Kaiju fans often site Godzilla as being the grandfather of all giant monster movies, but in actuality that could be given to our hairy simian friend here. Not saying Godzilla doesn't deserve some credit, but it often feels like Kong is overlooked, even though it's one of the most revolutionary movies of all time.
Since Kong actually gave Godzilla his fame.
I would think that the creators of Godzilla would disagree with their character being considered as such.
@@Telcontar86 Well King Kong was one the Inspirations for Godzilla with Gorillas even being another Inspiration, In fact, Gojira is derived from Gorilla and Whale in Japanese :)
So yeah, I'd have to agree with you.
@@Telcontar86 +
Without Kong, Godzilla will never exist.
King Kong 2005 is still EASILY my favorite, it seems that most of the complaints I've seen is that the movie is too long but I disagree, I think it is perfectly well paced, feeling a lot shorter than it actually is.
One problem I had with the 2005 version was the simple fact that Peter Jackson forgot to let Kong BLEED when he was shot. Even the original Kong bled. The 1976 Kong bled buckets, which one would do, considering the machine gun intensity.
My FAVORITE moment from Jackson's Kong was Central Park. I don't know how it was worked, special affects wise, and I don't care. It just WORKED. There was genuine FUN there!
It's just a less interesting version of the original one
@@KookieKutter111 Hard disagree, I think both are great but I love the cinematography, characters and visuals of the 2005 version, by far the most interesting version of Kong for me.
Godzilla is watching this to study his opponent.
Lmaooo
Yep
Yes
TRUE
Lol
King Kong is going to be 90 years old soon... and to this day no one will dare take the time and effort to do such amazing practical effects!
And Godzilla is 60 years old
I hope they do a little easter egg scene of godzilla but with suitmation and Kong's with stop motion in future films
But they do take the time and effort to do very high quality and realistic CGI
@@studior2962 doing a special effect on a computer is zero compared to what they had to do back then, stop motion requires 100% concentration all the time and takes hours to get a few seconds of movement. So overall, 100s of hours for a movie like Kong, or any other stop motion animation.
@@sleazyfellow exactly! I do it and takes so much time
Up From The Depths has uploaded a compilation of all his King Kong reviews, I better grab my popcorn
Agreed
@@radzilla1357 yessir
Yeah but not as long as godzilla reviews :(
Fucking sad.
@@mynameiswhat3843 ?
I can never forget the 1976 version, because I was 11 back then, and Jessica Lange had a highly memorable effect upon me.
Well that King Kong vs Godzilla was official but not Cannon to the Godzilla universe, kind of like that Batman vs Superman movie from 2016
"Babe, wake up! New Up From the Depths Upload!"
Up to this day, King Kong 2005 is my favorite Kong movie. It's just Epic
Best portrayal of skull island when I first saw it in theaters I was legit scared everything was dangerous even the natives
Exactly, there's a reason that version of kong is still the main one used in marketing. A king kong ride came out in universal studios in 2016, based on the 2005 King Kong!!! That's whole 11 years after the movie.
I dunno, man, I'll personally choose Robert Armstrong over Jack Black any day... Not that I don't like Jack Black as an actor, his portrayal and writing just isn't as good as the 33 Carl denham imo. Also I personally feel the new one has a bit too much filler...just my taste, but I respect liking the 2005 version more...
Same
It should have been called boat simulator cause half the damn movies on a boat then Kong acts like a human not an animal trash
Since Godzilla vs Kong is now out, I think the next appropriate outing for Kong and monsterverse movie should be about Kong becoming King Kong
But he is the king,the king of Hollow Earth.
Bro traveled 3 years into the future
1976 will always be my favorite
Its not my favorite,but yeah,its pretty good, and i dont agree with the channel opinion,i would actually give a 4 stars.
King Kong 1933: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Son of Kong 1933: ⭐ ⭐
King Kong Escapes 1967: ⭐ ⭐⭐
King Kong 1976: ⭐⭐⭐
King Kong Lives 1986: ⭐ ⭐
King Kong 2005: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kong: Skull Island: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Add one more star to 76' and remove one from KK Lives and I'd agree
@@SparkZ1420 This is how he rated it, just copied it and put in the comments
I give the 1976 one two stars and King Kong Lives one star.
SparkZ1420,
Id also give 1 more star to Kong 1976, but Id take 1 off Kong '05 and 2 off Skull Island.
' 33 and '76 are the best for me.
In the year 2033,king kong will reach its one hundredth birthday. I wish there would be a second Godzilla movies review.
That could be epic year for a new movie, a new retelling with some good omages to the original. I dont know if they should set it in 1933.
Son of Kong woulda worked better with more giant monster fights.
So does your profile
@@solidified-spinosaurus gotem
3 monsters battles isn't that enough
@@santiagogarcia950 when the movie's plot n dialogue is shit level then no its not
Ditto if Kiko had more screen time.
Thank you! This gave me the opportunity to finally watch your take on the 1976-Film as this is the only one of your reviews that is unavailable in my country.
3:15 That was always my favorite part when I was little. Now I think my favorite part might be the grand finale at the end on top of the Empire State Building with the planes. Though, it’s very hard to say what my favorite scene is exactly.
41:08 is my favorite part now
2:37 The origins of We need Kong...The World needs him.
I’ve always thought King Kong (2005) was better than the original. While the original is an important piece of cinema, I feel the remake improved on it in many areas; story, characters, Kong and Ann’s dynamic, direction, world building, and emotional depth. Both are masterpieces though.
Are you on dope or something? Any movie with that much CGI can't be considered a masterpiece.
@@SamSprole Course it can; look at Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park. King Kong (2005) is the same.
@@SamSprole No I’m not. Are you shocked not everyone has you’re opinion?
@@SamSprole cringe
@@SamSprole How does it make no sense? CGI does not suck; it’s only when it’s used badly does it suck. Having CGI is not a bad thing, in the case of King Kong it’s used amazingly, hence why I think it’s better than the original along with several reasons.
Calm down.
I actually got to see the original 1933 King Kong in theaters back in March 2020 just as the Covid-19 situation got going.
I saw the 1976 Kong when i was ten years, and i loved it, also was scared by it and sad at the end. It will always have a special place in my movieloving heart.
I think thats actually the best death of Kong. Seeing he bleeding its pretty shocking,also the journalists around him like vultures aroud a prey makes you really feel sad for Kong.
This is by far the most accurate and complete Kong retrospective I've ever seen. KUDOS.
I particularly appreciated how you paid such detailed homage to the 1933 original, never to be duplicated.
Bit sad that Mighty Joe Young wasn't included.
Not a kong movie
Honestly I'd put that in the Minilla category of Kong movies.
@@AbombOO7 Why? It’s not that bad.
One of my favorite things about Skull Island, and Godzilla Vs Kong, are all the mods and references to every Kong film that came before.
Yeah,like the octopus fight,just like GvK 62.
20:25 when my mom tells me to smile but I'm angry.
I remember the marketting for King Kong Lives in Japan. I wasn't allowed to see the film, but the images of a giant gorilla engaged in a pitched battle againt tanks and attack helicopters made an impression on my 8 year old brain. Those giant posters sure looked epic...
Peter Jackson's King Kong is the best Kong film by a long shot, in my opinion. It stays pretty true to the original but updated for modern audiences. I agree wholeheartedly with your criticisms of it, though. I also love Kong: Skull Island.
Love these compilations
me to
Dude, Jessica Lange is an incredible actress.
Yeah,he said she was the worst of the 3,i actually think she is the best of the 3. I like Jeff Bridges in this movie,but i dont see reason to his motivations as i see in Lange character.
Kong was the 1st daikaiju! 1st Japanese outing was in the 1933 "WASEI KINGU KONGU". That film lead to the birth of Godzilla 21 years later!
21 days
21 years later 😂
Fun Fact: The directors behind King Kong(1933) were cameo as Air Force pilots who try to shoot Kong in the Empire State Building. Peter Jackson did the same thing in 2005 remake.
So.... Kyle Chandler was in Peter Jackson's King Kong AND Godzilla vs Kong????
Skull Island is my favorite King Kong movie. Innoway it reminds me of the 1999 Mummy in the ways it takes a familiar story and characters and puts a new spin on them to honor the original film but still be able to stand on its own.
My interpretation of his reviews:
1: King Kong 1933
2: King Kong 2005
3: Kong: Skull Island
4: King Kong Escapes
5: King Kong 1976
6: King Kong Lives
7: Son of Kong
I love your reviews a lot, man! Keep up the great work! I really hope we get to see some more reviews from you about Tokosatsu/Kaiju movies!
Love me some Kong. Saw the OG as a kid in the 70's and my mind was blown.
“Every Kong film”
No sight of the 3 animated films.
or king kong vs godzilla
@@Ariel_emeraldHe was mainly talking about the ones based on Kong or things related to Kong (like son of Kong). It is also cuz of Kong vs Godzilla is more like a spinoff.
I could listen to your reviews all day
Shouldn’t King Kong vs Godzilla be included?
I guess since it was already on the Godzilla list he didn’t wanna put it here
Just went and grabbed an 8 pack for this Haha. Does it strike anyone else as interesting that they haven't remade son of kong or even brought the character back in?
34:43 : “Jack Black ... Tenacious ... D...”
You clever bastard.
This was a good revisit of all the kong films
I find it funny this video was just released when I was just rewatching your older review. I see it's from the same creator. I get confused then I see "3 hours ago"
HYPE
I like Kong 76 it was a good movie and I enjoyed it
And so the trilogy of the main monster supercuts is complete! Unless you plan to make one of these for the American monster movies, which I would not be complaining about.
I always wish that "Ebirah, horror of the deep" had just stayed as a King Kong movie.
A few small remarks:
1. Charles Grodin's performance in Kong 76 is so over the top that the character achieves cartoon level villainy.
Sadly, Grodin died 5/18/21 at age 81
2a. That actually was René Auberjonois in Kong 76, who brilliantly depicted shapeshifting Odo in Star Trek DS9, generally regarded as the best performance amongst all the regulars
Sadly, Auberjonois died 12/8/19 at age 79
2b. Rhodes Reason, one of the three leads in Kong Escapes 67, also played gladiator Flavius Maximus in the Star Trek TOS episode "Bread & Circuses".
Sadly, Reason died 12/26/14 at age 84
After you review godzila vs kong (after it releases) are you gonna do a compilation of every godzilla and Kong film ever made. Bet that will get loads of views. Keep up the good work
I kept expecting Tom Hiddleston yell Kneel I said KNEEL" then shoot at Kong with his Glow stick of Destiny. LOL
*Nick Fury encounters giant spider*
This is what happens when a high school kid dodged my calls
The 1976 version will always be my favourite King Kong version
King Kong - 4/4
Son of Kong - 2/4
King Kong vs. Godzilla - 3.5/4
King Kong Escapes - 3/4
King Kong (1975) - 2.5/4
King Kong Lives - 0.5/4
King Kong (2005) - 3.5/4
Kong: Skull Island - 3/4
Godzilla vs. Kong - 3.5/4
Why did you rate it 4 points and not 5?
King Kong 76 extended version is a great film.
They should definitely release it on DVD 👍
@@christermyrberg3661 it WILL be released in a few weeks on Blu-ray and DVD as a double box. The Collector's edition comes out in May 2021 and will feature the theatrical cut as well as the extended TV version.
@@Starglance I thought it was only a Bluray release but that's good news 👍 Thanks for the info 😎
FYI I have a source for Blu rays of toho/tokusatsu movies with English subtitles. I bought King Kong escapes, gorath, Rodan, War of the gargantuas, Atragon, Mysterians, Frankenstein vs Baragon, etc... All blu ray, all with English subtitles and many with double disc versions.
It's about damn time! I've been waiting for this video since the gojira one!
PJ's Kong CGI (besides the brontosaurus scene) still looks amazing 18 years later.
Epic! now I can finally see your King Kong 76 review here in the UK
John C. Reilly KILLS it in this film. Every scene with him is gold. And I love his happy ending.
Forbidden Planet had great special effects as well as one of the first sci-fi movies.
The 1976 King Kong film to me, will always be the most terrifying King Kong, both visually and audibly! I feared that Kong as a kid
John Marston was in "Son of Kong"? Dang, must have been a sidequest he did between tracking down his old posse
I grew up watching reruns of the '76 King Kong on tv when i was growing up in the 80's. I liked that movie as a kid and still have a soft spot for it, even though the much later Peter Jackson was a much better movie.
I struggle to separate Jack Black from his comedic roles in other movie roles. In my opinion this role was just not meant for him. But that’s just my opinion. 🙂🙂
King Kong is the greatest movie ever made!
Lol
I've been waiting for this moment.
Leaving a like & a comment to boost up kaiju homie's channel for his eventual return!
#ContinueTheMonsterverse
13:12 is one of the funniest clips I’ve ever seen
16:19
Shocker recruit: I like this guy style lets offer him a job. But he'll need a white suit, drucula cape, and a squid monster form.
Since Godzilla got its own Anime Trilogy. I wonder if King Kong will get his own trilogy similar to Godzilla: Planet of Monsters.
I was 6 years old watching the peter jackson movie with my parents, i cried when kong died and was entralled throughout the entire movie
been waiting for this
2005 kong is badass my favorite kong
1976 version will always be the best one 👌
No 2017 is better
That's the worst movie after the 1986 one
Jessica Lange 75 !!! * 20 April 1949 * 20 April 2024 * Happy birthday goddess !!! ***** KING KONG 1976 IS THE BEST KING KONG MOVIE EVER-EVER-EVER !!!
This is why King Kong (both the 1933 classic and the 2005 Peter Jackson's remake) are one of my favorite movies of all time. 🦍
1. King Kong 2005 A+ - I fucking love this movie and I'd say it's easily the best version of the story.
2. King Kong 1933 A - Great movie that is incredibley important even if it doesn't fully hold up.
3. Godzilla Vs Kong 2021 B
4. Kong: Skull Island C+
5. King Kong Vs Godzilla 1962 C+
6. King Kong 1976 C-
34:40 “lovingly tenacious” lol I see what you did there
Very good list brother this video was extremely interesting.
Kong '76 had TWO 'actors' . One was indeed, Rick Baker, but the other performer (sadly uncredited) was William Shepherd.
Baker had a lot more to do creatively with the 76 Kong suit than Carlo.....That's why the suit(s) in the next one look like Crap.... Baker is an expert in gorilla design and making....

this is gonna be good
Mick Gordon should do the soundtrack for a future Kong film. He can get actual natives to chant.
A Kong film with a Mick Gordon Sountrack Is something i didn't knew i wanted until now
Or mark mancina
@@Godzilla-jr5gi It’s nice seeing you here again.
@@nicolasriveros943 Just to show Kong can be as badass as Godzilla
Let’s go, I line these
14:50 slap some "sneaky" sound music in that scene and it's gonna be masterpiece
Damn,when u said he finally broke away from the shackles and he does in the video 👨🍳💋👌
Awesome content my man,Love to see more Kaiju Lovers out there. Can’t wait for the GvK!!!! Hope Big G gets the Win,maybe that’ll convince Toho to allow Legendary to keep using their monsters ;)
People seem to think that apart from King Kong and its sequels and remakes, there are no other American Kaiju films until Cloverfield. That's just not true. Even ignoring giant monsters in Ray Harryhausen films, such as the Kraken in Clash of the Titans, there are many others such as Them!, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, It Came From Beneath The Sea, The Winged Serpent, arguably the worms from Tremors if they aren't too small.
Fun fact with King Kong Lives? The producers thought they had a hit on their hands =P
Now we wait for his second rematch. *A battle of two Kings.*
I was just watching your remembering the heisei Godzilla era video lmao
I think King Kong Escapes is a classic.
How do I watch old kaiju movies cause I can’t find them anywhere
Skull island is my favorite Kong movie just because it had it's own story without pre historic Creatures and making the People from the Iwi tribe not plain savages
I'm a Godzilla guy but '05 Kong deserves five stars
I agree with this video, it was a bloated mess, unbelievable action sequences, Skull island natives looked terrible, King Kong was never a silver back gorilla...this version was like the 98 Godzilla, unrecognizable
@@adrian72300 I have only watched the "short" version but King Kong 2005 is just awesome. There are problems like the xenophobic way the natives are pictured but everything else is awesome, even if it takes an hour just to get to skull island.
This was not '98 Godzilla because this movie does the original justice.
@@Aerolandaircraft So you're saying Kong '33 and '76 look like Kong '05 ?
@@adrian72300 '33 does look a lot like '05 because they're meant to be silverbacks.
@@Aerolandaircraft Disagree...look it up and you'll see the original concept
The original King Kong film was way ahead of its time and the musical score is flawless. As a King Kong fan as a kid, he is well beloved and relatable. Don't get me wrong, Godzilla is cool, but If it wasn't for King Kong, there will be no Godzilla. #TeamKong
Godzilla was inspired by the beast from 20,000 fathoms and ww2 not just kong alone
In my opnion godzilka is the king of the monsters but king kong is the father of all monsters
The 05’ film came out when I was a little kid but for some reason I found myself favoring 76’ film
"69 minute run time"

King kong escapes should've been about kong running away from the military after defeating godzilla because the military needs kong for a zoo or something. In order to get kong, they made a mechanized version of him.
I still dont understand why they put King Kong Escapes in the title, its a big spoiler of the film.
So that's where John Marston was in the year he was away from the Van der Linde Gang.
Is it wrong that I love every single one of these movies?
I swear to god Doctor Huu sounds like Doctor Who
Considering how many characters survive Skull Island, it's shocking that they didn't just fold a few of them into each other to maximize their individuality.
The commenters voice reminds me of Richard Dreyfuss
