Synopsis
Features the King Kong films King Kong (1933), King Kong Escapes, and King Kong vs Godzilla. King Kong (1933) is the story of the giant ape who wreaks havoc in the city of New York. In King Kong Escapes, the giant ape monster's skills are required for a science project by Doctor Who and his helpers. When a mechanically devised robot version of the creature cannot do the job, the team of scientists must go and retrieve the real King Kong himself. But no sooner do they get their hands on the enormous beast than they realise they are no match for a creature of his size. Calling on his robotic impostor for help, the scientists unknowingly bring terror upon themselves. In King Kong vs Godzilla, a Japanese businessman named Mr. Tako hears that a native tribe on the island of Farou possesses abnormally large berries and sends his employees Sakuri and Furue to retrieve the fruit. Better yet, he tells them to also capture King Kong, a gorilla monster who has become gigantic as a result of eating the berries. On their way back to Japan, the team wrestles to gain control over the enormous and powerful creature, which breaks free just as another notorious monster, Godzilla, is released from the block of ice where he's been hidden for the last seven years.

The basic story is of Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong), who makes those cute little animal pictures that are going out of style. If he wants to stay in business he must add a female interest and some excitement. Circumstances forcing him to leave port quickly, he meets a girl Ann Darrow (Fay Wray), that is down on her luck and convinces her that he will make her a star (on the up and up).
Things get complicated as you know it is bad luck to bring a woman onboard a freighter. And Ann really stirs them up including the first mate, Jack Driscoll (Bruce Cabot). On top of this she has a large date awaiting her at Skull Island.
I will not tell the rest of the story just incase you are one of the few that has missed the movie. But as you have guessed it includes a big ape named KONG. Not that cheesy thing that is always tussling around in Japanese movies, but a much more convincing Kong that can show great emotion.
You are about to watch the eight wonder of the world.
