The Deuce: King Kong (1976)
Thursday, September 11; 9:30pm | Buy Tickets
A lot of things have been called the Eighth Wonder of the World: Natural Bridge in Virginia; the Terra cotta Army in China; Andre the Giant. Wondrous brutes they are, none can hold a candle to the true Eighth Wonder, Kong a fearsome gigantic ape with a soft spot for the ladies.
The eighty-year-old ape is the crowned King of both Skull Island and Manhattan; and over the course of his bizarre film history he’s done battle with dinosaurs, airplanes, military choppers, Godzilla and a robot version of himself named Mechani-Kong.
Below, we’ve put together a large collection of posters chronicling Kong’s history, from his King-making 1933 appearance through his bizarre trek to Japan and then back through the gutter of trashy ’70s Manhattan
