in a four-day bench trial in los angeles, judge manuel real made the final decision and gave his verdict on november 24, 1976, affirming that the "king kong" novelization and serialization were indeed in the public domain, and universal could make its movie as long as it did not infringe on original elements in the 1933 rko film, which had "not" passed into the public domain (universal postponed their plans to film a king kong movie, called "the legend of king kong", for at least 18 months, after cutting a deal with dino de laurentiis that included a percentage of box office profits from his remake).

"i spit on your grave" became controversial for its graphic violence and lengthy depictions of gang rape. it was initially unable to find a distributor until 1980, when it received a wider release. luke y. thompson of the "new times" stated, "defenders of the film have argued that it's actually pro-woman, due to the fact that the female lead wins in the end, which is sort of like saying that cockfights are pro-rooster because there's always one left standing". critic david keyes named it the worst film of the 1980s. scott tobias of "the a.v. club" called it "one of the era's most abhorrent pieces of exploitation trash" and patrick naugle of dvd verdict stated, "it's one of the most soulless, vile, and morally reprehensible things i've ever had to sit through." roger ebert gave the film no stars, referring to it as "a vile bag of garbage ... without a shred of artistic distinction," adding, "attending it was one of the most depressing experiences of my life." ebert also included it on his "most hated" list and considered it the worst movie ever made. gene siskel also considered it one of the worst films ever made. author james livingston wrote in "the world turned inside out" that "i spit on your grave" was the second worst movie ever made, "film racket" featured it as their first entry in to their "worst movie ever?" series, and "flavorwire" named it the eleventh worst movie ever made. despite the intense negative reception from some critics, the film has a 55% rating on rotten tomatoes, with critics arguing that "it shows us the raw, shocking reality of rape, in all its bloody viciousness."
