The Empire Strikes Backby *ChrissieCool

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Surreal

King Kong is a landmark black-and-white 1933 Hollywood horror-adventure film about a gigantic prehistoric gorilla named "Kong".

Known deleted, censored, or never-filmed scenes (some restored or reconstructed today).

* Kong battles three Triceratops. Partially filmed but scrapped.

* A Styracosaurus chases the sailors onto the log. Filmed but cut afterward.

* When Kong drops the log down the chasm, four surviving sailors are eaten alive by a giant spider, an octopus-like insect, a giant scorpion/crab, and a giant crocodile/lizard. When Merian C. Cooper showed the film to a preview audience with the scene intact, viewers were either frightened, scared out of the theater, or wouldn't stop talking about the scene. Ultimately, Cooper cut the scene. When asked later, he claimed that he cut the scene due to pacing.

* Kong pulls off Ann's clothes and smells them. Censored for the 1930s rerelease, now in every official print since 1972. Curiously, one brief moment during Ann's rescue was not cut out. The scene had her and Jack swimming to the surface of the water, and for one frame, Ann's naked breast could be seen, nipple and all.
