King Kong Lives Reviews
King Kong Lives... And The Audience Dies!
Turns out Kong didn't die at the foot of the World Trade Center. He's been kept alive (though in a coma) in a University lab for the last ten years. Linda Hamilton has designed a huge artificial heart for him, but he needs a massive blood transfusion. By lucky coincidence, adventurer Brian Kerwin is wandering around a set that is supposed to be Borneo, and he stumbles upon a female Kong. A half-dozen tribesmen with blowdarts promptly sedate her (a simple solution to monster troubles that will evade the US Army for the rest of the movie), and she is shipped off to the States for the most unintentionally hilarious surgery scene ever committed to celluloid. Before long, the two apes escape, and many groan-inducing adventures follow, as the army, led by a psychotic colonel, chase after the monsters.
This is perhaps the most perfect film example of the adding insult to injury (the injury being the 1976 remake). Each succeeding second of the film is more embarrassing than the last. In terms of camp value, the flick is hard to beat, even as it desecrates a legend. The special effects are quite cheesy, and in fact look far less convincing than those from the 1933 original. For connoisseurs of serious trash only.
The trash does, however, come in a pretty nice sound package (both 5.1 and 2.0). The music is thunderous, and the environmental effects are pretty solid for 1986 release. A very definite step up from the VHS release, as the film's 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen aspect is preserved.
Spectacularly bad in every conceivable way (and even in some fairly inconceivable ways), and thus rather entertaining.
King Kong lives
So they decided to bring King kong 1976 back and it kinda wasnt a very good idea this was a sad sequal King kong falls in love with his own kind and has a baby but kong only knows his son for a few seconds then dies.Give this movie a shot.
