KING KONG - RESTAURIERTE FASSUNG

A film crew arrives at Skull Island. The natives take a liking to the leading lady, Ann Darrow, and kidnap her as an offering to their god, Kong. Kong - a 40-foot high ape - snatches his prize from the altar and heads off into the jungle. A search party manage to sneak Ann away from Kong. They use sleeping gas to capture him. Weeks later, a live show opens in New York, with a chained Kong as the main attraction. But Kong breaks free, grabs Ann, wreaks havoc in the city, then climbs to the top of the Empire State Building.
