When I was 5 years old I went to New York City with my parents. We went to Times Square and King Kong (1933) was playing. This was around 1953. My parents decided it was a good idea to see the movie. What a mistake for a 5 year old! I was terrified! My Mom said I spent the whole movie standing in the aisle ready to run. The bad part was when we left the theater it was night time and we could see the Empire State building from times square. Remember I was 5 years old. I had nightmares for years. And I mean years! Now as an adult "King Kong" is my favorite scary movie of all time.
You must look back and have a giggle, either way fantastic story, very jealous, kids must love this story! Thank you!
Yeah, it was pretty violent for a film made back in 1933!
Scary but it had a sad ending.
I have a similar story. My dad took me to see King Kong 2005 when I was 8 at the movies and I remember being scared lol.
@@EightWonder369scared when I was 5 i saw that king king was cool and awesome and I got some collectibles in 2016
What a great flick. My Mom saw it when it came out when she was a teenager in 1933. I saw it in the late 60's on TV and have had a copy since starting out in BETA to DVD today.
The fact you correctly called him the king of all monsters has earned you a new subscriber. Godzilla wouldn't even exist as he is if not for the original king of monsters, King Kong! So, it always pleases me when King Kong is recognized as such.
Even though it was kind of an oversight on my part when I created the video, I totally agree :-) I'm not that big of a Godzilla fan, but I have got beaten up pretty good over it lol. Thanks for the subscription and your support :-) Dan
My favorite movie as a kid in the 50's. Plus the original Frankenstein ,"Day the Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds, Forbidden Planet , "Them"
When I was a kid and saw this for the first time in the early’60’s, I cried when Kong fell to his death. For the next fifty years my family would ask me if I still felt sorry for King Kong. The answer is always… yes.
I’ve seen one of the original Kong articulated models when it was on display at the MOMI in London back in the ‘80’s. It was so cool to see it up close and personal. A real piece of cinematic history.
Watching the full studio shot, I can't take my eyes off the Princess Leia/Metal Bikini cardboard standee... RIP, Carrie, you are missed...
Could you imagine looking through a box of stuff and finding something as iconic and historic as the Kong armature?
In 1976 I was at MGM watching the filming of KING KONG. Make-up and effects legend Rick Baker was inside the KK suit, rehearsing the with the “stomp on the village” miniature and later, watching gorgeous Jessica Lange in her red/white striped half shirt and jean shorts. A few years later, when very kind Bob Burns arranged my visit to an EFX shop, a full size animated Kong bust was made for the 50th anniversary of the original, 1933 Kong film. Thanks again, Bob!
No kidding? That's amazing. Did you get any photos?
The log scene haunted me for 20 years.
Interesting that you have a cardboard cutout of Carrie fisher in the background because she once said in an interview that she lived in a house that once belonged to actor Robert Armstrong who was in King Kong it even had a secret room for Alcohol because of Prohibition 😊😊
Recently started watching your videos. Just fantastic!!! You have a really smooth radio announcer voice!!! Super easy and nice to listen to!! Great stuff on LIS. Love all your content!!!
And he also is a Giant!
You do such a great job presenting this show.
OMG, DAN!! HOW is it possible that you have your own life-sized LIS Robot???!!!!! Love the channel! You do an Amazing job!!
Thanks!!
My Great Uncle, Edwin (Eddie Linden) working under O’Brien (Chief Technician) did most of the work with the stop-motion animation along with Walker and Taylor. Still, Kong is a family favorite. ❤️
There's supposed to be a Third 18-inch Armature out there somewhere. For years It was supposed to have been kept by Marcel Delgado, Who held on to It after the Production. That's the One the Smithonion thought they had, But It turned out to be Fake.
As a kid in the late 50's I saw & loved King Kong & Might Joe Young! They were frequently shown, and are still the "Best" versions of any King Kong movies!! Long Live KONG!
Great presentation with a voice designed by the voiceover gods.
The full sized Kong bust was also used in the scene where he first appears to a tied up Fay Wray. Still packs a whallop!!
People actually DID run out of the theatres in fear, back in 1933. And did you notice, the nearly 3D effects, when Kong was trashing that village, and throwing a hut towards the camera!....so innovative for that time! This film deserves to be so well-appreciated...and what a shame, that the impressive Skull Island Wall, was actually burned, during filming of Gone With the Wind!! That Wall would have made an incredible tourist attraction.
My girlfriend and I started watching the show Monarch which led me to pick up all the recent American Godzilla and Kong movies. They are great and bring back fond memories of watching the older ones
Never EVER loan anything to a museum.
Dan....your series is INCREDIBLE!!!! Thank you!!!!
Years ago I was in a used bookstore in Hollywood. I bought a used copy of a book called _Speaking of Silents,_ which contains transcribed interviews with famous actress. After I purchased it, I openned up to the title page. It was autographed by the author, Willam Drew, to Fay Wray!!! How cool is that?
That is massively cool! Fay Wray is my favorite Hollywood Crush...So beautiful, and very vibrant and creative in her later years...She lived to the age of 96. She was a much better actress than the rest of the so-called "scream queens" of the era. Her career started way back in 1925...and she eventually showed up on TV shows, like Perry Mason, etc...She did not retain her incredible, sexy looks as an older woman, but did have a nice, "mature" look about her.
I'm getting pretty old and King Kong was already a very old movie when I watched it on television as a kid. It was supremely entertaining and it was fun to imagine just how blown away people at the time must have been! Truly a part of American history. (And world history most likely. It would be interesting to hear the effect it had on the world if any.)
I never looked into the foreign marketplace. That's a great idea :-) thanks for reaching out, Dan :-)
@@MoviesMusicMonsters That's what I'm here for! 😁🖖
It's the perfect movie. Greatest movie ever made. Perfectly executed, edited, paced. Never a dull moment, it keeps your attention. You stay in it the whole time. My favorite movie in case you can't tell.
Love the B9 behind you . :)))
Hey thanks so much :-) I built in myself. There is a video on my Channel about how I built him :-) hope you had a great christmas, Dan
What a great and interesting channel you have!
I love the 1933 King Kong!
Me too!
Haruo Nakajima played Gojira (Godzilla) in the 1954 movie. Nakajima died 2017frm pneumonia (he was 88).
Man, I loved King Kong and Mighty Joe Young when I was a kid. I can remember still watching all the great monster movies on Saturday when they aired. I still miss my 13 inch B/W with rabbit ears!! Boy, those were the days!! I'm still a big Ray Harryhousen fan. That's been almost 5 decades ago. Time sure flys.😢
That bare armature is terrifying. Some sort of ape terminator.
I believe the armature that the Smithsonian had was the one from the famous Volkswagen commercial that only aired one time in the early 70's.
You know what? I think you're right. I remember that now. The problem is, they initially advertised it as an authentic prop from the 1933 movie. I'm not sure if it's still there or not. Thanks for writing, Dan
I went to a star wars exhibit. All they had of the prequels were the costumes because the sfx were all digital. This was quite heartbreaking.
This is a great history. I had toured Forry Ackerman's mansion in LA and thought I recalled seeing a King Kong but was not 18" tall. He definitely had some of the Willis O'brian dinosaurs (and Martian ship from War of the Worlds, and an original Maria from Metropolis). Maybe I am having a false memory re the Kong. Have to dig thru my foto archives... It was a real mecca for fans, too bad, all gone now.
Wow let me know if you find those photos :-)
Hey Dan found em. So let me know how you want me to send them to you.@@MoviesMusicMonsters
"You picked a fine time to leave me, Fay Wray!
New York's in an uproar,
There's planes on their way . . !"
I just found this channel and I absolutely love it. The details about what has happened to so many pieces of movie and TV history has always intrigued me. Another reason I like it so much is that while watching the videos I think of my best friend Bill who passed away from cancer over four years ago. He was a huge movie buff and I know he would also enjoy this channel. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thank you, Dan! Kong was always a welcome featured personality when I bought Famous Monsters of Filmland magazines! I wish that I still had them.
Hey, thanks for the support :-) you can get them on eBay pretty cheap :-) take care hope you had a great christmas, Dan :-)
The True King of the Monsters King Kong always has and always will be my favorite Monster along with karloffs Frankenstein Great Video Dan !😎👍❤💯
my favorite King Kong movie is King Kong Escspes (1968)where Kong battles a giant Robot version of himself, Mechani Kong. I met Linda MIller who played Suan.
I haven't seen that one in forever :-) I'll check it out :-) thanks Dan
@@MoviesMusicMonsters it seemed to be always on Sunday afternoons when i was a teenager....i really grew to appreciate it more when I got older especially after I got to meet Linda MIller at Galaxy con Richmond a couple of years ago. Its got Dr Who who wants Kong to dig up Element x to take control of the world with the mysterious Madame Prianna and of course Rhodes Reason who plays the Commander of a UN sanctioned exploratory submarine who opposes Dr Who's congest of the world using elementx and the big fight between Dr Who's mechanical duplicate of King Kong in Toyoko.
It's batsh*t bonkers. Not a "serious" film, clearly made for kids, but loads of fun.
@@lunamotionproductions9559 what’s a serious film about king kong? Give me a break!
*Susan
King Kong, the first great monster of the movies (even before Godzilla)! Thanks
Thats why Kong is King of the monsters not Godzilla
I used to own the Armature replica from sideshow collectibles. I wish a company would offer an 18-inch replica of the finished model. It wouldn't have to be articulated but even a statue with fur would be nice
Would love a tour of the collectibles in your studio
That's outstanding :-) I certainly wish I could afford one of those :-) I'll be doing a studio tour soon :-) Dan
Keep up the good work dan
3:50 Sorry to have to correct you and I don't know where you heard that, but the deleted footage wasn't "edited for TV" but had been deleted soon after the 1933 premiere mostly because of the Production Code and one or two because RKO thought they were too gruesome (The Spider Pit sequence):
The Brontosaurus mauling crewmen in the water, chasing one up a tree and killing him.
Kong undressing Ann Darrow and sniffing his fingers.
Kong biting and stepping on natives when he attacks the village.
Kong biting a man in New York.
Kong mistaking a sleeping woman for Ann and dropping her to her death, after realizing his mistake.
This deleted footage was thought lost until a 16mm print was found in 1969 and efforts were started to cut the scenes back in. See Ray Morton's 2005 book, _King Kong: The History of a Movie Icon From Fay Wray to Peter Jackson,_
One thing the censors missed-I do not know how! is the sexy scene, when Fay Wray comes up, out of the water, after that rope sequence...she shows us her ample breasts, just for one second or so...amazing, for that era!
GREAT VIDEO!! AND INFO.
Me too:-) I always felt bad for the big guy :-) hope you had a great christmas, Dan
Growing up in the 1970s on what was called WOR TV Channel 9 in NYC, I would look forward to Thanksgiving to see King Kong son of Kong and Mighty Joe Young. The next day would be Godzilla films. It's definitely an all-time classic. Have you ever seen the colorized version of this? I thought it was decent. You have a great studio, and I appreciate seeing an all-time favorite movie of the horror genre being reviewed of the facts you pointed out.
Okay, that is absolutely amazing. I grew up in the Buffalo New York area and that was the exact same channel, channel 9, out of new york, that I watched King Kong on as a kid. That is so cool:-) hope you had a great holiday, Dan
@@MoviesMusicMonsters I grew up in the Bronx. The holiday was OK.
Definitely not that Kong!!😂 Surely not the high point of his career, though the Kiaju movies deserve a video of their own. Another cool video Dan!👍👍
Hey, thank you so much :-) hope you had a great Christmas :-) Dan
I laughed out loud at "Ten thousand! We could almost buy our own ship for that!"
“Well who’s gonna fly it kid? You?”
@@Deercollopa "You bet I could, I am not such a bad pilot myself".
Nothing bad about a man in a monster costume. Hail Godzilla!!! lol
I was able to see Kong at Movie World when I was a child. I recall it being an eclectic collection of movie props scattered around a large building. Wish I had been more appreciative on what I was seeing
Great content! I’m watching all of these now!
Someone might have already spotted this but I do believe that when you mentioned Phil Kellison, the pictures you showed were of David Allen while he was animating his Kong VW commercial.
Again, great content! Keep it going!
I love these "What happened to..." videos. Kong and Robby were HUGE influences on me. Please do more. How about the spaceships from Forbidden Planet or Lost in Space? or any of Ray Harryhousen's models.
Hey, I got a whole bunch of new video plans for the upcoming year. Doing the research now :-) thanks so much for your support, hope you had a great Christmas, Dan :-)
@@MoviesMusicMonsters Can't wait. I'm one of late subs. I just found you a few days ago. Great channel. Thanks for all your work.
OUTSTANDING presentation!
Hey, thank you so much I really appreciate the support :-) hope you had a great Christmas :-) Dan
4 days later and now almost 11k!
Thank you for doing this video. The original Kong Kong movie is amazing. FYI, you showed pictures of David Allen when talking about Phil Kellison.
Yeah, I realize that after the fact. My bad. Thanks for the great comments :-)
The thing about the 1976 version of K.K. you should never forget is that it features the Twin Towers (WTC).
I just saw it few nights ago and its sad seeing the towers.
What ever happened to The Creature from the Black Lagoon?
Lots of dry rot.
He's president now
@@jameswesterman9283
you are pitiful
That’s hilarious
@@jameswesterman9283 I thought that was the mummy...
About 10 or 12 years ago or so, I went to a convention in Kentucky called Wonderfest. That was like the third year I was able to go and Bob Burns had Kong there to show him.
When Bob Burns was in better health, he went to a lot of conventions. In the 90's he was going to Wonderfest in KY. One year he brought Kong and everyone got to see AND touch the armature and take pics. Bob has always been such a great guy. One year he wore his Tracy outfit and had blast at the WF show on Saturday night. It was the last time he was able to perform as Tracy. I have great video of that. I also made Bob a custom 8" Mego Bob Burns and Tracy box set for his birthday at WF one year. He was very touched.
The photo at 6:40 shows animator JIM DANFORTH, but we get the impression that it's Phil Kellison. Actually, it was Hollywood SFX guy Howard Anderson who discovered the Kong armatures (both?) in the RKO prop room around 1960. Anderson and Kellison intended to use the armatures in their big, upcoming production "Jack the Giant Killer' (which soon was farmed out to the legendary "Projects Unlimited" company). Kellison stripped down the "round-face" armature (still covered with rotting Son of Kong rubber and fur), but "found that the armatures were too antique. The (1933) machine work had been crude, and most of the parts were worn."
Quote above taken from the FABULOUS, IN-DEPTH, MUST HAVE article on the making of "Jack" (Starlog Magazine's "CINEMAGIC" magazine, issue #34, spring, 1986). Every serious "old-world" SFX guy should have a copy. Several photos of Kellison (one of them taken at the same session as your 6:52 image), and TONS of great info on "Jack", including Kellison's memories. Article by Paul Mandell. LR
Actually, a tiny bit of Kong wound up in the Jack movie -- just a little finger, which was borrowed from the armature but never returned. Jim Danforth has published his memoirs in a gigantic three volume CD set (no printed book copies were made). They are absolutely terrific, crammed with highly detailed stories about every job he ever worked on. "Dinosaurs, Dragons and Drama." It's sold by the mail order company Creature Features in LA. I don't think any more are going to press so get it while you can.
Also worth noting, the re-release of the VERY FINEST 3 volume set of Harryhausen books, "Ray Harryhausen: Master of the Majicks" is being readied for reprinting as of January/2024. Even if you have the previous 3 volume set, the updates are so voluminous that it could practically be called a new release. Available from Archive Editions. They are only printing enough to fulfill pre-orders. Majicks is bound to sell out immediately, so look them up and place your order. (Yes, I'm friends with the people involved with these books but I don't see a dime, I just want to get the info OUT THERE for interested parties.)
Delightful! You really need to interview Charles Band about David Allen.
Great suggestion thank you :-)
@@MoviesMusicMonsters 1978 Laserblast.
These stories are great...and so is the teller. Thanks, Dan.
Awesome channel. Glad I'm following. Great timing to end my year watching this channel.
The edited violent shots and one risqué scene (Kong peeling off Ann's clothes) were cut before television - since KONG was shot during the Pre-Code period, all of that was allowed (save for RKO demanding the extraction of the infamous "Spider Pit" sequence, which is thought to be lost). The aforementioned scenes were cut during the years when the Production Code was seriously being enforced for subsequent re-releases in the 1940s-1950s. Janus Films was able to restore the film for a re-release in 1970. But, the missing elements were taken from a 16mm print. In the 1980s, while an uncut 35mm print was found in the UK, the search continued for better sources for the missing footage. Finally, in 2005, Warner Brothers gave the film a much-needed 4K restoration and also reinstated the opening Overture from the original release.
Wow :-) great information. I didn't know a lot of that thank you so much :-) Dan
@@MoviesMusicMonsters thanks for producing such great and interesting content! BTW, I brought the original Godzilla suit actor, Haruo Nakajima, to Monsterpalooza in 2011, and Bob Burns was there with his Kong armature. Bob wanted to meet him, came to our panel, so we arranged a meeting photo-op of Nakajima with Burns and the armature! Nakajima, by the way, played Kong in KING KONG ESCAPES. We also had photo ops with Nakajima and Bert I. Gordon (Mr. BIG) and Ricou Browning. Gordon directed many giant monster movies in the '50s (obviously) and Browning portrayed the Gill-Man in 1954 (of course), the same year that Nakajima played Godzilla for the first time. It was a magical weekend! Keep up the fantastic work! We are kindred spirits!!
@@MoviesMusicMonsters as an aside, in 1984, Bob Burns told us about his experience discovering the Godzilla and Anguirus suits in crates at Howard Anderson Company, when Burns and Paul Blaisdell were filming the saucer scenes for INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN in 1957. As they ducked behind some crates for cover when they blew up the saucer model, Bob saw that they had Japanese writing on them. So, he and Blaisdell opened them up - were flabbergasted - and tried on the suits. They were shipped to Howard Anderson to shoot addition scenes for a AB-PT production taking the effects footage from GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN and shooting scenes with American actors and more Godzilla footage for a monster picture to be titled, "The Volcano Monsters," written by Ib Melchior. Burns has no idea whatever happened to those suits, although Eric Hoffman (who wrote the "Professor Gruebeard" column for "Famous Monsters of Filmland" magazine) told me in 1979 that someone in Los Angeles owned a "real Godzilla suit." Interestingly, Melchior infamously sued Irwin Allen for allegedly stealing his screenplay for "Space Family Robinson." When New Line Cinema produced the LOST IN SPACE feature film, they agreed to pay him $75,000 and a production bonus of $15,000. Godzilla and the Space Family Robison are forever strange bedfellows...
It was a good restoration but they digitally painted out some of the support rods that were visible in all previous prints, just for a frame here and there. What were they thinking? That one frame of this curious artifact was ruining the illusion? Silly.
Nice to see your channel taking off Dan your videos are very entertaining .
Hey, thanks so much I really appreciate it :-) hope you had a great christmas. Dan :-)
Thanks, Dan!
You are so welcome :-) thanks for the support :-) Dan
I've never understood why Peter Jackson, who clearly knows Kong, decided to change him into a giant gorilla.
I wondered that too. Kong was a giant ape species of his own. There was never any mention of him being a gorilla. I just think a lot of people just assumed that.
I think it’s because he wanted Kong to stand out from the crowd when it came to ape like monsters.
Fascinating! Interesting to hear that an established museum like the Smithsonian would resort to creating a replica Kong armature and claim that it's real. I saw what I believe was Bob Burns' armature (it might have been the prototype now after watching this) at an exhibit for Hollywood props many years ago and it was very cool to see. Love your channel! I'm not surprised that it's grown so fast. This stuff is right up my alley! Thank you!
Oh my gosh that's amazing :-) do you have any photos? Thanks for the great comments I appreciate the support. Dan :-)
@MediaMasterDesign Unfortunately they wouldn't let us take pictures. 🤬 They also had the spinning head Linda Blair figure from Exorcist, the mother ship from Close Encounters, C-3P0, Darth Vader, a mechanical wolf from Wolfen and so many amazing pieces.
There was a saying back in the day, "How tall was King Kong? As tall as Fay Wray's knees."
Good stuff Dan, as always, very informative!
Great video! But the guy you are showing animating a color King Kong is Dave Allen, who made a Volkswagen commercial in the early 70's.
Yikes. I thought it was the other guy, that's what Google said LOL never trust the internet. Thanks for pointing that out I appreciate it :-) hope you had a great christmas, Dan
Can you cover the original 1954 Godzilla suit?
I'm definitely going to be doing some Godzilla stuff this year :-) thanks for the support. Dan :-)
Another fantastic video, thanks man! I love the original Kong movie, proper escapism with heart.
Hey, thanks so much I appreciate the support :-) hope you had a great christmas, Dan
I absolutely love your channel! All your videos are well researched and polished! Worthy of Travel Channel!
Hey, thank you so very much for the support :-) hope you had a great christmas, Dan :-)
Fantastic! Thank you and I appreciate all the time that you spent to put this together. Very informative!
Hey, thank you so much. Your comments are so appreciated. :-) Dan
THAT WAS effing cool!!
So much for the Smithsonian being the Worlds foremost museum....
I've heard a lot of horror stories about how they treat their props. When Kevin Burns was alive, he was the guy who owned the original loss of space robot, he would often tell me they wanted to display the robot, but he wouldn't let them because they just don't treat the stuff very good. Thanks for writing :-) Dan
@@MoviesMusicMonsters wow. I didnt know they ever had any interst in anything from Lost in Space at all....and to think i always thought that the LIS Robot would have made a good home at the Smithsonian. of course, Gene Roddenbery often over bragged about how the original Enterprise model was at the so called World's Foremost museum...but based on what you said, im glad they didnt get their hands on it!
Hey Dan! I subscribed to your channel because you are great at what you do.
My Father told me that people ran out of the theater when Kong first appeared.
I'm surprised that Forrest J Ackerman never acquired any of the two Kongs.
Dan, awesome channel and great content. I'm spreading the word!
Hey, thank you so much I really appreciate it :-) Dan
Thank you for the history lessons. ❤
Happy New Year from a new subscriber!
Amazing video that just popped up on my feed and I'm glad it did
Hey, thank you so much for the kind words and support. Truly appreciate it. Hope you had a great new year, Dan :-)
His car ad is fantastic. Closest I’ve seen to the ‘33. I’m in the UK but grew up like you fellas on old Horror and Sci-Fi movies, Irwin Allen, OUTER LIMITS, NIGHT GALLERY and home grown stuff too like DR WHO and THUNDERBIRDS. Your films always hit the mark. Thank you mate.
Hello again from Eugene Oregon! thanks for great info and pictures , looking forward to more!
Thanks Dan. One of the greatest. What an amazing film to pull off in the 30's. I've always wondered about the fur flickering. Makes sense now. 😮
Thanks for writing :-) thanks for the support :-) Dan
Love your stuff Dan. Keep it coming!!!
Oh no you didnt!!
Classic classic classic !
Keep up the good work Dan!
My favorite scene in King Kong doesn't even have King Kong in the scene. It's the scene where Carl Denham is trying to convince Ann Darrow to come with him. Just two people talking to each other and it's one of the greatest movie scenes of all time.
I totally agree. Such great writing and acting in that scene :-)
That scene with the beautiful Fay 8:17 Ray trying to steal a bit of fruit and with Carl Denham staring at his nearly fainted fem fatal Ann Darrow . There is real chemistry between these two actors. And in basically 2 sentences... Carl denim has to basically sell the whole premise of the movie and the adventure. 😢😊 My other favorite scene is what we call a movie in a movie when Gorgeous Fay Ray in full white medieval princess costume on the deck of the ship and Director Dunham gets Ann to Screammmm for her life. I love her fullout, blood curdeling scream of absolute terror. By this scene every man on board is in love with and worried about what might happen to Ann.
Hello Dan, Thanks for this interesting story on King Kong. Another great video and remembering these great classics and keeping its history alive.
I heard of a guy who re-created the entire film using modern cameras and equipment , but did the effects all as they were done in camera originally. Even creating his own armatures. Have you heard anything about this fella . I saw a documentary once in a DVD set,
I just discovered your channel and I gotta say this is so cool. Definitely subscribed to see more like this.
Chads who respect Kong and Gojira 🍷🗿
2021 ahh comment 😭🙏
Love your narratiin voice!!! And great insights!!! Thank you!!
I find it amazing how old King Kong’s legacy is, it’s amazing to think just how much of an impact King Kong had on the world and especially in the movie industry since it inspired King Kong. I honestly love to think about just how much of a Legend King Kong came to be, I can truly say he’s one of the most iconic Movie Monsters I’ve ever seen as of today.
Excellent analysis and oh so true :-) what did you think of the Peter Jackson digital remake? Dan
@@MoviesMusicMonsters I truly thought Peter Jackson knew what he was doing with King Kong, while I don’t really like how he set up a blue ray edition with extra scenes like the sea monster or the Styraccosaurus, I truly think the entire project was amazing in and of itself, I think it’d be foolish to not make a Son of Kong sequel for the movie, just letting the material rot isn’t a good idea.
Thanks ace vid may your subscribers grow greatly. More please!
I love your work. Please keep it up.
I am so glad I found your channel! I absolutely love all the content you present. It’s everything I love about movies! Your knowledge on every topic is “impressive, most impressive!” 👍
Hey, thank you so much :-) more videos to come :-) I truly appreciate the support :-) hope you had a great christmas, Dan
Also heard the meat eater or tripod trex from 1033 King Kong design inspired the design gorosaurus from King Kong escapes
Great video
Thanks Max! I got your email... I'll be in touch!
I subbed about 4 hours ago and the channel had about 55. something K subs. Now, it's already 56.1K It's blowing up! Congrats Dan! As an early Gen Xer, I am really enjoying the content!
Actually, I love all 3 King Kong films! *** 1933: Timeless classic! *** 1976: Good remake, in color, awesome 2,35:1 aspect ratio, plus of course the hottest woman on the planet: Jessica Lange! *** 2005: A very big budget remake and luckily: dinosaurs again!
I still wonder if one day the Lost Spider Pit Sequence will show up.
That impulsive producer guy, actually decided to trash that scene, feeling that it somehow broke the continuity of the film...What a bad decision!
