King Kong (King Kong - 1976 1.) (1976) 71% 44★

– Oh, my god! What a meaningful miracle! Do you realize that I owe my life to a movie?
– Is that so?
– I swear to god. You see, Harry was showing this film that I refused to watch. And that's why I was up on deck by myself. Did you ever meet anyone before whose life was saved by „Deep Throat?”

– You all right?
– Just fell in a damn hole.
– No, you didn't.
– What do you mean I didn't? Look at me!
– You're not in a hole. That's a footprint.

– You really think that's gonna ring the bell, promise oil, bring back a monkey?
– Look at that Exxon campaign. "We'll put a tiger in your tank.” It did zillions with just a paper tiger!

– Before you cry a lot, you oughta ask the natives on that island what they thought of losing Kong.
– Actually, they'll miss him a lot.
– Like leprosy.
– No, you're dead wrong. He was a terror, the mystery of their lives, and the magic. A year from now that'll be an island full of burnout drunks. When we took Kong, we kidnapped their god.

– Hey, Kong! Here I am. You remember me? Remember me, your blind date? Oh come on, you haven't forgotten me, have you?

– Ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing whatever to fear. That is an escape-proof cage certified by the New York City…

– They're gonna kill him, aren't they?
– Well, I don't think they're gonna run him for the mayor of New York.(TV CUT)

– Doesn't anybody leave their keys in their car anymore?
– Can't you hotwire it?
– Sorry.
– Oh, man, you really are uneducated.(TV CUT)

– Where is Kong headed?
– There's one place in Manhattan that looks exactly like a certain part of his native habitat. Let him through to it, and you can trap him there. Let him climb to the top of the World Trade Center.
