“King Kong Lives (1986) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e* 1/2 (out of 4) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSequel to the 1976 remake has Kong in a coma after falling from the World Trade Center. His heart is quickly going back so he needs a mechanical heart installed. Before the doctor (Linda Hamilton) does this, Kong is going to need blood so thankfully thereu0026#39;s a redneck hunter (Peter Elliott) who has captured a female Kong. This movie has the reputation of being one of the worst ever made and people must have believed it because they stayed away from the film when it was originally released and it turned into one of the biggest box office disasters in history. This was a favorite of mine when I was a kid but it really hasnu0026#39;t aged too well. The biggest problem with the film is the film itself because itu0026#39;s never quite clear what the movie is trying to do. The story is all over the place, characters are coming in left and right and the entire Army set up just doesnu0026#39;t make too much sense at all. Iu0026#39;m going to take a wild guess and say this movie was meant for romance because weu0026#39;ve got Hamilton and Elliott falling for each other and weu0026#39;ve got the two Kongu0026#39;s falling in love. Thereu0026#39;s no doubt this is a very stupid movie but thankfully itu0026#39;s dumb enough to be mildly entertaining. The scenes with the two Kongu0026#39;s falling in love are pretty funny as is a scene later in the movie where redneck hunters trap Kong and try to torture him. The ending is just as wild as anything that follows it and I must admit that I found it pretty cute and touching. The special effects are certainly several notches below the previous film but they arenu0026#39;t too bad. Elliott and Hamilton really donu0026#39;t have too much to do because the screenplay doesnu0026#39;t offer them much but both are fine in their roles. What really kills the film from being a true cult item is the fact that weu0026#39;ve got a 75-minute story expanded to 105-minutes, which is way too long.”
