What Parents Need to Know
About King Kong (1976)
Parents need to know that kids will see some sexually-charged scenes and violence. Scantily clad natives thrust suggestively during a ritual. We get a fleeting glimpse of breasts. Kong's in love with his female hostage and, as hard as it is to believe, some of their scenes together are erotically charged. Kong tears the jaw off a fake-looking giant snake. The shootout finale goes overboard on squirting blood.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about monster movies. What's the fascination with seeing oversized, threatening monsters on screen? How is this one different from and the same as other monster movies you've seen? Is Kong scary -- or do you feel bad for him?

I lost six brain cells watching this!
This is the worst movie ever. there are no dinosaurs or even anything remotely action in it except the snake fight and the World Trade Center fight (which is a bit graphic, blood spurting everywhere!). There is some brief nudity in it and in the scene were kong and that blonde girl are by the waterfall, it seems like kong is molesting her, he's ripping off her clothes and smiling. I did not like this movie one bit. Do not watch however old you are.

the hidious middle child
This is one of the most pathetic remakes ever. Unlike the original or the most recent remake there are no exciting dinosaur battles except Kong wrestling with what amounts to a glorified garden hose. Also the hero's were some of the biggest morons ever.

What the...
It was a good movie but every second it had fighting and it was under rated. You wouldn't want to take a little kid there. It still was a good movie! -----------------
