Jessica Lange in her prime - worth watching for that alone. a child of the 70s, i was maybe 8 or 9 when this came out and recall being frightened by those crazy islanders and the roaring of Kong himself. Jeff bridges does a decent job, although the effects are pretty cheesy. hey, before digital effects they needed to rely on creativity. the twin towers also add a pretty epic dimension to the film. it's worth checking out. i saw clips from peter Jackson's new version and it looks a bit over-produced and digital. the dinosaurs, creatures, etc don't look great.
This movie is violent, too. Kong is pretty rough on new yorkers, tossing a few around and wrecking subways, etc. Rick Baker did the make-up and he's the best actor in it.
