King Kong Lives (1986) Retrospective Review: Exploring the Forgotten Sequel !

[@Phil-r6k]

I saw KING KONG LIVES on the big screen on my birthday when the film was first released (1986). I recall it being described as, “The sequel that nobody asked for to a film nobody liked.”

That looked awesome where he ate the guy ... Pretty good articulation in the mouth. 😂

This review is pretty good I find myself liking the movie quite a bit, it’s like if cannon made a monster movie and while it isn’t high art, it does succeed in being entertaining. It probably has the best music out of the kong movies and is note worthy in being the last kong film with practical effects.

It's not quite on the level of KING KONG VS. GODZILLA or KING KONG ESCAPES, but it's almost as bad.

Did Oliver Harper inspire your review style?

[@MatsMovieReviews]

Inspired yes 👍 I like the format of the documentary style ! Thanks for the comment

saw this today, wasn't bad but a little boring, some of the Kong/Lady Kong humor were a bit stupid.

[@MatsMovieReviews]

The movie certainly suffers with 70’s film editing and yes there are many elements that don’t make sense ! Especially why the movie was made !! Thanks for the comments and I hope you enjoy the review 👍

@@MatsMovieReviews i really liked the previous one so i was quite excited when i found it had a sequel, to like b-movies and this was quite enjoyable with a few great moments.. still hard to accept it was directed by the same guy.

[@MatsMovieReviews]

Yes I agree ! I was pretty shocked too !!!

[@CubanPete1990]

You know what Movie director name John Guillermin and Italian movie producer name Dino De Laurentiis should not Make a King Kong Sequel Called King Kong Lives they should canceled the production and they should sold it to the Japanese movie studio called Toho and they can use King Kong character for there Popular monster movie called Godzilla Vs Spacegodzilla (1994)!

[@MatsMovieReviews]

Maybe they should have lol 😂👍
