The kaput King Kong that almost broke Jessica Lange How a $2 million robot ape, a man covered in bear fur and a bruised and battered actress made one of the most maligned monster movies ever The beauty that charmed the beast: Jessica Lange Credit: Alamy The 1976 remake of King Kong was sold on a never-before-seen, ground-shaking special effect: a 40ft, fully robotic ape.
