King Kong
1976, 130 minutes, Rated PG
Dino De Laurentiis' remake of the original hairy monster movie features remarkable special effects by Academy Award Winner Rick Baker (An American Werewolf In London). A ruthless oil company executive (Charles Grodin - Heart And Souls), a scientist stowaway (Jeff Bridges - Seabiscuit), and a beautiful woman rescued from the sea (Jessica Lange - Big Fish) form an uneasy alliance when they stumble across a remote island peopled by a mysterious tribe and the ape god they worship, Kong. The decision to capture Kong and take him back to New York sharply contrasts man's greed and cruelty with the selfless devotion of Kong, even to the climatic encounter at New York's World Trade Centre.
