SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

KING KONG LIVES is undoubtedly the worst KING KONG movie in existence, a film even worse than the remake which it follows. It's hard to imagine that a director who put out an all-time classic like THE TOWERING INFERNO was capable of making something this bad, but there you go. This film was written by the excellent novelist Steven Pressfield, but he has none of the talent on display that he would bring to a novel like GATES OF FIRE. The cheesy, family-friendly story sees Kong surviving his fall from the World Trade Center before hooking up with a mate, so expect lots of cutesy material and a ton of '80s-era cheese. Linda Hamilton has never looked more attractive than she does here, but she, like the rest of the humour cast, are wasted and merely deliver one trite line after another. The man-in-a-suit special effects look particularly bad given the era while this is the kind of film which just drags on and on with no end in sight. My recommendation? Give it a wide berth.

This is a wonderful movie. It's a sequel to the 1976 King Kong remake. It's about a female of the Kong species that's discovered and the male. The male is brought back to life with an artificial heart and he wakes up in a hospital or something and breaks free. He discovers the female. He is killed by the military and the female has a baby. It's a scary movie. One of the scary scenes is when the male Kong comes across some guys and one of them sets off an explosive which causes Kong to be buried up to his neck in rocks. One or more of the guys burn Kong with a torch or torches or something. Kong breaks out and I think tears one of them apart and eats another. The movie that this is a sequel to is what I consider to be my favorite movie.

King Kong Lives, also known as King Kong II, is the sequel to the remake of the classic by Dino De Laurentiis. It stars Linda Hamilton and Brian Kerwin.The trouble happens in paradise instead of New York City this time around.King Kong, after being shot down from the World Trade Center, is kept alive in a coma for about 10 years at the Atlanta Institute.He is under the supervision of Dr. Amy Franklin. In order to save his life, she must perform a heart transplant and give him a computer- monitored artificial heart. However, he lost so much blood that a transfusion is badly needed. But things go awry when adventurer Hank "Mitch" Mitchell captures a giant female gorilla and brought her in the institution so her blood can be used for the operation. The transfusion and the heart transplant are a success, but King Kong escapes along with the female ape creates havoc and destruction into the place.After a fair remake in 1976,the sequel becomes one bad movie.It was truly a disaster as the screenplay was thinly written,the characters lack depth,the special effects were mediocre and it was boring from beginning to end.Added to that,we also have a dull cast that had a forgettable performance and the ape even looks bored rather than scary while wreaking havoc and fighting the military.

Why they felt a sequel was needed to the King Kong remake of the 1970's is beyond me. That one was not all that great and did not perform all that great at the box office. Granted, this sequel is a less ambitious movie than that one and the effects are pure Japanese monster movies as it is mainly a guy in a rubber suit. The story is really off the wall as a female Kong is found and the old King Kong is revived with a fake heart of all things. Kind of a waste of millions of dollars to make a giant fake heart for a giant gorilla that for all purposes should be dead. Linda Hamilton plays the strange and mentally challenged person who makes the heart for the gorilla that can cause major damage if revived and since she is in it I am giving it one more star than I would have otherwise. That and the scenes of King Kong in a bloody mess are rather good too. However, the ending is just really lame and the special effects cheapness really shine through near the end of this piece.
