much like "Tadzilla" "Kiko" was coined by Forry "Famous Monsters" J Ackerman(probably right after he saw the movie). so it's a fan moniker. i don't think the poor little spud ever got an official name.

how interesting

seeing someone call KING KONG ESCAPES unwatchable and knowing he rates GODZILLA ON MONSTER ISLAND over most of the other movies in the series is a very interesting thing to see.
but you go, man!

JD Lees's opinions are worthless anymore.
The only thing he's good for is taking part in organizing G-Fest and, to a lesser extent in the past few years, the gradual decline of G-Fan magazine.

JD Lees is in his 40's and referred to Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II as the very best Godzilla movie of them all.

as long as he means the '74 version...
however, this is a SON OF KONG thread, not a JD Lees thread. JD's opinions are just as valid as anyone's 'round here. we all have them and we know what they are like.

I just got down watching this earlier in the week and it wasn't that bad, it had been years since I had seen the movie.
The creatures where cool but they look as good as the creatures in the prequel, this is proabably because of production times as this film proabably got rushed right into production after Kong was a hit.

SON OF KONG is an okay little diversion, marred primarily by a slow build-up and a couple of clunky, intentionally humorous moments. In all, though, I'd say it's far from "unwatchable". To each their own, I guess.
KING KONG LIVES is one of those rare examples of a movie that succeeds in being simultaneously good and horrible. The set up is fine (if a bit far-fetched), and there are satisfying moments, but every time it starts to take a turn for the better, something derails it. In spite of its many, many flaws, the thing that hurt it most for me was Kong's eyes. In the 76 film, Kong was leering and lustful, looking at Jessica Lange in much the same way the men in the audience were! In KKL, his eyes are very generic animal eyes, with no whites. The 76 Kong was bad, but at least the ape suit had personality. The KKL suit was weak and uninteresting.
