	Cool Cinema Trash.com: King Kong (1976)
		Kong, whose cage is shrouded in a slipcover resembling a Petrox gas pump, is wheeled out and put on display.
		A special note for pause button enthusiasts: When Kong is in close-up, the camera flashes from the reporters reveal the roof of the soundstage on which the scene was shot.
		Kong swims the East river, makes his way into Manhattan, finds Lange and takes her to the one tourist destination that reminds him most of home, the World Trade Center.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - King Kong (1976)
		King Kong '76 follows the plot of the original quite closely, with only a few changes.
		There are moments in which Kong is more alive and believable than his human co-stars, but occasionally a badly matted shot or a cut to the stiff, mechanical full-size version will ruin the illusion.
		Despite the bloody helicopter attack on Kong at the climax and the movie's inevitable failure at the box office, this movie had a happy ending for nearly everyone involved.

	KING KONG (1976)
		For her part, she seems to have forgiven Kong his lustful kidnapping exploits and is excited at the prospect of finally receiving her place in the spotlight – even if she has to share it with a giant monkey.
		It turns out that Kong is a country boy at heart and is none to pleased with his visit to the city.
		Kong looked more realistic in the original version and that film is over 70 years old.

	Amazon.co.uk: King Kong [1976]: DVD: Jeff Bridges,Charles Grodin,Jessica Lange,John Randolph,Rene Auberjonois,Julius ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		KING KONG is a remake of the 1933 classic about a giant ape from a lost world who falls in love with a beautiful woman (Jessica Lange) who has been kidnapped by native tribespeople as a sacrifice.
		Fortunately, though, the film does succeed (thanks largely to the close-up shots of Kong's dramatic performance) in generating loads of sympathy for the ape and thus pulling off the ending as the great tragedy that it was and is. King Kong, in both its 1933 and 1976 incarnations, is a very sad film.
		Kong is a unique monster character whose story always manages to touch the heart, even in an overblown, frankly weird adaptation such as this one.

		King Kong (1976)was a huge hit back in the seventies--I know because I was there, I saw the frenzy, I remember the crowded theaters.
		Kong 76 could have probably been an even bigger hit than it was if the filmmakers had played it safe and hadn't gone out of their way to make a film so stubbornly odd.
		King Kong 76 is a great example of anarchic postmodernism being perfectly wed to the staunch formalism of good storytelling.

		King Kong is one of Hollywood's most legendary creations, from the groundbreaking 1933 original to the highly anticipated Peter Jackson remake.
		In 1976 producer Dino De Laurentiis struck box-office gold with his own incarnation of the story, starring Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange, and a colossal forty-foot model of Kong.
		King Kong (1976) is an example of a soundtrack where the album rights are held by a different corporate family than that which distributed the film itself; therefore, we are unable to expand or remix the music beyond the original LP edition.

	King Kong (The 70's remake can't Stomp the Original!)
		Uber-super-ultra-mega-ok-Producer Extraordinaire Dino De Laurentiis reportedly opted out of using Dinosaurs in his 1976 remake of the ground breaking classic King Kong because he wanted this portrayal of Kong to be more realistic and true to life.
		They ought to have a snapshot of that scene on the Webster's Dictionary definition of "contrived", especially because she seems so very unperturbed to be the sole survivor of an exploded yacht filled with several hundred of her closest friends.
		Gifted Make-Up guru Rick Baker (who was also the man in the King Kong suit) does a hell of a job bringing the broad-browed puss of the Double K to life and adds the humanity of his own eyes to the performance.

	DVD Review - King Kong (1976)
		On the island, we find an almost prehistoric clan of natives that worship Kong as a god, and who are about to sacrifice a young woman.
		What happens next, is a love affair that made sense to boys under 14, while their fathers were no doubt thinking: "He's just too big for her methinks." The search for Lange is on.
		Kong, of course, is captured, brought to New York, and then things just go from bad to worse for our big hairy friend.

		Kong, meanwhile, has stopped to gaze up at the full moon, which is just to the right of a pair of rock formations ("Foreshadowing Flare!"), before indulging in another play session, poking and prodding at Dwan’s clothes until her top comes undone [breast glimpse!].

	BMN Review: King Kong (1976)
		The only point of interest in "King Kong", is that it featured the film debut (and very nearly, the film adieu) of a young, blonde, starlet by the name of Jessica Lange.
		Of course, the military sends in helicopters to attack the ape and shoot him down, and we are treated to the ape suit-guy covered in little blood spots from the bullets, screaming in agony, swatting the toy helicopters while Lange screams over the impending death of her new ape-lover.
		Kong dies and plummets to the crowd below, and the wretched editing takes over, the scene switches from the crowd below to the tower a full second before the special effects kick in of Kong actually falling so that we see him appear out of thin air before continuing his decent.

	King Kong (1933)
		Co-producers and directors Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack (both real-life adventurers and film documentarians) conceived of the low-budget story of a beautiful, plucky blonde woman (Fay Wray) and a frightening, gigantic, 50 foot ape-monster as a metaphoric re-telling of the archetypal Beauty and the Beast fable.
		Kong's chewing of a New York victim and his drop of a woman from the Empire State Building
		King Kong launched the "giant beast" subgenre of science-fiction, inspiring the 1950's atomic mutant creature features and the Japanese giant movie monsters like Godzilla, Gamera, Rodan, etc. Godzilla and King Kong actually faced off in the Japanese film King Kong Vs. Godzilla (1962, Jp.) (aka Godzilla vs. King Kong in Japan).

	Jessica Lange - King Kong
		After 25 years, King Kong is finally getting some of the respect that is never received upon its release in late 1976.
		The latter half of the film, in which Kong is captured and transported to a dark and foreboding New York City, relies more on special effects and manages to provide excitement and spectacle, well before the days of computer generated monsters and dinosaurs.
		Jessica Lange endured a lengthy publicity tour for King Kong which, for the most part, was humiliating and the critical snubs were painful.

	Kong is King.net \| King Kong movie news and rumors
		This past month has given us our first peek at what could be considered a “teaser poster” for Peter Jackson’s King Kong, an evocative image that has predictably spurred discussion and debate on the boards.
		It doesn’t hold a candle to the impact made by the teaser poster for—get ready—the DeLaurentiis King Kong remake of 1976.
		Across the top of the image were the words “There still is only one King Kong”—a calculated stab-in-the-eye aimed at Universal, which had run their own Kong ad weeks before—and at the bottom was a coupon offering a free copy of the poster.

		There is also a huge life-size mechanical robot Kong which is used in his escape sequence at the show.
		As before there's the usual sequences involving Kong fighting other dinosaurs and the crew of the ship setting off in the jungle and being taken out one-at-time in various grisly ways.
		Kong is more of a human in this film and some of his mean, aggressive side from the original has been taken away to reveal a more caring, protective side.

	KING KONG 1976 movie review
		KONG continued to be a cash cow because KING KONG had something that no other pretender had.
		KING KONG wasn't cute, he wasn't lovable, and he was a vicious wild animal living in a brutal environment.
		It is horribly edited, with King Kong destroying the same helicopter on two different occasions, by swatting it out of his face.

		Jack, being Jack, kindly rejects the offer (he and the men scatter the natives with shooting their guns into the air), so the natives steal Dwan away when no one is looking.
		Kong's head not only set the standard for animatronic creatures, it's still the King after all this time.
		By flick's end, she willingly offers to become Kong's human shield, and even the most hardened critic can give the flick points for those scenes.

	King Kong (1976)
		On the island, Dwan is kidnapped by the natives and given in sacrifice as bride to a giant forty-foot ape, Kong.
		This infamous remake of King Kong (1933) is perhaps a perfect demonstration of the old adage that once is usually leaving well enough alone.
		Eventually de Laurentiis, director John Guillermin and Carlo Rambaldi teamed up to make the laughably bad King Kong Lives (1986), which was an unqualified disaster - although interestingly this time Carlo Rambaldi didn't attempt any full-size mechanical suits but relented to use the same Rick Baker techniques that this film seemed ashamed of.

	King Kong 1976 Review
		Well, basically, it’s the classic King Kong story, except instead of a film crew, it’s, like I said, an oil company.
		Charles Grodin is the evil mastermind of the oil expedition who then changes cue to go catch a Kong and bring him back as—here we go—king shit of corporate mascots.
		The worst creature they came up with for this island for Kong to fight against is a lame giant snake—with lots of teeth.
