King Kong (1933) - colorized

[getback9691]

Damn you Ted Turner!!!!!!

[greyalien12]

3:02 I think Kong was thinking of using the V-rex as a puppet.Lol

[donkeykong3051]

the color looks like shit

[poopmaster13]

Black and white films simply should not be colorized. They look WAY better in black and white. The fake colorization just looks tacky, and I feel like it takes a lot away from those classic films. And King Kong is, forgive the pun, a King among classics.

[Xeivous]

Thumbs up if somebody should colorize Godzilla King of the Monsters

[MOVIEmania709]

entertaining as hell one of my favorites gotta love the classics i enjoy them alot

[DragonTycoon]

Is anybody else amazed at how far movies have come in just the last century? I mean, compare this to the V-Rex fight in the new one. They're almost exactly the same, aside from the obvious...just, wow.

[poopmaster13]

@DragonTycoon They don't really compare. Jackson's film was a very good movie. But even he, a fan of the classics, would tell you that it doesn't compare with the original, which is a masterpiece, and was a landmark in filmmaking.

[NikolaiR003]

To me the scene reminds me of King Kong Escapes except with stop motion.

[miryjur]

Fuck. That was seriously brutal, and not for children.

[poopmaster13]

@miryjur I saw it as a kid, and while it scared me, I was fine. Are you kidding? Gojira (1954) "isn't for kids" either, if you want to go there. Some of the things they show, paralleling the real effects our bombs had on poor Japanese civilians, is some very dark, and harsh shit. Plus Godzilla was just menacing and creepy as hell. But those movies WERE my childhood, and I loved them to death. Still do.

[BRIANisALRIGHT]

pause at 3:23

[luckypapi87]

it sounds like a lion..rather than a gorilla roar

[wesrandecker]

@luckypapi87 Surprisingly, I've read that Kong's roar in this movie was a combination of a lion's and a tiger's roar... reversed!!!!!!!

[luckypapi87]

@wesrandecker wow thats incredible...thanks for the info..makes for a good fun fact of the day joke in passing convo with someone lol

[greyalien12]

@wesrandecker that is true

[MrHenryjr0618]

I like it colorized better but the T-rex has a very different roar. It sounds more like a raptor

[ronnied828]

this might be the earliest film of mma, Kong does some jui jitsu !

[peaceman4u]

And my good she DOS screem so much!

[Jaaqo]

Ever heard of deinterlacing?

[aftkm]

I don't like this version! ¬¬

is like casablanca colorized!

[yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo888]

epic ~!

[Themaniacnextdoor]

Okay, which idiot colorized this? Fess up so i can go to your house and go ape!

[celebration81]

Bigger jaws are more important than bigger arms

[SteveSabbai]

...the Coloring looks AWFUL!...

[LukasTeeVee]

is this film supposed to be an example of how an interlaced vid looks like?

[pikipikipiki100]

wtf



[sammydavisjrsr]

This is why you don't mess with a black dudes girl.

[kovik62]

The sound is awesome; nice and clear, not garbled with all the multi-channelling they do nowadays.

[Awesomo5000]

@FortuneAndGlory94

This must be the top rated comment. Now.

[GhostbustersRulez]

Kongs like hold on bitch i gotta go see what my fkn girl is screaming about

[FiraaKeitake]

If I was the king kong I would just slap the girl to shut up. Just saying. Her scream is way too creepy.

[brennen7797]

@FiraaKeitake and a little annoying

[demilov13]

@FiraaKeitake No, her screaming is annoying. Like she really need to shut the eff up.

[supergregory1994]

this is one the best,coolest and epic fighting scene from king Kong when Kong fights the t-Rex . its just straight up awsome

[John22133]

Amazing the assinine comments I read from GROWN ADULTS. Christ...like a bunch of teenaged kids. No wonder the fucking kids today are the way they are. Look at that asshole "FortuneAndGlory" down there. 33 years old. Look at the comment the asshole leaves. Like a 15 year old.

[AleXX1995XX]

@John22133 what? like 15 year old? I`m 16 and I love King Kong!!! since I was 14

[MichaelLeroi]

shame it's interlaced to fuck :(

[GodzillaPictures]

you ruined it!

[jcmmhancock]

When I was a kid, this was my favorite scene. :) Still my favorite movie.

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel  see video book trailer

[groszek647]

brawo dla pani za nauczenie się kwestii do sceny!!

[kmostudios]

I like color in movies all this fuss over whether it gives the movies Character in b/w or not is hearsay in today's technology we have a color control if you want it black and white just turn it down so simple to do and yet they complain why !!

me I'm all for color and if they make them all into 3D then bring it on ...

[adceph]

@kmostudios lol you idiot

[kmostudios]

@adceph well your not very intelligent for calling names, when you no nothing about me do you mister

Also notice you have only 2 subscribers which says plenty to me :) LOL

[adceph]

@kmostudios i know your opinions about black and white film... idiotic. and i'm surprised i even have one subscriber.. i dont make videos

[kmostudios]

@adceph how sad for you sniff :(

[egdeltur666]

This movie was probably why I always had just assumed V. Rex and the allosaur-looking thing from Lost World were red.

Also probably why the 2005 versions bothered me so much... more than them just being cgi.

[UnRhetoricalVideos]

"Blah Blah Blah The Black and White version was better blah blah blah but i watch the colorized version to comment on that blah blah blah"

[John22133]

@UnRhetoricalVideos Black and white version was better.

[Dgamer21]

looks pretty good! I still prefer the black and white version by far since that's what makes it classic, but it's nice to see what this movie would of looked like if it were in color.

[jakethesnakerobertz1]

I Love Kongs roar

[DangerMcDeathface]

Thanks for putting this up. However, the original looks so much better, color just butchers the film. It makes you appreciate the work the crew put into making the scenes look so good without color.

[AleXX1995XX]

they should do a new colorization !

better colors and much more darker :)

and then a great DVD release in USA, UK, Germany,...

that would be great

[captainkommando]

...this is disgusting.

[raymancrazyrabbits]

Woah this is some weird stuff. 

[MegaCoffeecat]

epic battle lol

[Starscream66778]

2:56-enjoying ur "jawbreaker" V-rex?

[namayake]

What a very odd color scheme... It looks quite surreal, almost like the set of an on-stage play. I wonder if that was the intention of the colorization crew?

[GFan1985]

Ann looks like she has jaundice.

[PJtheSuperhog]

The original black and white is always the best..........But i love this to!!!!!

[kobebryantrocks543]

best film ever black and white but good in colour wiked

[TheTremor209]

There were no giant gorilla and-T-rex were harmed during this film.

[kobebryantrocks543]

@TheTremor209

funny guy

[wesgriff1]

Thanks Ted Turner!

[bobszvetics1]

@kilt41 ted turner and jane fonda did it while they were counting teds money

[urtv1]

shitty colourization.

[flossjw1]

I'll give the guys back then credit,at least in this 1933 version, he's only scrappin' with one t-rex,which kinda adds to the believablity factor, even though it's a fantasy.......but in the modern peter jackson version.....he's takin' on 3..count 'em..."THREE"..t-rexes...and winning??!! c'mon man! !........i was like" i know it's a movie but still".....

[hsdzkfjsd]

it looks funny :D

[ceejay75]

i prefer the black and white, much more atmospheric and as intended

[drno62]

Looks very Eighties!

[Gr8gabe]

Haha, I enjoy seeing these old animations.

[StephenHuggins1]

Why Does the T-Rex (or V-rex according to remake), have an itch at 0:09?

[WalDemento999]

Can anybody tell me why the sky is yellow?

[amusedtodeath1]

@WalDemento999 The sun is probally setting off above the horizon some where giving the sky a kind of yellow ting to it.

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Wow, from the first second you can already tell this is 1930's-style two-tone color as opposed to modern 3-tone RGB color.

And for that, I love it! It makes the movie look even more weird and bizarre than it already is!

[dan1elpess0a]

This version sucks!

[TheSuperman401]

HOW DID U!!!!

[NICKREAPER316]

this looks lousy.

[DwightFry78]

Ted Turner. The original George Lucas.

[IMZEECATMAN]

i thought that scene took place at night...

[Oneupgamer]

with the color the screen they used for the effect stands out were as in the black and white version the colors matched and it made a freaking sweet effect

[TheCAWstudios]

I remeber watching this as a little kid and I was a huge fan of dinosaurs, and back then a huge fan of T-rex, so when I saw this scene I almost cried and was too scared to watch the rest. After getting over my nightmares I watched the rest and thought the ending was very good! Now adays I can appreciate the movie more, but still prefer the black and white version, despite having originally seen it in this colour version

[IndianaJoel93]

3:45 looks like that black freind all of us have XD

[piepotatosandturtle2]

this is what inspired jurassic park to do go-motion, unfotunatly it decided to do cgi

[mohawkman2006]

i hate this in color

[WheelsRCool]

Love the grin at 3:46 :D

[WheelsRCool]

I remember when I first saw this film when I was very little, before Jurassic Park had come out, this was the bad-ass stuff up until then! Still is in its own way! Jurassic Park set the standard pretty much up until now we have Avatar which sets a new standard.

[killzilla117]

@WheelsRCool It is true that Stop-Motion is old-school. CGI is the current standard today, but REALLY took the cake for Monster Movies were the rubber suits used for Godzilla and whatnot.

[FatSealVideos]

color version is horrible , looks very artificial

[jerryaltman]

The color design, who design the color for these scene, was probably on LSD.

[Thoralmir]

@jerryaltman Ted Turner

[mooveetraylaguy]

pink rex = gay

[DHBBQ]

@mooveetraylaguy brown rex = not gay

[romaneeto]

Must have wanted to blow Kong's cock.

[alexjes1]

I love this scean!!!

[tdfritzthe1st]

what kind of animation did they use for this movie? I do know that they use computer animation for the 2005 film

[97126562a]

@tdfritzthe1st stop motion animation this was far before computers......

[HenTodolo]

EPIC...:P

[mfnstudioschannel]

@finalninjazeromaster He didn't colorize it. You can get a special DVD (Which I own), that contains both the B&W version, and the colorized version :)

[thejonquil]

I am a traditionlist in the B&W arena, but I must admit this Kong segment of the colorized version is quite impressive. I would like to see the entire film in the colorized version. I do however think most of the old black and whites should be viewed as originally produced. I have seen some black and white films which I thought would have been magnificent in color.

[sentenal01]

Dose anyone have the whole movie in color?

[mfnstudioschannel]

@sentenal01 Yes, I have a DVD that includes both the B&W version, and the colorized version :)

[sentenal01]

@mfnstudioschannel If I may ask, can you put it on youtube?

[mfnstudioschannel]

@sentenal01 It's already on youtube. You can just search for King Kong, and then you'll find the entire movie in color :)

[sentenal01]

@mfnstudioschannel Found it. Thanks!

[Gojigirl55]

I prefer Black and White, but this version is pretty cool too, like something out of an old book of dinosaurs.

[Moseslawgiver]

I do like this colorisation, it isn't at all realistic color and I don't like it because of realism, I like it because it seems even more dream like.

[CULAJAYJUUNANAGOU]

perfect color my friend

congratulations

[superdavid002]

I mention King Kong and others in The Celebrity Song.

[Alegend45]

I am FREAKED OUT by B&W. No offense B&W lovers, but it just freaks me out!

[Moseslawgiver]

@Alegend45 Probably why I like it. Horror films like the original Kong - and all of Hitchcock's suspense films - are so much more creepier and atmospheric in black and white.

Although this particular colorisation is very eerie, I must say ... I like it.

[outofthegreenmist]

Some of the colourised Laurel and Hardy's aren't bad but, even then, I still prefer the black and white originals. Colourisation implies that B&W is inferior, that colourising is the same as "fixing" something wrong with the original - remastering, in a way. This is not correct. B&W is perfectly valid in its own right and, often, superior to colour. The 1933 Kong was eerie and surreal in a way in which neither of the colour remakes could possibly achieve. Who'd watch a colourised "Citizen Kane"?

[johnhrobiii]

As TV Guide said once : "...one shouldn't monkey around with success." johnhrobiii

[outofthegreenmist]

Vandalism. The B&W 1933 version is still my favourite.

[BlackViper29X]

I don't like the colorized version this film is meant to be in B and w.

[egdeltur666]

You guys are all crazy, this wierd "highlighter coloring" look is freaking bad ass. The original still rules, but just because the original movie is black and white isn't an excuse to hate on something that is clearly way too awesome for words.

[mawoh]

@egdeltur666 Absolutely

[Moseslawgiver]

@egdeltur666 Ah, thumbs up for you, it is very badass indeed! I think if Cooper had color film back in '33 it wouldn't have looked much different than this, they got the Dore effects of the jungle spot on in this colorisation, the jungle and yellow, foggy skies in the background of this scene are so surreal and the stuff you'd see in the nature book illustrations that inspired Cooper.

[DarkProphet94]

goddamn you ted turner!

[etiscool1]

For the first time ever I prefer the black and white version. They should re-colorise it with computer effects, not baby puke effects that they had back then. It looks like colorisation in the 1925 version of Ben Hur (it actually had colour originally in some parts but not all the way through) but that had better colours believe it or not.

I've seen worse colorisation on Cartoon "f*cking" Network.

[PersonOfBook]

pretty good for 1933!

[mooveetraylaguy]

I agree with you. The colorization sucks.

[Raidmasterprod]

Pardon to all you King Kong fans, including Peter Jackson, but I always thought the bust shots like the one at 3:43 were just plain freaky!

[worthlessprotoplasm]

When they move it looks like lines moving across Kong and the T-Rex.

[kidinthekolorfullhat]

it looks sort of like a movie poster now...one of the classic ones that were painted. this just looks weird.

[WhenCornAttacks]

The B+W version looks better.

[awesomepivots]

the black and white version looked stunning....this just looks like a weird episode of the land of the lost

[WhenCornAttacks]

Agreed. I know colorizing movies was probably a new thing at the time, but they should have just left well enough alone.

[bogercs]

Is it that possible to turn a B&W video into a life in technicolor version for real? If so then how do I do it?

[WhenCornAttacks]

Go frame by frame adding color in Photshop to EACH still frame in the movie. Thats the only way I can think of. You cant just add color to black and white pictures. The computer does't know what colors you want them to be.

[bomba3211]

3:44  ;D

[rosario508]

I like the fact that there was no music during the fight.

[Bogswallop]

The colour just makes it look like a cartoon. jeez.

[Yourdeadmeat69]

Nobody gets it. The movie was colorized in the style of 2 color technicolor, which was the precursor to three strip process in the mid thirties.  The Mystery of the Wax Museum (1932) was really colored in this method, go see the similarities.

Can't believe the ignorance.

[greek1237]

Think they did a good job for the most part in colorized the film, still against it, but its not too bad. I seen worse color jobs.

[xavierpogi11]

it turns bileniar when someone moves....bad quality....it was ent to be black and white...=(

[MrSuperfly1994]

King Kong's like Oh, Fuck You! at 1:08.

[TripMasterMunky]

Looks like you tried to add color to B&W game boy games on the super game boy or something.

[col1rbtx]

Is that 'Faye Ray' in the scene?

[sansdomicileconnu]

better than the black & white version

my favourite king kong

[yemen04]

hahahahahahah

[730762]

3:23 LOLOL

[fabulbabe]

The colorization on this makes it look ridiculous. Just horribly done.

[HApophis]

haha, pink t-rex

[supradailydriver]

that means it was feminine lol

[spiderlime]

can anyone tell me, am i wrong but kong is sligtly shorter than the dinosaur? or are they the same size?

[niallist]

He's a little shorter, that's why it's so BADASS. He fuckin CLIMBS UP the allosaurus to kill it.

Awesome.

[spiderlime]

that's right! funny i never noticed that before!thanks!

[amartinez97]

ITs a t rex dude..

[megaman2160]

no it is not. t rex does not have 3 fingers. thats an allosaurus.

[niallist]

Yeah man, three fingers. Study up on your dinosaurs, buddy. Dinosaurs are people too.

[Xagzan]

"When Tyrannosaurus rex was first discovered, the humerus was the only element of the forelimb known. For the initial mounted skeleton as seen by the public in 1915, Osborn substituted longer, three-fingered forelimbs like those of Allosaurus." Furthermore, a complete, 2-fingered T-rex forelimb wasn't discovered til '89, 56 years after Kong. So of course they didn't know t-rex only had 2 fingers, same as they didn't know it didn't have such an upright posture. New discoveries = new knowledge

[chriscross584]

@Xagzan it isnt a trex its a vrex good point thoug

[codyhimes]

No it's not. That's only in the 2005 King Kong film. The intended dinosaur here is a T-Rex.

[chriscross584]

@codyhimes not necceceraly if u read the original plot script it sais its a vrex a mutated dinosour

[codyhimes]

Again, maybe in the 2005 film, but definitely NOT for the original. The name V-Rex (short for Vastatosaurus Rex, or something) wasn't coined until Peter Jackson's movie was greenlighted. I believe in his first draft (from 1996), the three dinosaurs are still called T-Rexes.

[chriscross584]

oh sorry guess i missunderstood

[IndianaJoel93]

a V.Rex is supposed to be the desendant of a T.Rex, in fact all of the animals on the 2005 version are evolved forms of the true Dinos we see in museums and stuff

[Xagzan]

Vrexes were fictional creatures invented by Peter Jackson and Weta. This is what they thought a T-rex looked like in 1933.

[tomrule123]

Why, Ted, Why?

[johannes914]

Colors on BW movies is such a stupid idea ...

[deathray393]

It can actually end up looking quite nice, but this was made in 1989, and there was a very small color pallet available.

[drbotanus]

I think that this looks exactly like the early two and three strip technicolor films from the early thirties. That is most likely what they were striving for. Think of Fay Wray's other film, the color Mystery of the Wax Museum. It looks a lot like this. If King Kong had been in color, it would most likely look this way.

[drbotanus]

I've seen quite a few Fay Wray films. Has anyone else noticed that she always looks like she is not wearing any underwear?

Her boobs and tush always seem awfully natural.

Anyone know if she was famous for that or something?

[biofungus]

In 90% of Fay Wray's scenes, she was stop motion animation.

:Þ

[drbotanus]

Thats an absurd ratio, since shots of the real Miss ray are inserted in every scene that she is a puppet, to establish Ann as being real.

However, in the scene where she steals the apple from the cart in Manhattan, both she and Robert Armstrong are stop motion puppets.

[codzilla12]

I lvoe this movie, but I HATE the sound the T-rex makes. They should have used something more frightening that makes it sound like something big and terrifying that can challenge Kong.

[drbotanus]

It sounds like something being played backward and Im sure thats what it is. There has always been some dispute as to what kind of dino this is. Marian C. Cooper always called it Allosaurus. Willis O'brien called it simply, "Meat Eater" and has indicated, along with Marcel Delgado, that the dinosaurs in KK are fictitious creations based on real dinos. Meat Eater is a probably a combination of an Allosaurus and a T-Rex.

[Hyperboi4evr]

This looks like a good colorization, although I would have preferred an alternate color for the T-Rex. Why is it pink??? lol

[drbotanus]

The colors need to be tweaked. It's a reddish brown. Not pink.

I believe that that is the color of the actual puppet.
