It looks like there is an audio issue with the score (slight delay) at the 1 hr and 13 min mark. I was unaware as this was my first watch. For me, it had no impact with my viewing experience. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Seen it many times as an all things Kong fan but I lost whatever I had for it and this 4K viewing didn’t help. First off, the pq on the 4k is not that great. Yeah it’s an old film but I was disappointed none the less. Soft and blurry as hell throughout. Maybe a few standout scenes. Doesn’t hold up. If you’ll notice also, the twin towers are nowhere to be found on the jacket art. That art of Kong on the towers was a big hook back in the day. I can only assume they didn’t use them for fear it wouldn’t sell as well for obvious reasons. I mean I get that, but we shouldn’t wipe away what was a big component of this film.

Does this have the TV cut on the 4K, in 4K, or is it the same as the StudioCanal release, on Blu-ray? It’d be great if you spoke of the Special Features as they’re nowhere to be found online.

The only "special feature" on this release is the theatrical trailer, and that's on the Blu-ray. It looks like the Studio Canal version has a few more special features. I didn't know that existed, otherwise I might've opted for that, instead. The steelbook is quite cool, though. Even with that, though, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't at least throw in a promo card with the iconic '76 movie poster with Kong standing on the Twin Towers fighting helicopters. (Heck, even a single digital still of it on the disc would've been nice.)

I noticed the skies looked awfully funny when going closer to my screen. From my couch looked great. You may ask why I would go up to my screen. Well, I was concerned how it might look on a larger screen. I have 65 Sony a8h. I’m definitely concerned for when I move up to a larger screen.

I enjoyed this movie when I saw this in theaters in 1976 I was 11 when this came out. These days this would have gotten A PG-13. But things were different back then my mother dropped me off at the theater. Yeah can imagine that these days 🤦🏻♂️ but anyway I got my copy of this and have watched about 40 minutes of it checking it out. I thought it looked good and the sound is Good. 5.1 DTS Hd master. It was nice seeing this again. I never picked up the Blu-ray of it . Overall I’m very happy with it can’t wait to watch the rest of it now. Nice review

I got this on Amazon pre-order, too. Not sure if I ever watched it all the way through before, so it felt like a 'first watch'. Especially liked the funny, cynical reveal of Kong in NY. The animatronics are really fantastic, and to elaborate on what you said, although this transfer is good enough to make greenscreen obvious, there are also times where (especially for a 1976 monster film) the mix of practical and optical effects looks surprisingly convincing. I think I like this best of all the Kong movies. I'll have to pick a time in the future to watch the extended TV version, provided on the Blu-ray. The only bummer about this release is the near-complete lack of special features, save for the theatrical trailer.

You're not lying... I'm not normally a special features guy, but I was expecting a little something, and there's absolutely nothing on the 4k disc. Also, I just saw this from Bluray.com about the TV cut... The Blu-ray opens with the following on-screen text: "the best available sound and picture elements were assembled for this widescreen King Kong extended broadcast TV cut. This presentation's intent is to preserve the theatrical 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio, however this revealed sequences where audio anomalies are present (loose sync and missing dialogue) that were cropped out of the original 1.33:1 TV broadcast and cannot be remedied. We hope you enjoy this Paramount classic film" Thanks for watching the video, Damon! I appreciate it as always.

Great review, Frank. I may have to get this one myself. I literally just watched this movie on DVD with my dad. All i could think was, "I can't wait for the 4K to come out." It was a much needed clean-up. If you like Charles Grodin, you should most definitely check out 1990's "Taking Care of Business."

Hey Bree! How's it going? For me, I've always liked the Kong movies. To me there's always been a personal storyline that I can attach to. I really like Skull Island...
