Excellent transfer of my favorite version of King Kong, with special features that aren't on my previously purchased DVD. I've always wondered why this was the only version of King Kong that couldn't be found on Blu-ray (until now). Thought maybe because it displayed the Twin Towers? Either way, when I saw this I got one quickly, like that, before they're gone. With Jeff Bridges being one of my favorite actors, & Jessica Lange in her most beautiful prime, & real effects before the faker looking CGI, this is by far my favorite version of this flick (tho I do love the original & Jackson's, too). But this tops 'em all, IMO. Oh, & the OG cover, with Kong standing on the Twin Towers, is on the other side of the reversible cover, as I wasn't too thrilled with the new cover art.

Great to have this movie finally on blue ray, you get to have 2 discs with theatrical cut and television cut.

One of Paramount's greatest films. Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin, and Jessica Lange give awesome performances as one of the best King Kong films ever made. Him climbing the World Trade center makes it even greater!!

Another fantastic release from Shout! Factory. The restoration looks and sounds great, accompanied, as always, by superb extra features. The slipcover artwork is awesome looking, so glad I actually found a copy at my local Best Buy, and for a great price too. This is probably my favorite King Kong film, and now it’s a part of my ever growing collection thanks to Shout! Factory.

King Kong, the first remake of the original one with FAYE WRAY in the starring lead role. Jessica Lange looks really good here in the female lead role, and she did a great job. Jeff Bridges comes on board as a stowaway but finds his usage as the crew photographer. Overall, for a 1976 movie, I think it is going to look as good as it is going to get. The HD Blu-ray is great with good sound as well. Easy selections in the main menu. The main menu is good with background music. There is NO CGI here, so, it's basically all props and movie magic of the times. The ending will surprise you, thinking it takes place on the Empire State Building. It does not. We get to see it all unfold in the Twin Towers of NYC. The ones destroyed on Sep. 11, 2001. Lots of special features here, probably the most for this movie that will ever be. I wished though that Jessica Lange could have done a new interview for it and Jeff Bridges. Recommended!
