The Son of Kong

The Son of Kong is the sequel to the successful film King Kong. The story picks up about a month after the dramatic finale of the previous film and follows the further adventures of filmmaker Carl Denham (again played by Robert Armstrong), now implicated in numerous lawsuits following the destruction wrought by Kong. Denham leaves New York with the captain of the ship that carried Kong. They eventually run into the sailor who sold Denham the map to Skull Island (Hellstrom), who cons them into believing there is a treasure on the island. Along with a beautiful stow-away girl (Hilda) who trained monkeys for a circus act, they return to Skull Island where they meet, befriend, and are ultimately saved by Kong's easygoing albino son Kiko (a name used in production but never spoken in the film) [cite needed]. It was produced and released in 1933 immediately following the success of King Kong, and was a modest success. Son of Kong was recently released on DVD both by itself and as part of the Kong 1933 DVD collection edition.

Carl Denham.

Mrs. Hudson!

:02:14

You get out of my house.
I'll have you arrested.

:02:15

Ma'am, that's my business...

:02:16

Pretending to be the gas man's
your business...

:02:18

- I'm supposed to...
- The very idea.

:02:23

All right, Mr. Denham. It's only me.

:02:27

I am sorry, Mr. Denham. He said he was
the gas man. Had a card and everything.

:02:31

Listen, Mrs. Hudson,
as long as I am rooming in your house...

:02:34

if your own father comes to the door,
don't you believe a word he says.

:02:37

It's a pity the people in New York
don't try and catch a few gunmen...

:02:40

instead of hunting
a nice gentleman like you.

:02:43

Is Mrs. Hudson there?

:02:45

That's the lady in the front room.

:02:48

Coming.

:02:50

I'm from the news.

:02:51

Is that so? Well, I've got news for you:

:02:53

You're going to get out of this room
so fast...

:02:55

- No, I'm not.
- Ladies, no riots, please.

:02:57

If people don't stop getting into my house
under false pretenses...

:03:00

I just want a story.
If I go back without it, I'll lose my job.

:03:03

- Don't bother to pull that old line.
- You're big news, you know.

:03:07

What, after a whole month?

:03:08

That's time enough for New York
to forget the World War.

:03:10

The War was a long way off,
but King Kong, the giant ape...

:03:14

- was right here on the spot.
- So I've heard.

:03:16

And you're the man that brought him here.

:03:18

Kong is dead. But everybody's
interested in you, too, Mr. Denham.

:03:21

All those people that Kong killed
and injured...

:03:23

all the property owners
who are suing you for damages, and...

:03:26

And the theatre owners, and the men who
put money in advanced publicity, and...

:03:30

Say, are you telling me?

:03:31

Why don't you let him alone? He hasn't
dared leave the house for a week.

:03:34

That's what I want,
the personal reaction story.

:03:37

You want to know what the captor
of the late Kong...

:03:39

- thinks about, eh?
- Yes.

:03:41

I thought I had him safe.

:03:44

Don't you suppose I'm sorry
for the harm he did?

:03:49

I wish I'd left him on his island.

:03:51

Old Kong, I'm sure paying
for what I did to you.

:03:57

Mrs. Hudson, suppose we look out
and count the gentlemen in disguise...
