Bob CescaHOST
There was, I think in the movie, in the 1976 King Kong, they found just a puddle that was oil.
Bob CescaHOST
It wasn't oil that was usable for them.
Bob CescaHOST
It wasn't crude oil or whatever.
speaker_5PANELIST
[laughs] At the end.
JCPANELIST
Uh, then the next movie, uh, was Tyler's pick, King Kong Lives, which is a sequel to the 1976 King Kong movie.
JCPANELIST
Turns out, uh, King Kong just had a bad heart, and then he gets a girlfriend, and then he...
JCPANELIST
And you know, King Kong's known for facing off giant monsters, you know? That, that's the best part about a King Kong movie.
JCPANELIST
Who does he face up against in this movie? A truck full of rednecks with, uh-
JordanHOST

Charlie WinfieldHOST

In the athletic world, Brock Lesnar was an NCAA wrestling champion, became a WWE star.
IsaacHOST
I'll say on a note, I guess a quick note.
IsaacHOST
This ship does remind me of the ship they used in King Kong 1976.
IsaacHOST
Oh,
CalebHOST

BrianHOST
I wanted to look at the rest of his IMDb stuff.
BrianHOST
And one of the things I saw, and this is a movie that I absolutely love, 1976 is King Kong.
BrianHOST
He was the voice of King Kong.
BrianHOST
Really? Yeah, the Jeff Bridges.
BrianHOST
Jessica Lange.
MarkHOST
So where were we? King
BrianHOST
Kong.
BrianHOST
King Kong is my pick.
Dark MarkHOST
There are only four known surviving copies, and when one of them went for auction, it sold for $690,000.
Dark MarkHOST
One of my personal all-time favorite posters was the 1976 remake of King Kong.
Dark MarkHOST
The color, the detail of these works of art were amazing.
Dark MarkHOST
And I say these works of art because there were at least four different posters that they put out for this film.
Dark MarkHOST
De Laurentiis, his first question to his crew was, I want to know who or what is the Great White Shark's nemesis? So his staff said, it only has one nemesis, the killer whale, Orca.
Dark MarkHOST
Dino De Laurentiis said, then make a film about the Orca.
Dark MarkHOST
So when he decided to remake a film, he chose the King of All Monsters, King Kong.
Dark MarkHOST
And this film would be larger than life because he would have his name over the title.
Michael HullHOST
Maybe so.
Michael HullHOST
Jessica Lange was rescued from King Kong by Fosse, who had her play the temptress Death.
Michael HullHOST
Also with Cliff Gorman, Ben Vereen, Erzabeth Foldy, Leland Palmer, Sandal Bergman, John Lithgow, Keith Gordon.
Michael HullHOST
Dude, he's killer.
Michael HullHOST
I liked the King Kong that she was in.
Jason BaileyHOST
So, Sean, another question I already know the answer to.
Jason BaileyHOST
Why, out of all of the, you know, 1600 movies in Guide for the Film Fanatic, did you select this one to spend some time talking to us about today?
Garrett BussGUEST
I had some fun with it.
Garrett BussGUEST
I thought that the suit looked way better than the terrible, terrible monkey suit from King Kong.
LukeHOST
Especially Robo Kong.
Garrett BussGUEST
Robo Kong looked great.
Garrett BussGUEST
Mechanic Kong, I was like...
Garrett BussGUEST
I like Mechanic Kong exploding into springs and bits.
JoshHOST
I think that King Kong Escapes was objectively a very bad movie, but I loved it.
JoshHOST
I thought it was really, really funny, really entertaining.
NolanHOST
I
CooperHOST
want to compare it to the 1976 King Kong, but I still haven't seen it.
CooperHOST
It didn't fucking win our audience poll.
CooperHOST
I know, everyone wanted this one.
CooperHOST
Holy
NolanHOST
shit, seven seasons.
CooperHOST
Yeah, and we are covering King Kong vs. Godzilla.
CooperHOST
I hope people weren't thinking this was Godzilla vs. Kong from like fucking six years ago.
