Comment
After King Kong is shot and falls off a skyscaper, he does not die but is kept alive for 10 years. At the same time as he needs a blood transfusion, a female Kong is found and brought back to America. The plot of this follow up version of King Kong is poor. The apes are not great, Bria Kerwin as the circus owner is annoying and Linda Hamilton's character is not convincing as the doctor.
