Safe to say I was deeply, deeply disappointed back in the Seventies with the decision to go with Rick Baker in a monkey suit and the giant animatronic ape, which was even worse. De Laurentiis made a big mistake in not using the stop-motion technology of the day. Veteran technical wizards like Ray Harryhausen would have turned this version into a far superior product.
shareI disagree. I actually liked how Kong looked in this film. Also stop motion would not have looked better imo. Always looks too cartoony and not real.

I rather they have used the same suit from King Kong vs Godzilla. The fact that the island was in the South Pacific, that suit made the ape appear more Asian looking
shareIt looked downright silly. OG KK was more threatening.
