King Kong has had many movie adaptations over the years. As a new Kong/Godzilla romp heads our way in theaters, we went back looking for sins in the 1976 version. There were lots!

In all productions of King Kong, they skip that part. Because obviously they do. I guess showing us a bunch of guys digging trenches underneath an unconscious gorilla to get ropes underneath to air lift him out isn't exciting enough. I'd really enjoy a video by a biologist explaining how animal tissues can't actually be so big, and why an 80 ft tall gorilla would be impossible. That would be more interesting than any iteration we've had of a giant monkey.

I first saw it on TV, I believe at age 4. I liked it, and while I was aware of the 1933 version, I never got a chance until my parents got basic cable so I could watch it on AMC (back when it was what TMC is now) when I was 16. So I built up enough nostalgia to like this still. Saw the 1933 version for the first time in decades, and was reminded of how much more mean-spirited Kong is in that.
