Loved this movie as a kid. And it was only 5 bucks at Best Buy.

Good campy movie. Great quality and audio. Great for the price!

The movie is an acquired taste to start, lack of features won't do much for first time viewers.

Excellent movie . Recommended to watch. Excitement, Adventure.

Classic Monster movie mayham that brings out all the action

I love this movie, it was a great purchase. Thanks Best Buy

Godzilla got to fight his robot version now it is Kong's turn

I love anything that involves Kong, this is no exception

Classic creature movie that is a must watch for those who like old monster movies

Cool movie that started the giant monster movie genre

I found this movie to be very lame it did not promote saving the whales and hugging trees which is one of my passions and I just don't feel like it represented what I take a stand for. King Kong also looked like a man and an ape costume and there were strings hanging from the helicopters. The mouse also did not sync with the audio.

I thought this was going to be a heart racing alien movie but was disappointed by this movie about finding Bigfoot. I could have filmed this in my backyard. ALIENS EXIST

movie is cheaply made worth only about 5.00 scenes are bad

While Toho is better known for its lineup of original Japanese monsters such as Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan, the company took a strategic gamble to establish King Kong as a part of their staple. After the fantastic commercial success of King Kong vs. Godzilla, a second Kong movie, though with much less fanfare, was completed to capitalize upon the former. The plot of this second movie was quite simple: an evil scientist creates a giant mechanical robot to unearth an extremely radioactive material, but eventually needs to acquire King Kong to complete his task, as his robotic minion is incapable of doing so without breaking down while being exposed to the material. The military defense force becomes aware of the situation and attempts to thwart the evil scientist from kidnapping Kong, but ultimately fail to prevent his capture. Yet King Kong still manages to escape and the robotic Kong is unleashed to track him down, until they finally meet in an ultimate showdown of great ape vs. giant robot. Though not the very best of its genre, it remains a fun early Saturday morning movie to wake up to. King Kong Escapes is a decent offering from Toho and is definitely best served, as a back-2-back viewing with another classic monster movie while enjoying a nice warm breakfast (or big bowl of cereal if you prefer) and with the TV volume turned up a decent amount for good effect. Personally, the movie is a good watch, and runs even better if viewed as part of a monster movie-marathon. Definitely recommended for all you classic sci-fi and monster movie hounds. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars

Wish the fight with Kong and Mechani-Kong was more of an actual fight, but overall, the film is very enjoyable.

great from the very begining to the very end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
