I love all of the King Kong build up to this 70s era version. I've been wanting to see this one again and get a copy on Blu-Ray which isn't out there I don't believe.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to the King Kong review.
I was very disappointed in this King Kong remake. IIRC the scene in that last card was filmed at Shea Stadium, home of the Mets (10 in a row!). That's all I liked about the movie. Oh, and Lange's boobies ,which I enjoyed but they really had no place in the flick. And I did like that they used the Trade Center, and now that's particularly nostalgic.
