Background[]
King Kong (1933)[]
Revered as a god by the people of Skull Island, Kong was encountered by a film crew who traveled to the island in 1933 to shoot Carl Denham's next picture. The crew's leading lady, Ann Darrow, was kidnapped by the islanders and offered as a sacrifice to Kong, who accepted his new "bride" and carried her off into the jungle. There, Kong would defend Ann from the other savage denizens of the island, such as a meat-eating dinosaur, a cave serpent, and a Pteranodon. Once Ann was rescued by Jack Driscoll, Kong followed them back to the village on the island, tearing down its protective wall and rampaging before being knocked out by gas bombs. Denham decided to bring Kong back to New York and put the beast on display, only for Kong to become enraged and break free from his chains, going on a rampage through the concrete jungle. After kidnapping Ann once again, Kong climbed the Empire State Building, where he was engaged by several Curtiss F8C Helldiver planes and fatally wounded. After succumbing to his wounds, Kong fell from the top of the skyscraper and plummeted to his death in the streets below.
The LEGO Batman Movie[]
King Kong appears as one of the many inmates of the Phantom Zone and is later freed by The Joker in an attempt to take over all of Gotham City until he, and the rest of the Uber Villains, were imprisoned back in the Phantom Zone.
Trivia[]
- In The LEGO Batman Movie, King Kong's vocal effects were provided by Seth Green, who reprised his role in the game. In the 2005 film, he is played in motion capture by Andy Serkis.
