The Big Apple is again besieged by the monstrous King Kong. Jeff Bridges and
Jessica Lange star in this ambitious remake of the 1933 original which adds
a great deal of camp and good fun to the story. Again the gargantuan ape battles
attacking aircraft high above the streets of New York, this time plunging from
the top of the World Trade Center to his death amidst thousands of horrified
onlookers. The acting is light years better, than the original. Jessica Lange
(her film debut) was perfectly cast as the naive starlet Dwan. A real marvel is
Rick Baker in a gorilla suit. Joe Piscopo has a small role and look fast for
Corbin Bernsen playing a reporter. King Kong won an Oscar for special effects
and the thrills are brought anew to another generation in this classic and
classy production.
