Many versions of King Kong have been produced since the original 1933 film. The films have a few essential features: Kong is a huge male gorilla-like creature living on a remote jungle island (Skull Island), usually with other supersized creatures. Kong is typically worshiped as a god by the indigenous people. An expedition from the modern world finds the island and wants to exploit it in some way, sometimes for resources, sometimes as a filming location. At some point, Kong bonds with a human woman, and sometimes he is removed from the island and taken to New York City. Kong rarely survives to the film's end. The best-known versions of the story came out in 1933,1976, and 2005.
