KingKong

I have always been a fan of KingKong and I have seen all but 2 of KingKong movies. The 1st KingKong movie was made in 1933 by RKO. The 2nd Kong movie was made in 1938 and it is a very old and almost unknown movie. The title is KingKong appears on Edo. Edo is an island and this 1938 Kong movie was made in Japan. What makes this movie intersting is that it is the 1s giant monster movie to use suitmation a.k.a. Man in suit movie. Suit maker Toshinori Ohashi a.k.a.actor Sanshiro Sagara. Toshinori is considerd the father of Japanese suitmaking. Toshinoris friend Teizo Toshimitsu who designed the Godzilla suit years later in 1954 helped Ohashi make his Kong suit. Sanshiro sagara wore the Kong suit he designed in the 1938 movie this would not happen again until 1976 when Rick Baker would wear the KingKong suit he designed for the 1976 Kong movie. The 3rd Kong movie was also made in Japan produced by Toho studios titled KingKong vs. Godzilla 1962 then Toho made KingKong Escapes 1967. Then the remake of KingKong in 76 and its sequel KingKong Lives in 86. Thats the list of all KingKong movies except for KingKong 2005 being directed by Peter Jackson life long Kong fan himself. I did not mention Son of Kong because it is not KingKong. Years KIng Kong movies were made
