Doomed Ending.....

It is King Kong. Notice the dinosaur in the background. The same type that made the cut after that scene. It was crawling up a large vine after the lead character, before he cut the vine. Btw, from what I understand there was a lot of screaming and agony during the feeding scene. You have to realize movies were sort of new at the time. People were not exposed to violence in the theaters. Plus, people were uptight stiffs. Yep. Kong, Frankenstein, etc had people freaking out back in the day. It was all so new & never seen before. They weren't jaded like we are today. Glad to see someone else knew about this besides me. I was starting to think I'd imagined it. I'm pretty sure I saw it included in a special on AMC or TMC, maybe or some such. Actually decided to do a search &, lo & behold: it's on Youtube.

wow... that scared me a little. hey, what the heck is that last guy with all the tentacles anyway?

HELL YEAH!!! Awesome find. So it wasn't destroyed by the director. That scene was funny. Notice the small dinosaur crawling up the wall. He was the one I was referring to in the earlier post. You see him in the final cut. I do not remember them being trapped between Kong and a Stracosaurus, either. That was funny, too.

Actually, for a film thats bordering on 76 years old, that was pretty fuggin' good. I might have to dust off my old VHS tape now. Edit: Wait a minute, that's Peter Jackson's recreated version!

[EvilNed]

Man, I wish I could see the original.

Edit: Wait a minute, that's Peter Jackson's recreated version! What do you mean? He re-shot it in B&W with claymation? Edit: Damnit! Well, it looks cool and it will be the closest thing we will ever see.

You almost had me fooled by that! I was wondering how a scene that was lost for nearly 80 years ended up on youtube and in such great shape to boot. Then I remembered the Peter Jackson recreation I've heard about. LOL Still, it baffles me how grown men and women could find such a scene so horrorific that they would run out of the theater. Of course, these are the same people who believed that martians invaded New Jersey because they heard it on the radio! Was the american public really so easily frightened back then??

[slickwilly13]

Same type who were giving marijuana users life prison sentences. *L* But really, I wasn't aware Jackson recreated that scene.

Peter Jackson recreation? WTF?!?! Now I'm confused....

[ProfessorChaos]

yeah, i did a quick youtube search last night after reading this thread and stumbled across the scene. i almost thought that i was hot sh!t for a second, but then read the description and saw that pj had filmed it.

[sandrock74]

Professor, if you HAD found the legitimate lost scene, you would have definately been "The King of Hot Sh!t of Stink Mountain". No doubt!

Peter Jackson recreation? WTF?!?! Now I'm confused.... Peter Jackson did a recreation of the spider pit with the folks at WETA. It was an extra on the release of the restored thirties King Kong DVD which I own.

"The King of Hot Sh!t of Stink Mountain". would you happen to be a fan of Mr. Show? This sounds very similar to the preachings of Reverend Winton Dupree.

would you happen to be a fan of Mr. Show? This sounds very similar to the preachings of Reverend Winton Dupree. Honestly, I don't even know who that is. Is that a radio or tv show?

[ProfessorChaos]

Mr. Show is an awesome sketch comedy series that aired on HBO for 4 seasons during the mid 90's with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. "Swear to God", with the Reverend Winton Dupree, has a line very similar to the one you used earlier: but uh...back to topic, i really doubt we'll ever see footage of the helicopter suicide.
