Wilhelm Scream at 2:50 LOL!!

[reddalek555]

that scream isnt in the original Black and White version, whoever colourised this added that in.

[elchava951]

That stupid scream that was added ruined the movie and also parts 7 and 8 are missing..next time post the entire movie without that scream

For some odd reason, both the adventurer Denham and the sailors aren't very impressed with how Kong's island is inhabited by various dinosaurs and other giant beast, aside from the throwaway line Denham says about wanting to bring back one alive (the stegosaurus), he never mentions back in New York that the island had extinct animals that survived extinction.

What was that creature in the beginning?

@jjobie "Sometimes these video versions were made from worn or edited prints. Turner Home Entertainment promises that its new release, made from an archival print, will be the most complete ``Kong`` on cassette."

@jjobie (continued) " Its special effects and animation techniques are as impressive today as when they first astounded audiences in 1933. The idea that color could ``improve`` upon a landmark achievement in filmmaking is bound to antagonize its most devoted audience.But before the accusations of cultural vandalism arise, let`s consider the positive side. ``Kong`` had been licensed to several video companies, but not all the versions sold in stores were worth owning.

@jjobie (continued) "``Kane`` thus far has been spared the paintbox, but Turner may get a similar stormy reaction this month when his new home video company, Turner Home Entertainment, brings out the colorized version of the original ``King Kong.`To the fantasy film buff, ``King Kong`` is as hallowed as Orson Welles`masterpiece.

@KriegDerSterne77 Well this particular movie wasn't colorized until 1989. By that point they were definitely using the computer technique.

Here's an old article about it from the Chicago Tribune: "Colorized `King Kong` May Bug Fans - February 17, 1989|By Andy Wickstrom, Knight-Ridder Newspapers. During the initial uproar over the computer coloring of old films, cable TV magnate Ted Turner joked that he would someday have ``Citizen Kane`` converted just to irritate his critics.
