Keep an eye out for this on the Sony Channel. It's been on a few time in the last week in HD.

It is ridiculous though how many films seem to make it to blu ray in other countries but not ours or takes an extremely long time for them to get released here.

What special features are on it?

I have KKL on DVD and I can't bring myself to get rid of it. Along with A*P*E. They are so bad they are good....

Klanicu · 07-09-2020, 05:26 PM

Studio Canal UK owns the rights to the film.

Add me to the list of people amazed the 1976 movie and this haven't made it to US market Blu-ray.

Noremac Mij · 07-10-2020, 03:03 AM

Pretty much a masterpiece of a movie. And one of the best sequels of all time.

Mikezilla3k · 07-10-2020, 03:05 AM

Haven't seen it, but it can't be as bad as the 76 film.

Rzzzz · 07-10-2020, 03:15 AM

Just watch it. You will be amazed....

Sorry for the much delayed response but it has a making of featurette and all of the deleted scenes from the extended television broadcast version.

Aclea · 07-10-2020, 04:31 AM

Not all of the deleted scenes - it drops two of them that were included on the French special edition DVD (the book included with that extensively uses stills from King Kong Lives instead of King Kong, but then the somewhat ill-informed documentary uses a still of Harryhausen animating 7th Voyage of Sinbad to represent Willis O. Brien working on the original Kong).

Hope Studio Canal can release this.

It even had a tie-in video game!

stephenharrod · 03-07-2022, 04:20 AM

This book I am currently reading has some detailed accounts about the process of it and the 76 Kong as well.

and I saw it 5 times when it came out in theaters because I was Kong deprived. I recently rewatched it to see if I could enjoy it now that time has past but MY GOD!!! I will never watch that film again. I think it was the score that tricked me because it is a good soundtrack but Never again!!!lol

I just noticed this is now available to buy on Vudu in either SD or HDX. I wonder if that means a Blu is imminent?!?!

Manfonse · 10-13-2022, 10:21 AM

It’s happening.
