when did the original king kong movie come out?
1976
"king kong" was the first film to feature a giant monster running amok in civilization (the silent "the lost world" was actually the first—although it featured a rampaging "brontosaurus" rather than a non-science-based monster—but was rarely seen after its first release until the video and cable-tv booms of the 1980s); there are echoes of the original king kong film in every giant-monster film that has been made since 1933. these include "the beast from 20,000 fathoms" (1953), "godzilla" (1954) and "jurassic park" (1993). the dinosaur scenes from "king kong" are referenced or mimicked in the three "jurassic park" films, especially the second film, "" (1997). in the third act of the film, a creature (a "tyrannosaurus rex") is brought to civilization from a remote island where it runs amok in a city (the ship that transports the beast is even called "the venture", which is the name of the ship in "king kong"). kong is even mentioned directly in the first one: as the tour group approaches the massive jurassic park gate that is reminiscent of the gate in "king kong", jeff goldblum's character asks, "what have they got in there, king kong?" in the third film in this series, a "spinosaurus" vs. "tyrannosaurus rex" fight is similar to the kong–rex battle in the original and the second remake.
