In 1978s The Deep ,staring Nick Nolte,Jacaqline Bisset a film written by Peter Benchley ,who also wrote JAWS,made a powerful impression on my young mind. I've seen a Clip of extra footage also from the TV broadcast. I wish Scream Factory would release a special edition of THE DEEP also. I've always loved John Berkeys poster artwork for KONG. I've also loved the poster for THE DEEP!
The TV cut added a great exchange between Jack and Dwan where he tells her if KONG doesn't make it they will never be able to look each other in the eye again. Great stuff.
Good for you for noting that wonderful and moving scene! That scene is fantastic and CRUCIAL to the story. When I watched it on tv I didn't know it wasn't in the film but it made me like that version more. There is some great stuff in the King Kong in NYC sequence that is only in the TV cut! Absurd that it was cut
I cried a few times and the TV cut made me sad because you really feel like you went on an epic journey. Theres even a recap intermission in the middle. so cool
Just got this as well and it's just pure nostalgia for me.This was my first into to King Kong ( same year Godzilla vs Megalon was released ) and seeing Kong and the big wall on the big screen for me at age 4 was just an amazing experience and why this film is to this day my favorite Kong movie and the original poster is my favorite as well.
First saw this movie in theaters back in 1976 with my parents (at age 9) and absolutely loved it! I had seen the 1933 original many times and it’s over of my all time favorites. I’ve seen the remake several times throughout the years and revisited it last year and still love it so much (great effects, Jessica Lange, Jeff Bridges and just pure 70s fun!) I just got the Scream Factory Blu-ray and look forward to checking out the tv cut as well as the special features. I have great memories of it too. Thanks for sharing.
I just finished the TV cut, WOW!!! It blew me away, so much new Kong stuff and the score is great. I remember watching it when it came on tv but didn't remember all the great added footage. Yes, its bloated and most of the added stuff wasn't really needed but if you love this film, all that stuff will feel like more icing on a yummy cake. It feel more EPIC and the builded up to KONG's entrance is crazy, overstuffed and AMAZING. I've always wanted MORE KONG 76 and now I have it. My Kong dreams are fulfilled! 3 incredible versions of my favorite film now added to my library. I won't be watching the original cut again for a while(I've seen it a billion times at this point any way), The Big Event TV cut will be my go to. Shout Factory did good in my book. Can't wait to rewatch this christmas,may I'll make it a two night event.
I've waited over 40 years for a descent copy of the TV edition that, for me, tells the story so infinitely better and covers the connection between Dwan and Kong in a more heartfelt manner. One point worth mentioning here on the theatrical cut...When the foreign blu ray came out many years ago, I grabbed an Australian copy and was pleased to see where they fixed that edit blip when Kong was rolling off the tower and there's a split second where Kong is not on the screen, then suddenly pops into view as he's falling. They took that empty space out so its seamless. Sadly its back in the domestic version. I know its nit picking. But after seeing the fix, it was odd they re-established it since the restored version was already in place and looks exactly like this one in terms of picture quality and sound. I enjoyed the special features but felt the interviews were way too short. I was hoping for a more involved retrospective that covered the film's storied history and how its grown to be as appreciated as it is today. But all things considered (especially with the pandemic) I'm very thankful for what they were able to carve out during such difficult times to bring this to market. Maybe somewhere down the road there will be a more involved back story on the movie. I DO think the audio commentary from Ray Morton is by far the most engaging and informative and meets that desire to get an historical accounting. He does an excellent job. But again the true gem and blessing to this set is the TV version. I doubt I will ever watch the theatrical version again, now that I have a beautiful copy of the extended cut. I saw Kong in theaters with my dad, so that was a great memory. But my love was sustained through the television cut a couple of years later and the rebroadcasts they did into the early 80's. Those were magical moments and seeing this cut again about brought tears to my eyes. It was like finding a long lost best friend.
I think that, barring a fan edit that combines the two versions, the optimal viewing experience is : Theatrical version up thru the snake fight. Switch to... Tv cut: Dwan and Jack running away/Kong bashing the wall. The added footage to the first part doesn't add much and TAKES away some sexy footage of Lange. All the great new stuff is in the second part.
I don't see how the tv cut could possibly be 180 minutes as the original running time of the theatrical cut was heavily edited for television. They can say they added an hour of unseen footage, but they also took a lot out when it aired on NBC. Also, much of the added footage amounts to adding two or three seconds to a given scene (i.e. Roy Bagley speaking to Joe Perko early in the film -- theatrical cut: Joe Perko: You mean there's LAND behind that fog? Roy Bagley: Correct, Joe. Extended TV Cut with additional footage -- Joe Perko: You mean there's LAND behind that fog? Roy Bagley: Correct - Correct, Joe), which add little to the film's run time. It's fun to see the unused footage, but film editors exist for good reason.
Same here, eager for a hopefully quick trip across the nation to Idaho.... I was 11 years old when I first saw it on TV recording the audio on my tape recorder..(All we had at the time) the music dialogue and sound effects have lingered in my memory the past 40 odd years, now at 51, and eager to relive my childhood in a matter of days....
You mentioned the Rick Baker commentary. Is it is full movie audio commentary he did, or just an interview? One the Shout Factory website it says, -NEW Audio Interview With Special Makeup Effects Wizard Rick Baker-.
A good question - so I just scanned through it and it is a full commentary with Rick Baker moderated by Justin Beahm - runs through the length of the theatrical cut.
@@JustTheDiscs Oh very nice to know this. Now I am more eager to get the blu ray. Rick Baker is an excellent talker. Have watched some of his convention interviews in regards to King Kong, and he was there through pretty much all of the production, so he has, and would have a lot of good insight. Thank you so much.
@@Kurtiscott Thank you. Now knowing this I am going to get the blu ray. If I can get it for a decent price. Shout Factory releases are known to skyrocket in price as time goes on.
I Pre-ordered King Kong back on 4/1 from Amazon, I should get about 4/17. Like you I remember this movie when I was young, cant wait to see it again. Shout Factory does excellent work !
Thanks Brian. I had seen an ad for this release but hadn’t appreciated that it includes that extended TV cut. Have now pre-ordered and will be very interested to see both the tv cut and all those extras as it will be very interesting to hear more about the production. I’m similar age to you I guess and there is something very special about this era of effects before cgi....also, fun fact found when I was trying to find out more on some aspects of this: Jeff Bridges recalled that when he was standing in the crowd scenes at the base of the Twin Towers he met Philippe Petit (the man who walked the wire between the towers) doing a juggling act as part of his community service sentence
But what most reviewers don’t tell you is that the television is exactly the way that the film ran on television after it’s theatrical run yes with its extended time run but with commercial fade to blacks and at the 90 min point or “the log” scene the film fades out to start completely over again from the beginning in a near 12 minute of recap. Now for those of you my age who grow up in the network television days of the 1970s this was the way longer running films were sectioned for a ‘movie of the week’ showing. So with that said enjoy the rerelease of this film which sort of had a bad reputation since its 76 release but over the years like a lot of other films has gotten a second chance due to renewed interest in newer technology. The boys at shout factory deserves praise once again for a great resurrection. Good review!
Good information. I'll order it. The director of this, John Guillermin, also directed: 'The Blue Max', 'Towering Inferno', and the great 'Tarzan's Greatest Adventure'.
I ordered my copy off Amazon and I’m hoping that it gets here very soon! I’ve been waiting for this movie to get released on Blu-ray or in a 4K format for years. I was six years old when my dad took me to see this movie at the theater. I had the posters, a shirt, the lunchbox, glasses from burger Chef etc. I absolutely love this film. I’m over the top excited about it’s release and glad that Scream Factory made this happen! I’m glad that they used the original poster art for the case. How is the quality of the picture and sound on the theatrical release?
I thought it looked and sounded good to me! I don’t have the greatest sound setup currently (just a sound bar) but the presentation seemed quite nice overall to me. Hope you enjoy when you get it
It would have been better had they just added the additional scenes to the theatrical cut. I like to have it for prestige, but I want the better sound and stuff for the theatrical scenes, and some of the additions are just padding.
the tv cut aired in september 1978 two night event on NBC it was going up against the Battlestar Galactica 3 hour Premier on ABC and I believe the Emmys on CBS
Looks great, can't wait to receive mine. Can finally retire my barebones German Blu ray.... Thanks for the preview in lieu of mine arriving down under! (Which could take a while in the current climate!). I also grew up with this Kong and have a soft spot for this film though of course I love the original as well. Peter Jackson's is OK I guess though it's a tad bloated. But the 70s Kong is the one that gives me the most nostalgic factor as it harks back to my childhood.
I enjoyed the TV cut but I wish they would have just added the extra scenes into the theatrical version using seamless branching, I see no need as to why they put the commercial fades back in and cut out the profanity and gore etc.
I have a very shabby copy of the original television broadcast of jaws includes that extra footage and I really hope Spielberg breaks down and works with scream factory to release that version of the film. I was fortunate enough to come across this copy on VHS that somebody was selling at a star trek convention. The extra footage is really amusing to look at when it is incorporated into the film as oppose Justin added extra you can watch on the side. I just picked up King Kong Today. May 19th 2021. Consequently the day after charls growdon passed away. Thank you for the indebt review this I am rather disappointed to hear they have the recap of the 2nd night but I am impressed to have the additional footage incorporated into the film nonetheless.
I order this directly following the announcement and it should arrive tomorrow. I can't wait to hang that beautiful poster up and watch the TV version for the first time. I don't understand the hate this film gets from some people, I love it.
Love most of the tv cut, some of it is cheesy and unnecessary but also cool. I'd like to ask Rick Baker why he looked at Dwan in a creepy way with big eyes and smile, as a kid at the theater I thought nothing of it but years later I was creeped out and skipped that part
I was in 6th grade when this came out. Saw King Kong 76 during a family reunion. The theater was a huge showplace, wrap around screen. As young as I was, I could not stomach Jessica Lange's awful performance. That and NO DINO'S. Also, the BIG reveal was laughable. I did not like Kong 76. I was terribly disappointed and tried over the years to warm up to it. Every time I have tried to enjoy Kong 76, all the bad aspects of this production keep leaping out of the screen. All that has changed with the Television Cut, with one scene in particular: The Bar Scene. Before Kong carries Dwan off to the Twin Towers, Jack and Dwan have an important exchange that was relegated to the cutting room floor. Yes, she does love Jack, but she is not listening. If Kong dies, there no chance for them. Without this scene, Dwan's tears and cries for Jack during the conclusion are hallow. The TV Cut is a far better viewing experience.
This excellent movie is a perfect antidote to current crap releases. It's not "intellectual" or "progressive"; it's politics (and it's got 'em!) are common sense and timeless (Kong is presented to the public in a giant gasoline pump!).
Yeah I’ll admit that’s a bit of a bummer. I would imagine they attempted to contact her but she may have turned it down (if the message even got to her). Still not a bad overall package but indeed I would have liked to have heard her thoughts as it was her first film
Really don't like this movie at all but for the collection i was almost about to buy it. But as it is strict Reg A i have no need at all for it. Saved some money i guess.

There is some great stuff in the King Kong in NYC sequence that is only in the TV cut!
Absurd that it was cut
Great, great movie. One of the best movies ever made. I agree with dino when he said 'when monkey dies you cry'❤
Yep, he’s not wrong

Unfortunately, a majority of online blu-ray reviews inexplicably fail to comment on the A/V transfer quality ... :(
I was in 6th grade when this came out. Saw King Kong 76 during a family reunion. The theater was a huge showplace, wrap around screen. As young as I was, I could not stomach Jessica Lange's awful performance. That and NO DINO'S. Also, the BIG reveal was laughable. I did not like Kong 76.

So glad the TV was included here
This excellent movie is a perfect antidote to current crap releases. It's not "intellectual" or "progressive"; it's politics (and it's got 'em!) are common sense and timeless (Kong is presented to the public in a giant gasoline pump!).
I find it laughable that the tagline calls it in original film when it's a remake
Real shame no Jessica Lange in any of the special features
Yeah I’ll admit that’s a bit of a bummer. I would imagine they attempted to contact her but she may have turned it down (if the message even got to her). Still not a bad overall package but indeed I would have liked to have heard her thoughts as it was her first film
Great idea not to release it in region B.
Really don't like this movie at all but for the collection i was almost about to buy it.
But as it is strict Reg A i have no need at all for it. Saved some money i guess.
boo not region free
Rick Baker’s take on this movie should be good because he played Kong in the suit. John Barry’s Filmscore is great and memorable 😎
Indeed - excited to hear the full Baker commentary - will be solid I think
