Welcome back to another Halloween Fridays tribute. Today I will be paying tribute to one of the most known and loved movie monsters of all time. He’s big, he’s hairy, and he comes straight from Skull Island. Don’t know who I am talking about yet. It’s of course King Kong. I love King Kong, and for many reasons. He is so iconic, he has inspired countless elements of entertainment. From Donkey Kong, to Mighty Joe Young, to that epic remake by Peter Jackson, King Kong is one of the best movie monsters ever to be seen on film.
The 1933 film is the best one in my opinion, and a lot of people will agree with me. It has that classic movie appeal, as well as great acting, and the best stop motion animation I have ever seen. Can you believe it was made in 1933? The animation is so convincing, it looks like they used a real ape, and real dinosaurs instead of models. But anyway, in this epic 105 minute film, King Kong fights a T-Rex, a Stegosaurus, and a pteranodon. In a deleted scene, King Kong even fights a giant spider, and annihilates that arachnid. In the final minutes of the film, your heart is pounding, as King Kong climbs the Empire State Building in one of the greatest movie finales of all time. As Kong grips Anne with his hand, he violently dashes his other hand at the incoming planes, and he roars at the top of his longs.
As the years went by, King Kong starred in many more films. He even fought Godzilla in King Kong vs. Godzilla from 1962. A remake of the film was made in 1976, and let me tell you, it’s stinks like feces. A stuntman portrays Kong instead of that epic stopmotion animation. A stuntman! And would you believe they made a sequel, King Kong Lives in 1986, that stinks even more, both films portraying Kong in a pitiful and almost befuddled manner. But the 2005 film released by Peter Jackson was great, bringing back that classic Kong appeal we all know and love. Even though Kong is digital, he is still quite charming, like that epic stopmotion animation from 1933.
In the end, when you hear Kong, your are hearing classic. King Kong is timeless, and in my opinion, is the best movie monster of all time. He’s vicious, he’s strong, and he will break the jaw of any dinosaur. Well, I hope you enjoyed part 3 of Halloween Fridays, and hope you will tune in next Friday for a tribute to a monster that’s bitter sweet, but still epic.
