Review of King Kong Lives (1986) by Rcavey92212 — 14 May 2020
When I first saw this as a kid at 6 y/o I remember liking it. Almost 35 years later I've gone out of my way to get a copy because its been discontinued. So I spent a decent amount. Boy what a mistake because this movie is the pits. Picking up after the events of the not so great 70s version. Kong is given an artificial heart transplant and they've captured a female. When he finally awakes he goes on a little rampage because he senses her. They get together and act all cute while a scientist and an explorer. One of them played by a usually great Linda Hamilton (Terminator) whose just not very good here. And then you know the rest military goes after them, big showdown yada, yada, yada. The effects are okay but look goofy. The movie is dragging and a boring which is surprising considering the amount of action.
It's really just quite bad.
Budget: $18m.
Box Office: $4.
