Son of Kong (1933)


  • What's it about?: Following King Kong, Carl Denham seeks to escape prosecution in Indonesia where he gains a lead on treasure that leads him back to Skull Island where he meets the titular offspring. 
  • Thoughts: Pretty underwhelming follow up to such an iconic film. You don't even get to see the Son till the last half hour so there's not enough monke. 
  • Rating: 5/10
  • Recommendation: Don't Care
  • Tier: D
Notable actors: Robert Armstrong
Director: Ernest B. Schoedsack
Producer: Ernest B. Schoedsack

Sequel to: King Kong (1933)
