King Kong
Directed by Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack
Adventurous filmmaker Carl Denham sets out to produce a motion picture unlike anything the world has seen before. Alongside his leading lady Ann Darrow and his first mate Jack Driscoll, they arrive on an island and discover a legendary creature said to be neither beast nor man. Denham captures the monster to be displayed on Broadway as King Kong, the eighth wonder of the world. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →They let the King Kong guy do whatever he wants and he made a John Carpenter movie that starts off by saying “the United Snakes of Amerikkka is and always has been a Nazi state”
neutral · AI labelView post →King Kong. Milo Manara. 1985. #comics #art #film
neutral · AI labelView post →This is my favorite movie with King Kong because it’s good but also every tertiary character is played by an improv comedy person from an Adult Swim show that would air at 2 in the morning.
positive · AI labelView post →King Kong is a movie about how your skills as a film director don't necessarily translate to success on Broadway

positive · AI labelView post →We are in the most stupid timeline, think of a very bad King Kong vs Godzilla movie. I think it’s time for the TVA to intervene www.axios.com/2024/12/26/m...
neutral · AI labelView post →Even the way people react to him is like this. King Kong gets the whole twas beauty that felled this great land ape emotive speech thing but every Godzilla movie has people simply pointing at Godzilla going “hey! It’s Godzilla!”
neutral · AI labelView post →#nowwatching King Kong vs Godzilla on Blu-ray. Confession time….I’ve never seen this movie. Partly because of how rough the suits looked and as a kid I was all Big G and like how did Kong get top billing. Anyway, I’m changing that now! #godzilla #kingkong #monstermarchmadness #kaijukliq
neutral · AI labelView post →Took care of a big and fast bug with many legs in the room. I think I have Peter Jackson’s King Kong to blame for me being so freaked out at many bugs. Skull Island’s insects were no joke in that movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →John Conrad Berkey’s utterly fabulous original art for a Japanese movie poster promoting 1976’s “King Kong”.
neutral · AI labelView post →When two characters in a movie flirt with each other? They should do that on their own time. Especially when King Kong is out and about
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my favorite things for people to learn is Godzilla fought King Kong at the same point in his Toho film series as in the Monsterverse. (Film 3.) It feels like surely the Kong crossover would come when out of ideas. Nope. Third at bat, they tried to make Godzilla an icon on Kong’s level.

neutral · AI labelView post →A six-part retelling of “King Kong” in comic strip form, drawn by Glenn Cravath, first appeared on April 12, 1933. (The film had just opened nationwide, and this strip was part of the promotional push.) If you’ve never seen the movie, the strips contain spoilers.

neutral · AI labelView post →Fucking disgusts me that a King Kong movie these days is King Kong being friends with some Brazilian child. King Kong is about a guy killing every fighter pilot he can

neutral · AI labelView post →I finally saw GODZILLA MINUS ONE and was knocked out. I can't stand American Godzilla movies, especially the ludicrous team-ups with King Kong. GODZILLA MINUS ONE brings back the terror of the original Japanese film with real human characters. It's a must see.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, that is the poster to the 1965 Indian film, TARZAN AND KING KONG. Yes, it's an action/adventure film starring Tarzan, a lust-filled gorilla, Indian wresters, and much more. Yes, the female wrestler is Christine Keeler. Yes, the Christine Keeler of the Profumo Affair.
