Giant ape on isolated island brought back to NYC. Chaos ensues. I've seen clips and have heard about this film my entire life but I've never just sat down and watched it. My goodness! Not only did this exceed my expectations, it's downright gruesome. Kong chomping on people, people bouncing as they hit the bottom of a canyon, bloody monster fights, etc. They pulled out all the stops and I would suspect that the viewer's sensibilities of the era where quite traumatized. The sexual mores of the time were humorous but to be expected. Overall, fantastic film! -- DrNostromo.com
