To coincide with Peter Jackson’s remake, Warner Bros. has just released a 2-disc special edition of the original King Kong. I picked it up the other day & was pleasantly surprised to see that it was packed with extras

Among the extras was a ½ hour documentary on the lost ‘Spider Pit’ sequence. For this of you who don’t know, this scene is the holy grail for Kong 33 enthusiasts. It takes place after Kong shakes the sailors off the log. Apparently, some of them survive the fall into the cavern, only to be devoured by giant insect-monsters. This scene is in the original script, and there is evidence that it was filmed and once part of the movie. However, the scene was cut, and through the years the footage has been lost, and has yet to be recovered.

While working on the remake, Jackson & his WETA crew decided to take the knowledge that they had of this scene & faithfully re-create it. The scene is about 5 minutes long, and was completely re-made & dulled down to match the look & feel of the original King Kong. The scene is included in its entirety as a bonus feature, but not inserted into the movie…until now…

Devilman-1369 is proud to offer to the trading/preservation community
