Title: Which Kong is King?
Post by: Glorb on December 15, 2005, 01:00:12 PM: Now, you many wonder what "Funky Kong" is. Well, Funky Kong was born of a fever dream that I had when I was ten. He's essentially Donkey Kong, but funky. So there.

Personally, I think the King Kong remake is king. It's more emotional than the original, but the original King Kong follows in a close second. Donkey Kong is third because I just don't "get" the DK rap. It's annoying. Funky Kong is fourth 'cause he's creepy.

2) Funky Kong actually exists in Donkey Country 1,2,3 and Donkey Kong 64.

Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on December 15, 2005, 10:04:31 PM: What about the other remake in the '70's? Or that (personally) awful Godzilla v.s. King Kong? Why did those not make the cut for the poll?

Post by: Glorb on December 17, 2005, 09:08:22 AM: Well, there are two Funky Kongs. The one in the DK games, and the horrifying aberration of nature that I keep dreaming about. Actually, they're the same thing. 'Cept mine's creepier.

Title: Re: Which Kong is King?
Post by: Watoad on December 19, 2005, 04:05:20 AM: Peter Jackson and his company of skilled moviemaking people are the main reason for King Kong's quality, but there's also the difference in budget to keep in mind:

Godzilla: $125 million
King Kong: $207 million

The second number is about two-thirds larger than the first, which I imagine would account for some difference in the respective qualities of the productions.

Poster's note: I have not seen Godzilla.

Post by: Watoad on December 19, 2005, 04:13:47 AM: To prevent confusion, I'd like to reiterate that the two figures above are the amounts of money spent on the films, not earned by them.

Post by: Glorb on December 19, 2005, 02:20:44 PM: I don't get it! Donkey Kong is the winner by a large margin, despite his drug abuse scandal back in 2002.

And this relates how?

Post by: Mario Maniac on December 19, 2005, 07:07:50 PM: I heard King Kong was an amazing movie. The special effects look amazing (just look at Kong, he is completely computer generated, and he looks like a real creature).

Peter Jackson is the new Steven Speilberg. King Kong is the new Jurrassic Park.

Peter Jackson did an amazing job on The Lord of the Rings trilogy, so would you expect anything less with King Kong?
