King Kong (1933)

 

King Kong (2005)

 

The pre-code monster horror fantasy film was released on an unexpected film audience who were in awe of the special effects, story and Fay Wray making her a star.  Using stop motion animation to give Kong a life like appearance help him endear to audience.  The lines of who is the villain and who is the hero are very blurred.  In 2005, Peter Jackson decided to remake his own version and using the original script.  He wanted to include scenes initially cut from the original script due to technology and budget.  Peter Jackson’s film would be the fourth biggest box office film of 2005.
