I first saw this in a theatre in the early 80s when it rereleased.
Then again many times on vhs.
Revisited it recently with my 7 year old nephew since he is on monster verse marathon. Revisited the restored version which is basically 104 mins of which 4 mins is an overture.
Everything has already been said about this great film n there seems to be little left to say but lemme contribute a lil more by praising how good this film is.
Willis O'Brien's stop-motion effects are the best part about this film.
Its sad that the pit scene is lost forever.
Peter Jackson gave homage to O'Brien by creating the pit scene which is available on YouTube.
The fight between Kong n Tyrannosaurus is amazeballs. It looked as if two fellas are having a wrestling match. Even the way Kong checks his opponent's heads after defeating them to make sure they are dead is superbly done.
The film is action packed n filled with lottuva creatures.
Kong battles a Tyrannosaurus, an Elasmosaurus (which looked like a giant anaconda), a Pteranodon and lots of bullets and bombs.
We also have a Brontosaurus n a Stegosaurus wreaking havoc on humans.
My respect goes to Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack n O'Brien.
