King Kong Lives

1986 · 1h 45m · Fantasy, Action, Adventure

IMDb 4.0 Metacritic 32 RT 8%

King Kong Lives is a legendarily bad sequel that makes no narrative sense and delivers none of the spectacle you'd want from a giant ape movie. Those scores aren't typos—skip this one unless you're specifically hunting for unintentional comedy.

Plot

After falling from the Twin Towers, Kong lies in a coma for ten years. When his heart begins to fail, scientists engineer an artificial heart, and a giant female ape is captured to serve as a source for a blood transfusion. When Kong awakens following his heart transplant, he senses the nearby presence of the female ape and the two escape to wreak havoc together.
