I never thought I'd live to see Caravan of Garbage doing the oldest movie they've ever done, let alone twice. I sat the kids in front of the computer and said 'this here children, this is history.'
The Wizard of Oz: The first Marvel movie? Gone with the Wind: Not woke enough, or too woke? Dracula: Come on, mate, vampires can get sexier than this! Frankenstein: So wait, the DOCTOR'S name is Frankenstein? How come nobody mentioned this before? Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Wait, I thought it was "dwarves"!
Wow, what a bargain! Not only did they review King Kong, but also the entirety of 1896's "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat" within the first few minutes! Kudos! 🙂👍
King Kong (1933) is probably the movie that defines what would become the “Blockbuster” we know of today because it’s all about the spectacle and the stop motion animation at the time and still is really impressive
Typically, the first blockbuster is attributed to "Birth of a Nation". White people didn't love anything more than being racist, not even watching the god of an island of black people, a giant black ape named after an area of Africa, fall in love with and steal a blonde white woman, get chained up and shipped to the US for money, then go on a rampage when he's free and get killed by- ah now we see why it wasn't just a hit but one of the first true blockbusters.
It really is remarkable how much it resembles a modern blockbuster, decades before the term was even coined. The pacing, the fight sequences, the emphasis on spectacle, the shit acting, etc. It’s all pretty commonplace now, but I just can’t imagine in 1933 being like “Hey, check out our movie where a giant gorilla fights a fucking dinosaur.”
It was more a b horror movie foe its time elevated by special effects rather than a blockbuster, the concept wasn't a thing back then and it isn't really something thst could be seen as a pioneer of the concept just because it made a lot of movie. Otherwise something like a birth of a nation would be a blockbuster or gone with the wind.
One of the interesting things about Son of Kong was it showed what happens to a guy when he's responsible for shipping in a violent, giant gorilla that unsurprisingly got loose and went on a rampage. The movie opens with Carl Denham being sued by everybody and their second cousin. He flees the country along with some woman who is on the lamb from the law or something (I forget the details.) The movie also answers James' question of, "would they miss Kong?" When Denham and I think some of the original ship crew from the first movie return to the island the people living there are feeling kind of lost without their god. Something like that. It's been almost 20 years since I've watched it so my memory is fuzzy.
So I take it the city didn’t buy it when Denham tried to blame it all on Ann by saying “beauty killed the beast” I thought I just didn’t fully understand that line when I was a kid, but as an adult I’m like “oh, he’s just trying to pass the blame off on someone else entirely, yuck”
The reason they went with the ZS Justice League aspect ratio is because they saw how Rebel Moon was viewed more times than Barbie and realized Snyder must be a visionary genius. Also the reason its in black and white is because this is the "Gorilla Is Grey" version of the film.
Not gonna lie, I would be thrilled to watch just an entire video of James and Maso sitting by the fire in fancy suits ranting about the veracity of numbers.
I'm old, born in the late 60s, and this movie was magic to me growing up. It's janky, but so many more memorable moments than most 3 hour cgi slogs we have today. Awesome to see you guys give this early blockbuster some love. Was really looking forward to this.
*Little known fact: the pilot of the airplane that flew at Kong on the skyscraper was named "RODNEY" and was the inspiration for a character named "Corn of Coblin" who went on to become the "Green Goblin." But back then, green didn't show up in the black and white film as well as the color blue. So they spent 8 months scouring, or "harvesting" blue corn to be used in the film, leading to the working title of the movie being code named "Blue Harvest"*
You know a movie is memorable when you haven't seen it in 35 years... And you remember every scene shown! Can't tell you more than a couple scenes from Justice League
Extrapolating from that accelerating rate of reboots, we're about due another one. Guessing they'll start over as soon as _Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire_ has been released. And following that we should be getting a reboot almost every day.
Apparently there's more recent discussion that the whole spider pit thing was an urban legend, and the scene was never even filmed. It's a whole thing.
This is the movie that gave Ray Harryhausen the drive to be in movies. He learned everything he knew about stop motion animation from the man that did the animation in this movie. This movie helped create a legend in stop motion animation.
Please do the train arriving at the station film next. Maybe a tier list of different trains arriving at different stations films? Just a thought. Hope this helps
Can’t believe you have gone this far back with the caravan of garbage. You love to see it. Can we get a Gladiator caravan of garbage? Even though it’s definitely not garbage.
One of the greatest films of all time. It's great, not just for its being an amazing technical achievement in 1933, but great on its own. This film stands up even today. I've seen it maybe 25 times. I used to own the 60th anniversary VHS edition with the button on the front that played Kong's roar. And I'll give you a controversial opinion before I leave you: the 1976 version with Jeff Bridges is pretty damn good too. It's strange how Peter Jackson's godawful 2005 version was supposed to be a loving homage to the original, but wound up being far more like the 1976 version. Here's why: in the original, Ann Darrow wants nothing to do with Kong. KONG IS THE BAD GUY! She doesn't feel sad when he dies or try to keep him from being killed. But in 1976 Jessica Lange feels pity for Kong and wants to save him. In the original, Jack Driscoll wants to save Ann and destroy Kong, but in 1976 Jeff Bridges feels sorry for Kong and wants to save him. In the original, Carl Denham is a straight shooter who plays fair by his men and shows bravery. But in 1976 Charles Grodin is an exploitative con man and abuser. That being said, the different take on the characters and the story doesn't stop John Guillermin's film being a fun adventure. But Peter Jackson's version is cinematic puke. Thank god Jack Black's day in the sun is over.
The point about Jackson's remake being more like DeLaurentiis' is so true. In both cases they totally missed the reason behind the tragedy in the 1933 classic. We feel sorry for Kong on our own -- Ann Darrow doesn't do it for us. Although I think the '76 remake is terrible, I agree it's still better than that gawdawful mess from '05.
90 years on and still great! I've seen this classic more times than I can count. The pacing, acting, effects, music -- all of it so sublimely satisfying. None of the remakes/spinoffs come close. And Fay Wray is such a babe!❤😊
Very rare to have a movie these days where you actually have 10 to 20 of your boys around when you need to do some stuff. Now you get 2 to 4 of your boys at most, and that just isn't enough. That's one of the many reasons a movie like Furiosa stands out, because anytime something big needs to be done, there are actually enough of your boys around to make something happen.
I grew up watching these movies on tv back in the 1970's and I would rather watch these than 90 percent of the films today. I hate it when people put down old movies just because they are old.
I think all concerts and events would be improved if there was a chance that instead of seeing your favorite star they just let loose dangerous wildlife in the venue. Really spice things up
Loved it as a kid, still love it as an adult. Tons of fun. The effects aren't super realistic but Kong and the other monsters have real personalities. For example, I was really impressed by the scene where Kong breaks the dinosaurs jaw and then plays with its dead body, curious as to what he did to the creature.
I think we can all agree we would like to see a CoG on the move that's just the train coming into the station and people thought it was a real train going to hit them.
The editors for CoG are always so damn good! You know what they'd have a great time with? 1999's Mystery Men, the original and most influential superhero movie of all time!
This Caravan of Garbage is phenomenal. I can't stop laughing. The banter is on point, the edit is even better because of it, really stellar work to all four of you. This movie really is quite amazing when you see just what they were able to pull off back in 1933, and despite some of the more dated aspects like racism and the treatment of women (and animals because that Stegosaurus didn't deserve it), the story itself actually holds up. Having seen the 1976, I don't really get what they were thinking, and they kind of go a bit too far in the relationship between Dawn and Kong. 1933 becomes a bit annoying with how much Ann screams and can't handle being around him, 1976 goes too far where Dawn is just totally cool with Kong stripping her down and almost kind of falling in love with him, too, but hey, that movie also had Kong go up the Twin Towers just a few years after they were completed, so you know, keep the tradition going I guess. Personally for me, my favorite version is Jackson's 2005 movie because it is a love letter to the 1933 one, while having all the things that didn't work or hold up in the 1933 version gone or made more palatable, and you also get the bug pit, it's just the best. Extended Version goes a bit far in places, but I still like it. I've been meaning to pick up a copy of the 1933 movie though just because I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I have, and to kind of complete the collection so to speak, but that might also require getting the 1976 version, which, eh. But 1933 and 2005 are good. The other interpretations of Kong I have seen, well, he's cool. Japan has Godzilla, America has King Kong (and other apes, we really do love our apes in cinema from Kong to Mighty Joe Young and a ton of Planet of the Apes movies), we love our big monsters.
I want more movies in the public domain, the amount of footage they had to work with not only probably aged the editor which is hilarious because it’s an old movie, but it also gave them so much to work with I also get more jokes per second. Keep feeding my addictions with the lives of the editor monkeys boys!
Ben and Lawrence’s editing gags are so clever that I’m not sure whether @19:58 (when James says RKO, and they show Kevin Owens hitting Chad Gable with a stunner) if they actually don’t know the difference between the two moves or if they’re just trying to bait wrestling fans for engagement..
Max Steiner is the film score icon of the 1930s-50s. Casablanca, Gone with the Wind...he inspired so much of modern film scoring, being named by multiple stars like John Williams as the first great film composer. I'm glad you mentioned his name, though it is pronounced "Shteiner" 😝
"Get yourself a Yogo" pairs up well against "grab dat gem", hope it sticks around. Can't wait for the boyos to give their notes on the Aussie classic next week, 'Saw Yer Leg Off'.
The spider pit scene is a myth. They never actually got round to filming it and two other scenes cause the budget was out of control. All they got were test photos. Sorry to be that guy haha
@@TechnologicallyTechnical His wife did, and Copper made the claim of the supposed test screening, but there's just no evidence beyond those claims. They had done test shots, that's where the photos came from. But if you read all the production schedules, it was struck from the script before they planned to shoot. There's two other scenes and none of the three are on the day to day shooting schedule paperwork.
Green Trivia: King Kong went to star alongside Legend of the Game: Anthony 'Kouta' Koutofides in the Souvlaki Hut commercial, the greatest advert to grace the small screens.
Yogo was delicious. They had those split moulded ones where one half was traditional Yogo but the other half was crunchy bits of whatever and you tipped the unknown crunchy material into said Yogo and it was fucking bliss. Bring back Yogo!
I've watched this one so many times. It's hilarious, and unlike a lot of their other pieces like the superhero movies, I don't need a lot of context to appreciate it. Also, so much of it is about technical aspects which I also find fascinating.
Warched it for CoG and really enjoyed it! The story, the characters, the spectacle - it’s all good! Had a lot more fun than during the Godzilla. A metaphor for world-ending weapons that should have never been created? Nyah, better give me “beauty and the beast, women amarite, boys?” about a hundred times over!
Alright Boys, let’s leave a like!

"...it was a woman that killed the bloke."
Godzilla x Kong: All Right Boys
Too funny
It's a very important film but its downfall is ultimately not giving Kong his famous gauntlet earlier, which makes this movie "too boring" and "old"
This was pre MCU, there wasn't a precedent for gauntlets in cinema yet so the studios were too scared to go with it
Yuck.
PINELY MENTIONED 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 ITS PINING TIME
Don't forget king kong ripped off Zack Snyder's aspect ratio
Holy balls Pinely commenting on a Mr Sunday video?!?
This video was good but it wasn't as good as the spider thing.
That spider thing was crazy!
I wish they recorded more of it
Yeah Madame Web really was a great movie.
A masterpiece!!!
Not as good as King Homer.
When you said record breaking, I was totally expecting the record to be for most episodes of Caravan of Garbage
That is also true
Gonna be pretty hard to top that tho. Its a remarkable achievement
I never thought I'd live to see Caravan of Garbage doing the oldest movie they've ever done, let alone twice. I sat the kids in front of the computer and said 'this here children, this is history.'
They gotta do Metropolis at some point and break the record again
They should do an even older one next week!
Or am I a madman? Maaaad, you say?!
@@Dave175always was curious about Metropolis. Id love if my first exposure to it was these two bozos talking abt it
Then follow that up with The Cabinet of Dr Caligari and break the record AGAIN
@@Dave175 They could do Metropolis when they review Superman Legacy
I would love it if you guys covered all the old classics like this. The Universal monster movies would be great.
Yes! Nosferatu 2024 is around the corner too.
The Wizard of Oz: The first Marvel movie?
Gone with the Wind: Not woke enough, or too woke?
Dracula: Come on, mate, vampires can get sexier than this!
Frankenstein: So wait, the DOCTOR'S name is Frankenstein? How come nobody mentioned this before?
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Wait, I thought it was "dwarves"!
@@augustthepineapple such a missed opportunity if they don't rename it "No24atu" and make the 2 backwards to look like an S.
The thing from another world, blob, etc!
Abbott and Costello Meet X might get a biiiiit meta.
Fun Fact: King Kong's roar was a lion's roar and a tiger's roar combined, slowed down, and run backward.
Well, that is actually a fun fact, thanks.
That is cool. They did something similar for Star Wars for Chewbacca's voice
What animals did they combine to get Fay Wray's scream tho?
At this point I read “fun fact:” and I assume it’s going to be a blue harvest joke
And then if you speed it up and play it backwards you can hear Kong say "hail satan"
I don't know about you guys but I always find it more immersive in a movie when someone gets killed and shouts "Ugh, I'm dead and I'm dying".
Welp, that happened
How else are you supposed to know?
Wow, what a bargain! Not only did they review King Kong, but also the entirety of 1896's "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat" within the first few minutes! Kudos! 🙂👍

The original title of this movie was "Grey Harvest."
I came here for this
They hadn't invented blue yet.
Which was the style at the time
Actually, it was called 'Rabbit Harvest' as a tribute to all the rabbits used for Kong's fur
That’s very similar to “blue harvest” which is the working title for the original Star Wars.
2 records in 2 videos? Now this is the fresh content we deserve

1933 King Kong is fantastic. Used to be an event when it came on TV. I still watch it all the time. Love the native language scene.
Can’t believe you have gone this far back with the caravan of garbage. You love to see it.
Can we get a Gladiator caravan of garbage? Even though it’s definitely not garbage.
Just watched this again a couple weeks ago. It’s an action spectacle if you’ve never seen it, definitely check it out as soon as possible.
Between the opening of this episode, and next week being Rubber if im not mistaken, I'm here for the absolutely unhinged Mr Sunday Movies era.

Mr Sunday Movies has done a video on the original King Kong?..... definitely dropping everything I'm doing at the moment!
Calling it at 0:44 - Next week; Fritz Lang's Metropolis! Gotta keep smashing those records.
update at 21:37; hmmm, must be The Snyder cut of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
It could be written each time: next level editing.
The wrestling scene is awesome, it's properly coreographed to the level where it's genuinely better than most modern grappling scenes
The editors for CoG are always so damn good! You know what they'd have a great time with? 1999's Mystery Men, the original and most influential superhero movie of all time!
That was a Stunner, but I appreciate the wrestling reference.

fire editing. the "2 lads in a study" scenes might have become my favorites
I enjoy how James and Mason turned into Terrance and Phillip in front of the fireplace

Genuinely one of the greatest films of all time. Thank god it’s not 3 hours long and overly self indulgent.
Saw that '05 drek in the theater and once was more than enough. Had to watch the original again that same night.

Max Steiner is the film score icon of the 1930s-50s. Casablanca, Gone with the Wind...he inspired so much of modern film scoring, being named by multiple stars like John Williams as the first great film composer. I'm glad you mentioned his name, though it is pronounced "Shteiner" 😝
"...or they flip it..." (Inserts footage of Gorilla Anakin doing a big flip.)
That is S-tier editing. Bwillant. 5 stahs.
"Get yourself a Yogo" pairs up well against "grab dat gem", hope it sticks around.
Can't wait for the boyos to give their notes on the Aussie classic next week, 'Saw Yer Leg Off'.
The split second clip of the sexy cyber woman lets you know this is a laurence edit
91 years old. Amazing 🐒
Only a matter of time before we get the "Gone with the Wind" episode of CoG.
MORE FLOATING HEAD, FIRESIDE CHAT JAMES AND MASO
The spider pit scene is a myth. They never actually got round to filming it and two other scenes cause the budget was out of control. All they got were test photos. Sorry to be that guy haha
Didn’t the stop motion animator claim it to be his best work?
@@TechnologicallyTechnical His wife did, and Copper made the claim of the supposed test screening, but there's just no evidence beyond those claims. They had done test shots, that's where the photos came from. But if you read all the production schedules, it was struck from the script before they planned to shoot. There's two other scenes and none of the three are on the day to day shooting schedule paperwork.
1933's King Kong: The Original 'Great Special Effects, But Where's the Story?' Blockbuster
Love that donkey Kong background music
the ggh riff was incredible
I love the original King Kong but since they're doing this one I'm also very excited that they're going to do the 1976 one, which is my favorite.
I loved that yall had the Donkey Kong music playing during TRIVIA! 1933! segment 😂😂😂😂
Green Trivia: King Kong went to star alongside Legend of the Game: Anthony 'Kouta' Koutofides in the Souvlaki Hut commercial, the greatest advert to grace the small screens.
I have to know if the Trivia! 1933! King Kong! gorilla animation is one of the assets James dug up when researching the Souvlaki Hut video
Yogo was delicious. They had those split moulded ones where one half was traditional Yogo but the other half was crunchy bits of whatever and you tipped the unknown crunchy material into said Yogo and it was fucking bliss. Bring back Yogo!
Great animation in this video Ben & Lawrence!
I've watched this one so many times. It's hilarious, and unlike a lot of their other pieces like the superhero movies, I don't need a lot of context to appreciate it. Also, so much of it is about technical aspects which I also find fascinating.
It would be incredible if you guys covered the classic universal monsters!!!
Warched it for CoG and really enjoyed it! The story, the characters, the spectacle - it’s all good! Had a lot more fun than during the Godzilla. A metaphor for world-ending weapons that should have never been created? Nyah, better give me “beauty and the beast, women amarite, boys?” about a hundred times over!
