It really is a shame those Japanese King King knockoffs from the 30’s are lost, I would like to see them for myself to see if they are so bad its good.

The Mighty Peking Man was too good for this list

Peter Jackson's original '96 Kong script would make a terrific animated direct to DVD movie in the vein of Turok (2008).
Pulpy, adventurous yet bloody.

Danny Partridge vs Greg Brady vs Bigfoot 😂

8:50, omg they found Agartha- DO YOU COME FROM THE LAND DOWN UNDER🔊🔊🗣🗣🔥🔥

12:00 “Also the British version of King Kong” Oh, c’mon, what about Konga?

Honorable mention——
THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN aka GOLIATHON. Filmed and released in 1977 by Shaw Brothers who was far better known for their kung fu flicks.

12:04 Anyone else expecting it to zoom out and for the Thames Television theme to play or is that just me? 😂
Also with this same movie, with Robin Askwith in the lead cast and the dirty jokes in it, I'm shocked it's not called 'Confessions Of A Queen Kong'

The Yeti film was also releases as Yeti - The Big Foot in some markets. I remember seeing the film crew in Toronto where they were shooting scenes in the downtown core. In one of the crowd running scenes people in the city thought there was an emergency and ended up running with the fleeing crowd. They were also going to film the Yeti on the CN Tower.

WHO SUMMONED ME?!

My, those were awful. The Lost World was a staple during the 60s when I was a kid. This was back in the days when the newspaper contained a TV guide with a description of whatever movie was being shown. The description was always the same for The Lost World; "Flabby fantasy."

Fun fact: King Kong has a sort of spiritual spinoff in the form of a movie called The Most Dangerous Game. And I'm not talking about Pokemon Go. It's an adaptation of a short story of the same name (except for in UK where it was called "The Hounds of Zaroff) but using the same set as King Kong.

I mean King Kong is public domain due to novel not being renewed, so anyone can make a movie based off kong now.

Keep up good work btw Scribbles

Yes I'm a pastor of a church and I love this stuff.  Great job.  Pastor Scott centereach bible church. God bless all

I’m shocked that you didn’t mention that none other than Ed Wood wrote One Million AC/DC

I would just call them spoofs and parodies not bootlegs or ripoffs

Great video highlighting some of the King's impersonators that never quite measured up to the real deal.

I thought you would've talked about Mighty Peking Man, but it makes sense that you didn't (outside of presenting some clips at the beginning), because outside a couple shoddy effects, that one's a pretty good movie, all things considered.

The volume on the clips from the Indian version nearly blasted me out of my chair.

Oh boy, these rubber suit theropods (Ceratosaurus) in the first movie entry for this list... was the Godzilla suit inspired by these?! :D

"A*P*E" was going to have a documentary about it made called "A*P*E of Wrath", but it still hasn't been made.
