Everything Wrong With King Kong 1976 In 23 Minutes or Less
Фильм және анимация
King Kong has had many movie adaptations over the years. As a new Kong/Godzilla romp heads our way in theaters, we went back looking for sins in the 1976 version. There were lots!

In all productions of King Kong, they skip that part. Because obviously they do. I guess showing us a bunch of guys digging trenches underneath an unconscious gorilla to get ropes underneath to air lift him out isn't exciting enough. I'd really enjoy a video by a biologist explaining how animal tissues can't actually be so big, and why an 80 ft tall gorilla would be impossible. That would be more interesting than any iteration we've had of a giant monkey.

If you build a giant wall to keep a giant ape out of your village, why in the hell would you build a door large enough for it to walk through? Just build a normal size door to take your sacrifices through. That makes no damn sense.

How dare you sin "Choose your own adventure" books.
Wow, I always thought this was an average 80s movie, but it was actually an above average 70s film!
I think the reason the reporters ran up to Dwan is because they used what happened to her on the island to help sell the show. That might be the only thing about this movie that makes sense. I saw this at a drive-in with my parents when I was a toddler. Imagine one of your earliest memories in life being Charles Grodin being stepped on by a giant ape.
I saw this when i was eight or nine. I remember leaving the theater sobbing that they killed the ape even though I already knew the story.
As a 17 year old, it was very difficult to choose between Jessica or Farrah. Looking back, Jessica was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
CinemaSins built my hotrod!
This movie was my introduction to King Kong. In fact, I was actually on the ride Kongfrontation which was the first time I ever saw Kong.
SSNs were not issued according to where you were born, as is commonly believed, but based on where you lived when your SSN was applied for.
This isn't a King Kong movie, it's Dwan's Casting Couch video.
First King Kong movie I saw and being a little kid I cried my eyes out when Kong dies.
You missed a single for How did Kong's body not explode like a water balloon showering the crowd with Kong gore.
What I remember more than the movie was the relentless promotion on television showing off that ridiculous squishy mechanical King Kong "hand" that did nothing but awkwardly grab things and was supposed to the state of the art of special effects in Hollywood.
It's crazy that the effects in the original movie hold up better than the effects in this film made 43 years later.
I just think about the dude who played Kong inside the suit. His resume would look something like this: "....other accolades include being body double for Dino Dr Laurentis' "King Kong" "You got the job man!"
21:07 Jeremy argues an ape, the king of the apes nonetheless, can't climb. 😅
Not to be a simp, but if 1976 Jessica Lange tells me I'm an Aries then I'm goddamn growing horns and yeeting trolls off bridges.
The King Kong movie I grew up watching. Still something of a guilty pleasure!!
Okay, Lynda Carter in WW was my first and forever crush, but Jessica was the first alternative goddess that caused me divided feelings... totally with Big Monkey on this one. (Think of it, tall, dark, royalty and willing to die for his lady...)

It always amazes me that in movies like this and the Peter Jackson version, someone doesn't speak up and say that over 90 minutes of normal stuff happening before getting to the main attraction is WAY too long to wait.
One of the best you've made. Keep up your great work!
That crazy run that Jessica Lang does on the beach is just alarming. It looks like her limbs are all going to fly off in different directions. I rewatch it about a million times out of sheer morbid fascination. Girl can’t run.
I was just waking up and drowsy and when looked at the thumbnail i thought Kong was holding a gun lol
Oopsies: The first three digits of your SSN used to be where you first obtained one, not where you were born, his would be where he obtained one.

Great recap. 👍Had it on VHS as kid, 30 years ago, so much nostalgia. Back then, I was already annoyed by the lack of rationality and how "blond" the blond was. 🤭
Excellent video
If I were to ever interview Jeff Bridges, I'd love to know what role sticks out in HIS mind. King Kong? Tron? "The Dude"? "Rooster Cogburn"? Iron Man? Blown Away? I wonder what sticks out in his memory. That would be a cool conversation. He would be a great interview, if he was comfortable with the question.
Oh nun waiting on the old Godzilla movies next cuz boy
I would love to see you do the sequel with Linda Hamilton, "King Kong Lives." One of those "wait - they made a sequel to that?" movies.
Now CinemaSins needs to do King Kong Lives (the sequel).
I just saw this with the 'FREE KZread Movies and TV' and its enthusiastic comment section, and this Vid should be: "Everything *RIGHT* with Kong'76 in 30min or more".🦍
I first saw it on TV, I believe at age 4. I liked it, and while I was aware of the 1933 version, I never got a chance until my parents got basic cable so I could watch it on AMC (back when it was what TMC is now) when I was 16. So I built up enough nostalgia to like this still. Saw the 1933 version for the first time in decades, and was reminded of how much more mean-spirited Kong is in that.

If you remember Mad Magazine, IN 1977 there was a cover with Jessica Lange sitting in the palm of his hand knitting giant baby booties, and he was scratching his head in confusion.
I loved this movie as a kid and because I was a kid, I never noticed that main female lead was high as a kite when she recorded this lol
