All 3 Movies Called 'King Kong,' Ranked
While legendary cinematic characters like James Bond and Godzilla have been in more movies than King Kong, that iconic giant ape has 007 and the King of the Monsters beat in terms of how long heβs been around for. The first King Kong movie came out more than 90 years ago, and much of it still holds up better than you'd probably expect a film of its age to do. Since then, there have been two other King Kong movies that have shared its title, and both are remakes of the original film, albeit one was set in then-contemporary times, and the other had a period setting in line with the 1933 original. Of course, there are various other King Kong movies with longer titles, but they're not really the focus here.
