SYNOPSIS:
Dino De Laurentiis’s 1976 remake of
King Kong tends to be forgotten in favor of Peter Jackson’s 2005 version, but many of us who were kids at the time tend to remember it fondly as the major monster movie of our youth. Shout! Factory seemed to have read our minds when they prepared a new Collector’s Edition of the film, complete with the problematic TV version, a big batch of new interviews, and two commentary tracks.
