What a FUN movie!!!!
I have to say it...This movie is fantastic!!!
I watched it this morning with the English dub on (I decided Id try watching it that way first because it seemed to be one of the things people slammed about the movie, Ill watch it with English subtitles at a later date) and I have to say that, although the English dub wasnt matched up to the on screen actors very well, it was a very fun movie to watch...
Okay, so it isnt overly stimulating in the intelligence stakes, and the ape suit, while not horrible, isnt too well done, and some of the scenes featuring animal attacks make you laugh....Still its good fun. Its great Saturday afternoon fun (with the breast shots edited out), or late night fun (with breast shots left in).
This is NOT one of those 'so bad its good' movies, as I was lead to believe...Its one of those movies that are actually not as bad as everyone makes out, and that actually has a kind of silly charm to it.
The Mighty Peking Man (or Xing Xing wang) makes a great addition to any King Kong/giant gorilla collection.

I bought the DVD twice...Incase I wanted to watch it more than once.
King Kong 1976 = THE BEST.
