King Kong (original version ) DVD special features!

[ticklemaster500]

Shortly after this thread, I bought a copy on E-bay for way too much money, and I will have to tell you.......as mainstream scenes go, it's one of the weakest and slightest. The King Kong scene is actually better. Believe me, I ADORE Fay Wray, I couldn't sleep at night knowing that such a scene existed, but it's really more of a M/M scene first of all, and Fay shows virtually no reaction (and hardly gets tickled anyway)

I'll explain the scene, from what I remember (i'd have to dig it up to get it verbatim):

Fay Wray and her male companion are on the beach, lying belly down. Wallace Beery comes along and sees them, and picks up a big feather and dances it on both of their soles, PRIMARILY the guy's. I think he GRAZES Fay Wray's foot (which is not bare), but there's hardly any reaction. The guy starts to giggle and laugh.

The camera is not that close to them either, it's a few feet away from them to take in the whole scene, all 3 cast members, plus other beachgoers.

I can't make clips, but when I can, I will surely make a clip of it for posterity, but I would HIGHLY recommend no one buys this film for this reason alone. I can promise you, you can wait. I COULDN'T, even though I was warned, and I regretted it.

I repeat: this scene is not worth going out of your way to track down, unless you're more into M/M scenes or vintage old movies, in this case a movie that probably won't get released on DVD as it has some racial stuff in the early part of the movie that wouldn't fly today.

well could u get it on ur computer some how so i can see it anyway?

I had forgotten about this thread. I saw the King Kong DVD at the local Wal-Mart a few days ago. It had the original uncut movie along with Son of Kong and Mighty Joe Young(better than the remake) with all the specials and commentary for about 26 bucks. The same I paid about a year ago from www.oldies.com when this package first came out. Check with Best Buys and places like that.

I just posted The Bowery clip in the mainstream clip section and I disagree, it looks to me that Fay Wray does show some reaction and even smiles. She can't show too much though because she doesn't want the guy who's doing the tickling to know that she's under the umbrella with another guy.

Not sure if this helps - If this is the scene I'm not convinced she's being tickled, despite the music

If you listen to the commentary on the special feature's Joker the director said that she was getting tickled. Well, at least her character was for the movie lol.
