It was both informative and entertaining. Nathan \u201csurvived\u201d in true <em>Mystery Science Theatre 3000<\/em> fashion while John LeMay made a valiant defense of the movie. I did not pipe in as much because, as listeners will remember, John and I had a spat when I refused to show him my garage. I did not get a chance to explain it was because I needed to make sure it was clean and safe for visitors. That was all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, here are my notes\non the episode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I did not want to disappoint you on the air, John, but I am actually a natural brunette. I dye my hair red. In other words, I still have a soul. Or did I lose it when I dyed my hair?<\/li><li>Here\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XwoxFObSlvg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Siskel and Ebert review<\/a> of <em>King Kong Lives<\/em>.<\/li><li>About those so-called \u201cmagic artificial hearts\u201d: The Island\u2019s Board of Directors acquired Dr. Amy Franklin\u2019s design and attempted to improve upon it. I can neither confirm nor deny that experiments may have been conducted on kaiju that aren\u2019t as big a draw for Tourists\u2026. <\/li><li>Here are two articles with great info on artificial hearts: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/syncardia.com\/patients\/media\/blog\/2018\/08\/seven-things-about-artificial-hearts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">7 Things You Should Know about Artificial Hearts<\/a>\u201d and the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Artificial_heart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a> entry on them. <\/li><li>Baby Kong was played by seven-year-old Benjamin Kechley. And yes, I think he should have bragging rights for life.<\/li><li>Surprisingly, Nathan was wrong about the Superman film John was talking about. (He is as obsessed with superheroes as he is kaiju. God help me when he takes a deep dive into Ultraman\u2026). It was <em>Superman II<\/em> from 1980 that had the Eiffel Tower scene, which did involve terrorists with hostages and a bomb. You can watch it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SzJ7iPeOQVk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vAfD-vF8yss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li><li>I have a plenty of material to do a <em>War in Space<\/em> panel at G-Fest, John. I mean, I lived it. And miraculously survived it. But like Nathan said, someone has to take care of the studio while he is gone, and we are more or less a two-man operation. Maybe I will get some time off when the film\u2019s 45<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary rolls around&#8230;.<\/li><li>Here\u2019s a link to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLwMvH0gVbL8_uGq0QD_axkmWRzElB8HY3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Godziban playlist<\/a> on the official Toho Godzilla YouTube channel. It is the show Nathan and John mention briefly where Godzilla Junior and Minya get along. I cannot vouch for its accuracy. <\/li><li>John is both right and wrong about the dinosaur fights in the <a href=\"https:\/\/wikizilla.org\/wiki\/King_Kong_(1932_novelization)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lovelace novelization<\/a>. Kong does fight a triceratops\u2014several, in fact\u2014but he later he also fights a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/wikizilla.org\/wiki\/Meat-Eater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meat-eater<\/a>\u201d dinosaur, which may or may not have been a T-Rex. There is some debate over it.<\/li><li>It\u2019s \u201cMonsterverse\u201d not \u201cGodzilla universe,\u201d John. \ud83d\ude1b<\/li><li>Here\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MJF3mknSTlo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the Subway commercial <\/a>that was mentioned by John.<\/li><li>The confusing things about <em>Kong: King of Skull Island <\/em>is there appears to be two of them. Maybe? Here is this on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kong-Skull-Island-Joe-DeVito\/dp\/159582006X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> (and <a href=\"https:\/\/wikizilla.org\/wiki\/Kong:_King_of_Skull_Island\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikizilla<\/a>), but there\u2019s also a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/425272610\/king-kong-of-skull-island\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kickstarter for an illustrated version<\/a> in 2018. I am guessing the latter is what sparked the lawsuit they mention.<\/li><li>The person John could not remember who pitched <em>Skull Island: Blood of the Kong<\/em> with Neil Marshall was Simon Uttley.<\/li><li>The Kong Netflix series is <em>Kong: King of the Apes<\/em>. It is a children\u2019s series and currently has two seasons. Here is a link to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80023612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official page<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\nare the many notes Nathan did not get to during the episode. Admittedly, some\nof them are riffs that require context not given in the note. Basically, watch\nthe film chronologically (if you dare!) and you may be able to find what he is\ntalking about. So, buckle up because there is a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>They edited in different roars for the flashback. Not as good. <\/li><li>I wonder how much Bridges and Lange were paid for that stock footage?<\/li><li>Music courtesy of John Williams\u2019 leftovers.<\/li><li>How is Kong not a furry mound of jelly?<\/li><li>Admittedly, this continuous opening shot for the credits isn\u2019t bad.<\/li><li>We see Lady Kong in less than 8 minutes. (Kong meets a female of his species and suddenly forgets about blondes?) (Mrs. Kong theory from <a href=\"https:\/\/monsterislandfilmvault.com\/index.php\/2019\/11\/13\/episode-4-timothy-deal-vs-son-of-kong\/\">episode 4<\/a>).<\/li><li>\u201cCan you hear me now?\u201d Verizon, anyone?<\/li><li>\u201cI\u2019m in love with a gorilla!\u201d<\/li><li>Disneyland? Why not Universal Studios?<\/li><li>\u201cThe only living ape.\u201d Because all the normal-sized ones have died out in ten years?<\/li><li>\u201cI left a trail of bananas.\u201d Don\u2019t make fun of yourself, movie. That\u2019s my job!<\/li><li>As usual, Kong breaks his chains of captivity.<\/li><li>Did those apes just have a love at first sight moment?<\/li><li>Yeah, the dozers will stop him.<\/li><li>\u201cThey\u2019ll need a doctor after they get a whiff of this gas.\u201d I never should\u2019ve eaten that breakfast burrito!<\/li><li>The action hero trope: the big bad male hero can take a beating and not flinch, but he winces when a woman tends his wounds. Nice job, Kong.<\/li><li>Are those natives on Kong\u2019s Island burnt out drunks like Jack said? Would they let outsiders build a reserve then?<\/li><li>Welcome to Movie Land, where people fall in love and make out at the drop of a hat. Justification: This is what primates do. <\/li><li>Oh no! The flamethrowers return! How is Kong not PTSD-ing right now?<\/li><li>There\u2019s a torrential downpour, but the sun is out.<\/li><li>There are a lot of pop culture references in this. <em>Indiana Jones<\/em>. <em>Deliverance<\/em>. Juicy Fruit.<\/li><li>You\u2019re telling me none of the doctors the military brought in figured out Lady Kong was pregnant?<\/li><li>There are points this feels more like a post-1976 King Kong knockoff than an actual Kong film.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t you guys know that Kong hates flashbulbs?<\/li><li>\u201cWell, Kong, you\u2019ve killed now. Nothing will stop them from killing you now.\u201d Did you miss the first movie?<\/li><li>Kong is a tactician. He throws pocket sand at the military before attacking. \ud83d\ude1b (\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QLpUq__iQqw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pocket sand<\/a>!\u201d -Dale from King of the Hill).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are Nathan\u2019s\nleftover notes from <em>King Kong: History of\na Movie Icon from Fay Wray to Peter Jackson<\/em> by Ray Morton:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>De Laurentiis\nwanted to do a sequel from get-go. At one point even discussed a\nFrankenstein-like idea with Semple.<\/li><li>Sequel never\nmanifested because De Laurentiis was either disappointed it didn\u2019t out-gross <em>Jaws<\/em> or because he didn\u2019t want to have\nto deal with Universal.<\/li><li>In the ensuing\nyears, he bought Embassy Pictures and made it into his own studio, De\nLaurentiis Entertainment Group (DEG).<\/li><li>John Guillermin\nreturned as director. Both he and De Laurentiis had lost sons in the\nintervening years, so their relationship had mellowed.<\/li><li>Carlo Rambaldi was\nbrought back on for the special effects. He\u2019d won several Oscars for his work\nsince 1976.<\/li><li>Despite not liking\nthe script, Brian Kerwin took the role because he was offered lots and money\nand he was the lead. He said later that monkey was the lead and he was set\ndressing. He also wanted to be picked up by Kong.<\/li><li>New suit actors were\nbrought in, both male. Kong\u2019s hair was Icelandic yak fur.<\/li><li>They tried to make\nKong \u201986 look like Kong \u201976, but it didn\u2019t quite work. The former is brown and\nthe latter black. Face was different with more expressive mask.<\/li><li>Kong\u2019s biological\nheart is a replica of a real gorilla heart. The artificial heart is a fantasy\ncreation. Kerwin considered making it into a coffee table.<\/li><li>Ran into budget\nproblems because DEG was hit hard by new tax laws. Some sequences were trimmed\nor eliminated. It wasn\u2019t filmed in Brazil and Jamaica and instead was filmed in\nTennessee and Wilmington.<\/li><li>All the fake blood\nin the Kong transplant scene made an extra pass out.<\/li><li>Kerwin read all 22\nTravis McGee novels in his downtime. One actor directed community theatre!<\/li><li>Kerwin said de\nLaurentiis was \u201cbraggadocious and stingy.\u201d<\/li><li>Guillermin was\nmellower but often still intense.<\/li><li>Hamilton was in a\nbad mood all the time according to Kerwin.<\/li><li>Baker refused to come\nback due to unreasonable conditions and the Oscars dustup, so it went to Peter\nElliott, an acrobat and veteran costume performer. He did ape choreography in <em>Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan<\/em>. His\nfriend George Yiasomi played Lady Kong, but a \u201cGreek guy\u201d was brought in to do\nthe close-ups of her eyes.<\/li><li>The actors played\nthe apes like animals around each other and more human-like around humans.\nElliot based his performance on James Dean! (Indiana connection!)<\/li><li>The courtship\nscene was over-the-top but Elliott based their actions on real apes but\nperformed it in a tongue-in-cheek manner.<\/li><li>No Oscars noms,\nbut Rambaldi was nominated for a Razzie for worst visual effects.<\/li><li>De Laurentiis\nthought the film was a mistake.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the livetweets\nfrom <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NathanMarchand7?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nathan\u2019s\nauthor Twitter<\/a> that he did not mention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cYou\u2019ve got\nIndiana Jones.\u201d Now there\u2019s a crossover I\u2019d love to see!

Negotiations started around the same time as De\nLaurentis. Agreed to pay same amount up front but balked at sharing the gross.\nLots of studio politics involved. Word has it that the Universal offer was\npreferred. Attorney Arnold Shane thought Universal won the rights, and\nStromberg hired Oscar-winning screenwriter Bo Goldman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s\nNest, Melviun and Howard) to write a script. Meanwhile, De Laurentis\u2019 offer was\naccepted. Universal protested saying that despite not signing a written\ncontract, they took Daniel O\u2019Shea\u2019s supposed comment as a binding verbal\nagreement. Universal sued for $25 million in damages in June 1975 accusing\nRKO-General of \u201cbreach of contract\u201d and \u201cfraud\u201d and De Laurentis of\ninternational interference with advantageous business relations\u201d and \u201cunfair\ncompetition.\u201d De Laurentis was surprised by Universal\u2019s claim but thought it\nwas invalid because he had a signed contract, so he pressed on confidently.<\/li><li>Sept. 1975:\nSuperior Court of LA dismissed Universal\u2019s claim, saying the verbal agreement\nwas \u201ctissue-paper thin.\u201d Universal then filed a second claim having learned the\nnovelization of Kong, which had some different material, had fallen into the\npublic domain in 1960 thanks to the Copyright Law of 1909 that set the\ncopyright to 28 years. The studio claimed they weren\u2019t infringing on RKO\u2019s\nfilms\u2014the \u201cnew\u201d material\u2014while the \u201cold material\u201d was in public domain. They\nannounced their new film would be based on the novel, and told Bo Goldman to\nrevise his script to conform to the novel. Joseph Sargent (Colossus: The Forbin\nProject, The Taking Pelham 123) was hired to direct. De Laurentis said he would\nstart casting in December for his film. Unsure if the name King Kong was owned\nby RKO, they changed their film\u2019s title to The Legend of King Kong to be\nsafe.&nbsp; De Laurentis responded by changing\nhis to King Kong: The Legend Reborn.<\/li><li>RKO filed a\ncountersuit November 20 against Universal in Federal District Court for $5\nmillion for copyright infringement and asked for an injunction for the studio\nto stop promoting the film. De Laurentis filed his own suit December 4 for $90\nmillion in damages caused by \u201ccopyright infringement and unfair competition.\u201d\nHe also filed an injunction against Universal. Universal forced the issue by\nsaying they\u2019d start filming Jan. 5, which was a bluff.&nbsp; The market would only support one remake, and\nwhoever started shooting first would likely win. De Laurentis moved production\nup, hastily starting Jan. 15 and having the crew work 16-hour days. This\nrequired money he didn\u2019t have, but he was determined. <\/li><li>Universal\nallegedly approached De Laurentis about settling after he announced when they\u2019d\nbegin filming. They discussed a joint production, but De Laurentis didn\u2019t like\nUniversal\u2019s demands. They wanted their script to be used and merchandising and\nsequel rights.&nbsp;&nbsp; Barry Diller and\nParamount threatened to pull out if he didn\u2019t settle, so he started talking\nwith Universal.<\/li><li>De Laurentis and\nUbniversial announced Jan. 28, 1976, that they\u2019d reached agreement. Universal\ngot 8% or 11% percent of De Laurentis\u2019 profits, certain merchandising rights\nand profits, and veto power on sequels by agreeing to cancel their film.&nbsp; They could also start their own film so long\nas it was 18 months after the release of De Laurentis\u2019 film. If it was hit,\nthere would be no need, and if it was a flop, there would no interest in one.\nSilly move. Universal didn\u2019t get to make their own until 2005 with Peter\nJackson. The lawsuit was settled in September.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh man. This might be my longest Jimmy\u2019s Notes yet.
