Description of this King Kong 1976 Poster
King Kong is a 1976 American monster adventure film produced by Dino De Laurentiis and directed by John Guillermin. It is a modernized remake of the 1933 film about a giant ape who is captured and taken to New York for exhibition. It stars Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin and Jessica Lange in her first film role, and features mechanical effects by Carlo Rambaldi and makeup effects by Rick Baker. It is the 5th entry in the King Kong franchise.
The idea to remake King Kong was conceived by Michael Eisner, then an ABC executive, in 1974. He separately proposed the idea to Universal Pictures CEO Sidney Sheinberg and Paramount Pictures CEO Barry Diller. Italian producer Dino De Laurentiis quickly acquired the film rights from RKO-General and later hired television screenwriter Lorenzo Semple, Jr. to write the script. John Guillermin was hired as director and filming lasted from January to August 1976. Before the film's release, Universal Pictures sued De Laurentiis and RKO-General alleging breach of contract and attempted to develop their own remake of King Kong . In response, De Laurentiis and RKO-General filed separate lawsuits against Universal Pictures, all of which were withdrawn in January 1976.
The film was released on December 17, 1976, to mixed reviews from film critics and underperformed at the box office, although it was very profitable. It won a non-competitive Special Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and was also nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Sound. Of the three main King Kong films, it is the only one to feature the World Trade Center instead of the Empire State Building. A sequel titled King Kong Lives was released in 1986.
In the 1970s, Fred Wilson, a Petrox Oil Company executive, formed an expedition based on infrared images that revealed a previously unknown Indian Ocean island hidden by a permanent cloud bank. Wilson believes the island has a huge oil deposit. Jack Prescott, primate paleontologist, sneaks onto the expedition ship and attempts to warn the team against traveling to the island, citing an ominous final message about "the roar of the greatest beast" from previous doomed explorers . Wilson orders Prescott to lock himself away, assuming he is a spy for a rival company. Wilson eventually made Prescott the expedition photographer. The ship occurs on a life raft which carries the beautiful and unconscious Dwan. Upon waking up, Dwan tells Prescott that she is an aspiring actress who was on board a director's yacht that suddenly exploded. During the remainder of the ship's journey, Prescott and Dwan become attracted to each other.
Arriving on the island, the team discovers a primitive tribe of indigenous people who live within the confines of a gigantic wall, built to protect them from a mysterious god known as Kong. The team finds that if there is a large deposit of oil, it is of such poor quality that it is unusable. The natives kidnap Dwan, drug her and offer her as a sacrifice to Kong. A monumental monkey grabs Dwan from the altar and returns to the jungle.
Although he is awesome and terrifying, the gentle-hearted Kong quickly becomes tamed by Dwan, whose rambling monologue calms and fascinates the monstrous beast. After she falls in the mud, Kong takes Dwan back to a waterfall to wash off, then uses large bursts of his hot breath to dry her off.
Meanwhile, Prescott and First Mate Carnahan lead a rescue mission to save Dwan. The rescue party encounters Kong while crossing a log bridge over a ravine, and Kong rolls the enormous log, sending Carnahan and the rest of the sailors falling to their deaths. Prescott and Boan are the only ones to survive. Kong takes Dwan to his lair. A giant snake appears and attacks the pair, and while Kong dispatches the snake, Prescott escapes with Dwan. Kong pursues the pair back to the home village, only to fall into a pit trap and be suffocated with chloroform.
Without any of the promised new oil, Wilson decides to transport Kong to America as a promotional gimmick for his company. When they finally reach New York, Kong is displayed in a Beauty and the Beast prank, chained up with a large crown on his head. When Kong sees a group of reporters crowding around Dwan, hoping for interviews, the monkey breaks free from his bonds and goes on a rampage throughout the city. In the commotion, Wilson is killed when Kong steps on him. The monkey also destroys an elevated train in his search for Dwan. Prescott and Dwan flee across the Queensboro Bridge into Manhattan while Kong pursues them. Prescott calls the military and in exchange for a promise that Kong will be captured unharmed, he tells them that Kong will climb the World Trade Center, which resembles a mountain on his home island. Kong locates Dwan and takes him away; he begins heading to the World Trade Center, with Jack and the military in pursuit.
In the climax, Kong climbs the South Tower of the World Trade Center.[4] After being attacked by men with flamethrowers while standing on the roof, Kong jumps towards the north tower. He is then attacked by military helicopters while Dwan tries to stop them. Kong, mortally wounded, falls from the roof of the World Trade Center plaza, where he dies of his injuries. Dwan is bombarded by a sea of photographers. The crowd is so big, however, that Dwan can't even get close to Jack. She remains motionless and is photographed relentlessly by journalists while Kong lies dead in a pool of blood and broken concrete.
