been kicking the special effects crew over that one. Mind you, there was a lot going on, in post production, but to miss something so major (someone gets shot...they bleed) marred an otherwise good movie. Since I was born post 1933, the 1976 version is my 1933. Thanks again. joanna |

| Comments: | I would like to say is that King Kong 1976 version has inspired me when I was a kid. The roars , the height, and the battles that he took on was impressive. When they was killing him, it took my heart out for Kong and I wish I was there to save Kong and send him back to his island where he belongs. That movie really touched me, it also helped me to be strong among my enemies and face them in whatever situation. Just wanna say, Thank you for having a website to support the greatest monster and creature of all time" King Kong " . The 1976 version is sooo much better than the King Kong 2000; Even if the newer version had more graphics but it did not look sooo real to my emotional side. Thanks again, Bill from Philadelphia..... |

| Comments: | I'm 40 years-old and I still love this movie! I'm actually listening to the John Barry soundtrack right now as I write this!
KING KONG (1976) was the first PG-rated movie I ever saw at the age of 9. My dad took me to see it during it's opening weekend at the Astor Plaza Theater in New York City. Try to just imagine the awe and wonderment in my face as I watched my very first spectacular "event" movie! This, after having seen nothing on the screen but "Benji", "The Wilderness Family" and assorted animated Disney re-releases. As many of you know, hit movies stayed in theaters a lot longer back then. I convinced my dad to take me to see it again sometime in early 1977. Had I been able to pull it off, I would have gone back to the theater many more times to keep seeing it. Until "Star Wars" came out, it was my very favorite movie as a kid! Now, as a mature adult (sort of) and father, I can say that even though the original black and white classic KONG of 1933 cannot be denied as a better and more significant film, KONG '76 will always hold a special place in my heart as a turning point for me as a child moviegoer! I should also say that having witnessed the events that took place in New York City on September 11, 2001 firsthand from the street, watching the climactic sequence of Kong's final battle atop the twin towers of the World Trade Center seems all the more poignant. Thank you, all! |

| Comments: | I was so pleased to find this site when I recently googled my favourite movie. For years I suppressed my views for Kong 76 for fear of ridicule but to find so many other fans who enjoy it just as much gives me a feeling of vindication. Whilst I was too young to experience its release in the cinema (I was 3 at the time) I have watched it over and over and over again since the first time I saw it on tv in the early 80's. Due to the unjustified criticism of the movie, it had been impossible to obtain on video and DVD here in Australia, until Peter Jackson's version was released in 2005. Fortunately 76 Kong became readily available on DVD thereafter. The mystery of this movie is what entices me the most, such as Jack's story telling to the crew when he reveals himself as a stowaway, and when they finally come across the wall (much better than the 05 wall as Chris stated). Whilst I love the 05 version I was disappointed that Jackson opted to set the movie in the 1930's and portray the natives of Skull Island as babaric savages. One of the appealing factors of Kong 76 is it is set in modern time (albeit 1976), as a remake should be, so the viewers can feel a real sense of fear of Kong running riot amongst them. It also depicts the natives as a simple, naive race of people who worship Kong as a deity and feel they must appease him with female sacrifices. This to me, seems to be a more plausible depiction of a society cut off from the rest of the world for centuries, isolated with a gigantic and terrifying beast. I hope one day Kong 76 gets the recognition it deserves as a classic.

| Comments: | Hi!
Im a Kong collector since 1974. I like the history very much but the 1976 version was a revelation to me. Why? because Dwan was the first that cry for Kong. A beautiful woman, a perfect one! With nice feelings for a terrorific beast, undoubtly (?) the beauty understand the beast. Okay, 2005 version its more advanced in technique but Jackson not create the feelings between Ann and Kong: De Laurentis was the first one! I hope that you can write some letters to me. Thanx! |

| Comments: | I think the Peter Jackson tale definately had its good points and bad points. I was totally disappointed with the look of the wall and native village. In Dino De Laurentiis' 1976 tale,it looked more tropical, and not so dead. I really liked Jackson's sacrifice scene, I thought that was really awesome! I thought with all the skull bones, here and there, that that was too much! LOL Little over exaggerated! I thought Kong was more scary in the 1976 one.But he moved more like an ape in this new one. The NY scenes were really great! In some ways the 1976 version was better, and in other ways...this one was better! But Peter Jackson made something that DID deliver to the audience...cause it was a good film overall! |

| Comments: | Excellent site. I saw Kong in 1976 as a 12 y.o. boy and have never been able to forget the sheer sense of wonder and enjoyment I got as I gazed upon it through the unquestioning and uncritical eyes of my youth. Over the years the knowing adult critic in me has tried to creep out and belittle the movie as I watched but I've always endeavoured to force him back into silence and simply enjoy a guilty pleasure. Any others have the same experience I wonder. Cheers, Owyman. |

I was a little boy when this movie came out in 1976...and was a huge fan of the flick since the first time I saw it at the theater. I especially liked your Kong collectibles...but there was only one thing missing from your collection--the drinking straw! I had one of those, and it was great! It was a bulky fascimile of the WTC with a little Kong at the bottom, and as I sucked chocolate milk up through the straw, Kong climbed the building! :D |

| Comments: | In 2005 I expected a real time remake of King Kong and not a version of the classic 1933 film with better special effects. I think the 1976 version is better. |

| Comments: | I always had a soft spot for the 76 Kong.
I think it stands out as something unique, ...and I really wish the comparissons would stop. But, it's only that.... wishfull thinking. I like Jacksons version ok... but I think the performances fall a little flat. (Although Andy Sirkus did a good 'Kong') Check out my Yahoo group Kong76 |
