We ended up being one of the extras (in a sea of extras) for the final scene. I was 6 and I wanted to see Kong. I saw Kong's silhouette with a cameraman in a crane, a lot of people, soldiers, army vehicles, and even Jessica Lange (who appeared to be crying), and alot of butts. When you're six -- & very confused. It is what it was! In hindsight im super thankful for dad taking us. I still love this movie version & the beautiful John Barry soundtrack ...which really enhanced the mystery of the God of Skull Island teocarlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498697212890215480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-90609684226872380402016-01-06T11:17:59.475-06:002016-01-06T11:17:59.475-06:00As A Young 3 Year Old Child Seeing The 1976 King K...As A Young 3 Year Old Child Seeing The 1976 King Kong Movie On Television In 1980 For The First Time, I Honestly Thought That The 40 Foot Robot Was Used In The Duration Of The Movie, I Thought That Only The World Trade Center Scene Was The Guy Dressed Up, Rick Baker, Now I Feel Like An Idiot Believing The Myth About The Giant Mechanical Kong Being What I Had Seen All Those Times I Watched That Movie, LOL!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212166166919179356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-55693831900669103352015-07-15T07:49:35.558-05:002015-07-15T07:49:35.558-05:00I agree, I liked the 76 Kong better than the bloat...I agree, I liked the 76 Kong better than the bloated 05 one.

Looks like my point sailed right over your head!<br /><br />That screen credit lavishly praises Carlo Rambaldi (not Rambaldy) twice, along with Glen Robinson. They're the ones who built the giant mechanical Kong. You know, the one that appeared in the film for all of about thirty seconds, and the one the producers desperately wanted the audience to think they'd been watching for two hours.<br /><br />The credit then grudgingly acknowledges Rick Baker, who played Kong for 99.9999999% of the film. <br /><br />Seems to me it should have been the other way around.Bob Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938039612223083995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-75066331697794254532014-07-21T20:03:10.986-05:002014-07-21T20:03:10.986-05:00The "Suit" was actually a piece of Higte...The "Suit" was actually a piece of Higtech Animatronic and Make-Up Work, done by Rambaldy and Baker.

I think this one with the mechanical turd shape was a teaser. I used it because it had the "most original story ever" tagline.<br /><br />And yes, Cooper Black IS an odd choice for an action movie logo.
