Nothing but a campy '70s disaster movie

"There is a girl out there who might be running for her life from some gigantic turned-on ape."

Almost three decades before Peter Jackson re-imagined 1933's King Kong for a new generation of filmgoers, Italian B-movie producer Dino De Laurentiis had the same idea. Naturally, though, due to the filmmaking technology of the period, 1976's King Kong looks subpar compared to Peter Jacks... read more

I still have to see the original classic but, in the mean time, I managed to see this second version. Honestly, it could have been worse. I thought Jessica Lange provided a good perfomance and she was definitely the most positive aspect of this picture. A part from that, it is actually quite similar to all the remakes that come out nowadays. It has completely no soul, it doesn't add anything to th... read more

Favourite Films - Rewatch 2012/2013 (8 movies items)

" Date watched: 10th January, 2013 Why did I like this? I have a fond memory of watching this film when I was younger. I liked the adventure. I liked the drama. I felt sorry for Kong when he was captured. I liked the "effects" of the time (I grew up watching non-CGI effects and to be honest I still kinda prefer them. I know they can look dated nowadays though...) Is it still a favourite?: A fond memory, yes. A "must-watch favourite film of all time"? No, I don't think so. Watching this"

" TV / REWATCH Date watched: 10th January, 2013 Project: Favourites Why?: This one I have seen several times but I honestly can't remember the last time I did. I mark it as a favourite because I remember the first time I saw it as a youngster. It was King Kong's battle with the snake that stuck in my memory. Seeing the snake defeated seemed to stick in the memory. I was kinda in love with Jeff Bridges back then too (still am a bit). Director: John Guillermin Thoughts: See my Favourites pr"

"I vaguely remember catching this one on TV years ago, and the only thing that really stuck with me was that Jessica Lange was in it. Now that I've re-watched it I think I know why. Aside from her looking beautiful from start to finish, there's not a lot worth remembering from the film. It was entertaining to see a young Jeff Bridges looking very Dude (about 20 years before he'd play that role), & the rest of the cast commits themselves as best they can. Unfortunately, the sense of fun & advent"
