The only thing that would make the fullscreen extended version worth all the effort is if somehow you recreated the NBC Movie of the Week opening fanfare and logo, as well as the pre-credits preview scenes complete w/ narration for BOTH parts, as the film itself was originally split up into two different movies by the network, like a two-part mini-series, that aired on two separate evenings (the first part on saturday and the second part on sunday).

I remember all this because I was very upset that the first part that aired on a saturday ended just after Kong made his first appearance and started smashing through the jungle, before he even battled the giant snake if my memory serves me correctly. Then on sunday night my mom wouldn't let me watch Part 2 because she considered it a "school night" (she wanted to make sure I was well-rested enough for school monday morning). I was so pissed off that the memory is burned into my brain to this vvery day. This must have been sometime in 1984 because I distinctly recall seeing teasers for 'V: The Final Battle' during the broadcast of Kong, and that looked totally awesome to my young eight year-old sensiblities!!!
