Synopsis
King Kong Lives (1986) is director John Guillermin's sequel to the 1976 Kong revival — watch it online on iFILM. The giant ape survived the fall from the Twin Towers but has been in a coma ever since. Surgeon Amy Franklin, played by Linda Hamilton, has built an artificial heart. The only missing piece is a blood transfusion — and then a giant female ape turns up alive in the Indonesian jungle.
The operation works, but the moment Kong comes around he senses the female nearby and breaks out. The army mobilises, the two creatures head toward each other, and Brian Kerwin's adventurer — the man who found the female — gets caught in the middle alongside Hamilton. Simpler than the 1976 film, and aware of it, but Guillermin delivers the monster spectacle the premise promises. Stream King Kong Lives (1986) on iFILM.
