12:20 **THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD OMG. I used to read that at my elementary school all of the time. Oml the memories.
Love these vids man.
I have almost every 2005 King Kong book there is, but WHAT is that amazing cover at 7:26?? Great video man!
I have the Kong of Skull Island comic book from Boom studio, I enjoyed it a lot
Now that I’ve seen the full video I want to express my thoughts on it. i got distracted by watching the livestream and having to do homework so that’s why I didn’t type this earlier.
Absolutely amazing video. Everything from BritJackFilms, the Randy Newman joke, and to the books you describe and mention are spectacular.
You never cease to amaze me about the amount of King Kong Trivia your bring to your videos. To me you are the definitive King Kong youtuber of all time. Nothing will ever come close.
I’m gonna definitely try to get my hands on Kong King of Skull Island, The Making of King Kong 2005, maybe World of Kong History of Skull Island, King Kong Cometh, Kong Unmade The lost Films of Skull Island, and of course King Kong: History of A Movie Icon.
My first exposure was in 6th grade, I saw the Crestwood House book and its captivating cover and immediately borrowed it, the pictures drew me in and my local library had both the B&W and colorized copies of the 33 film, rented them both and never turned back.
That bit w/ the intro got a chuckle out of me.
As much as I loved the movies, I really enjoyed the expanded mythology with the books. My favorite being “the world of Kong: a natural history of skull island” by weta
Storm Studios Films which I seriously wish had a online version so I don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars just to read the dang thing
Nice to see a fellow patron of the Silver Snail. I have the original novelization, got it for Christmas, read it and loved it. I also have "The World of Kong" and "King Kong: The History of a Movie Icon, from Fay Wray to Peter Jackson" as well as "King Kong: The Island of the Skull." I'm always in pursuit of knowledge of my favourite movie monster and this new book you aided in has caught my interest. Also, I'm on the search for "King Kong vs. Tarzan", one of the plans for the unmade Dark Horse Comics for Kong brought to life as a regular novel and may prove more interesting that the Netflix way of bringing it to life.
11:01 That Randy Newman bit was the best part of this video.
Sweet but other books than my novel The Lost World of Michael Crichton are Godzilla Aftershock and Monster Manuals of Dungeons and Dragons.
I have that World of Kong book. My grandpa got it for me for Christmas back in 2005. I love it so much.
Great job on the video Jack. A fantastic deep dive into the wide variety of King Kong books that have appeared over the years. I am going to call you the Pagemaster now. Keep up the great work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
BigJackFilms I did. Also, you gotta review the pagemaster at some point.
I got the novelization of Peter Jackson's version back in 2005.
0:17 Every salesman that always appear on those vacation trips. 😂
In my case, I feel fortunate to own "The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island." A shame it's out of print, I consider it a MUST for Kong fans; it's like the BBC "Walking With" trilogy, but in print and centering around Peter Jackson's version of Skull Island and its inhabitants. I also happen to own Ray Morton's book, Joe DeVito's "Kong: King of Skull Island" and his recently released "King Kong of Skull Island. Part One: Exodus." I too happen to have Anthony Browne's book; him casting the late, great Marilyn Monroe as Ann Darrow is *interesting* IMO. Makes one wonder (🤔)...
I happen to own a mini version of "The Making of King Kong" by Jenny Wake, detailing the behind-the-scenes story of Peter Jackson's film. Finally, I have the novelizations of "King Kong 2005" and "Kong: Skull Island," plus a copy of Russell Blackford's "Kong Reborn."
I now want to own all of these also that book for Disney's Dinosaur I saw on your shelf btw I never knew Kong 05 had a full blown Dark Horse comic other than the mini comic we would get with the action figures.
The King Kong Reborn book is pretty good. A bit lengthy at nearly 400 pages, but it's worth the read. Certainly would make for a fun movie...but as you pointed it...it does tread on the JP DNA reconstruction thing a bit.
hey j w, funny stomplinginto you here, although considering the subject matter i guess i really shouldent be surprised
But at least THERE Kong's DNA was still in tact and hadn't decayed over the years. So, it was a bit more plausible... well, as plausible as a pulpy thriller about a resurrected giant gorilla who fights dinosaurs gets anyway.
12:02: And the T-Rex is replaced with an Allosaurus.
I laughed at the if Randy Newman doing the song for King Kong 😂
Famous Monster was never the most reliable magazine .
They once claimed that one of Hammer Mummy movies ended with bombers blowing up the mummy.
There is a pulp story that came out in 2013 called Doc Savage: Skull Island. Where Kong meets the Man of Bronze in the 1920's.
Nice another King Kong review!
Thanks again!
totally love the review bud totally epic wish i could find the books
I got Skull Island Birth of Kong along with both Godzilla Awakening and Aftershock. Will be picking up the 2 new ones for GvK.
Lol I'm just watching king kong movie and this pops up great timing
Which one was it?
@@TheKevinKruger king kong vs godzilla 1962
@@dend6064 Cool
I bought THE KING KONG STORY that you show at the 28:10 mark at a grocery store either in late 1976 or early ‘77, and it was the first source that I’d seen of QUEEN KONG. It even included a photo of her.
My lord this video was great and informative. even with the clip of the kong encounter that still scares me
I love King Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island.
*i mean the World of Kong
I still have my original copy of THE GIRL IN THE HAIRY PAW (Avon Books, 1976), though it’s tattered and in pieces with a broken spine. It’s in such bad shape that I purchased a new copy that’s surprisingly in good condition. It’s similar to the later KING KONG COMETH (which I also own) in the sense that it’s a compilation of essays and articles by various writers. It even includes a segment hypothesizing on the proportions of Kong’s genitalia.
Yo I just bought the Kong Unmade book, looks very interesting 👍🏻
I feel like that opening's a parody of something I saw on PBS, but I don't remember what it was
Loved your UK counterpart.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That Randy Newman song had me rolling.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Why are you throwing that rare, classic comic book around like that? Respect, little brother, respect!
4:17 PTFFF!!! you brought up film theory! XD I already knew that video would be known by some Kong fans. Lol
Kong’s species have always been titans.
No offense but you forgot about Kong the 8th Wonder of the world comic book that came after you got king kong action figure from Playtails? I got that long time ago go I'm collecting play tell King Kong toys because items I have all the King Kong can I play around with my imagination of Kong and I did not know that was you in this book Kong Unmade: the Lost film of Skull Island I didn't know you in this book and yeah I just love you guys mention all the books I just got for inspiration and and describe the whole story from an unmade project that I like to get the idea like that of course I've always got the idea like that that because I liked the film and I really love to see you because this is what type of pill I like to see the film or touching a billable become my fav with some stuff I like to see the film and finally do you mention the world of Kong well I got that book so long time ago because I to see more creatures and the creature design and I want to make my movie and put some of the creatures of my film.
I have honestly been starting to read a lot of books for the last year and some of these books I would definitely like to own in my line up one day also I actually remember my teacher reading Anthony brown’s King Kong book to me and my class in second grade
20:59 Oh no! He killed Kong!
My mum owned that 60's Kong comic and gave it to me! I loved that one!
Also, did you know there's a book that pits Kong against Tarzan?
Now I want to own that comic! ^^
You should review some of the King Kong toys in a future episode!
I have the Mezco Kong figure It's a pretty cool figure!
Cool idea!
I can't wait 4 U 2 review King Kong on home video & hopefully we will get an updated hardcover version of that book.😁
I hope so too!
@@BigJackFilms Yeah because my copy starting 2 fall apart as well.😕
@@BigJackFilms gotta be honest jack, i think what most people's (and my) facination with Gaw is that like Kong she feels less like just a dinosaur and like kong more like a mythical beast which makes her more of an interesting and worthy rival to the king of all apes (not that the t-rex isent a worth foe)
Love your channel you should try to cover some of the lost Dragon ball Media
At least there wasn't a comic adaptation made by Frank Miller post Dark Knight Strikes Again or by Rob Liefield
there’s also a novel called after King Kong fell
Jack, just discovered you and love your channel. Just want you to know, as a published author, I give this episode my seal of approval and think you deserve way more subscribers. On that note, I actually own copies of both The World of Kong and Kong Reborn and would be willing to lend them to you if your interested. Let me know what you think.
Also, I love your Kong fan film, I respect anybody with dedication to what they enjoy.
Mr Buchanan, my offer is always on the table if you ever want to take me up on it.
12:53 OMG that is so cute
Who else noticed that Kong '76 was playing on his TV in the background?
Thank you very informative.
What is that book that inclides Space Monster Wangmagwi?
28:48
27:49 I hope so.
When are you going to review the king kong video formats or the king kong Broadway show?
When are you gonna do that video format review?
What would you say is your all-time favorite Kong comic(s)?
Could you make a video called Top 10 of your favorite Kong moments?
You should make a video about King Kong toys
Ok 1 question where’s the review on the King Kong on broadway did u missed the show
do king kong toys next
Well there's tons of kong toys throughout the video so why not
Hey jack, can you please look up my LEGO King Kong Teaser and what do you think of it?
I hope you get Merian C. Cooper's King Kong, a rewrite of the original 1932 novelization which is the basis of the King Kong of Skull Island property!!!
Do you know anything about the book Carl Denhem Giant Monsters by Frank Stritto ?
I do not. Any insight helps.
Could you please make a video of the comic by Dark Horse? I really want to see it in full
Having now read the book KONG: AN ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY BY EDGAR WALLACE, which features both one of Wallace's original scripts and basically a biography on the prolific writer, his life and his involvement with Kong, i can now say that honestly Merian C. Cooper while deserving his credit really screwed Wallace over after his Death, "the finished film contains nothing written by Edgar Wallace" i call bullcrap on that, the majority of the story is all there despite the differences, i will never understand why Cooper was so Insistant that he was the one and ONLY creator of Kong, he deserves his credit to be sure but he was already a hero of two wars, an explorer and a famous movie producer, it was based on an idea of his, we wouldent have King kong today if it wasent for him, ruth rose, james creelman and Ernest Schoedsack, but i honestly think that Edgar Wallace deserves to be recognized as the true creator of the kong we know, or at least equally so to Merian c. Cooper
Ever heard of the King Kong vs. Tarzan book by Will Murray?
22:15
CRACKHEAD KONG
Excellent Randy Newman bit!
Skip 'Kong Unbound' the only thing good about it is the cover illustration, and even if you have to take out a second mortgage 'The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island ' is a must have. My recommendation for a hidden gem is the pastiche 'King Kong vs Tarzan' by Will Murray which is set in the, for lack of a better term DeVito Verse of Joe Devito, which fits in effortlessly between the DeVito's updated adaption of the original novel and titled as 'Marion C Cooper's King Kong' and Devito's 'Kong:King of Skull Island.'
Have you read skullisland birth of Kong which ties into the monsterverse version of Kong including his birth
You should do a review on the king Kong toys
If someone was making a comic of the 96 script who would you want it to be dark horse or idw those are the only comic places that I know
Amazing video there is a lot of good Kong books
I think so too!
@@BigJackFilms yeah your right about that
I want those V-rex figures!!!!!
I just got Birth of Kong in the mail today
I do have that John Landis book called Monsters in the Movies
Favorite book of all time is a Kong book, favorite FILM of all time is a Kong film, least favorite film of all time is supposedly a Kong film, what’s next? He’ll one day say that Kong: The Animated Series is his favorite TV show of all time?
I got the Natural history of king kong for 45 dollars because I'm guessing the seller didn't know its value. It came with a Narnia book as well
I would get the last book that you showed at the ending if you said that this has everything about the history then I'll buy it on Amazon and the lost Kong films book
69? * N I C E *
Do U own the book on War Eagles? That Willis O'Brien film that never saw the light of day, which would've been the successor 2 King King in Technicolor. I wish that movie would've been made & both of us would really like it.😁 I hope U do a video of it, my friend.😎
3:09 I have that kong figure
I wish world of Kong had a online version so you don’t have to pay fricken hundreds of dollars to get a copy
24:02 Ok I’m buying that book and Kong, King of Skull Island.
In Elementary, I Read Kat Kong & Dogzilla to Hell and Back
Know what’s funny?
The planet of the apes cartoon had a giant ape creature similar to King Kong
No I’m not fucking with you. He appears in multiple episodes too
You should read King Kong vs. Gigantosaurus
heh, nice roast at film theorist.
god i hate that theory..
@@LarsTonguesInAspix yeah it barely takes a good thought to realize how bad it is
For the next king kong reviews you should do king Kong toys like what you did with the jurassic park legacy reviews
Good video
I still want to see Kong mate with Annie Dawn Darrow in a fan film. Will someone please make that fan film!!!???!!😤😡💔😭
I am a fan of king kong and planet of the apes
i read cat kong.
At least it's not called the s.s java queen
Cool
조 드비토가 쓴 킹콩 해골섬 읽고 싶더라고요
25:40 Frank Frazetta?
