I just saw The Son of Kong again after some 40 or so years. What amazed me during Kong, Jr.'s fight scenes with the giant bear, that he used Jujitsu to win the fight! I mean he was using leglocks, armbars, choke holds, and rained punches down just like a veteran Ultimate Fighter! It really had me cracking up. And think, this was in 1933! So, I guess all UFC fighters owe their fight careers to "The Son of Kong".
Aside from that, this was a "cute" little film with lots of laughes, yet a bitter-sweet ending. You just had a feel sorry for "Little Kong". The poor guy was just looking for some love. The drowning scene at the end was a fitting end to a myth which forever lives in Hollywood film history. Time for a remake!
