King Kong is probably the De Laurentiis project that sticks most in everyone's craw.

Now just a goddam minute.
I will agree Laurentis' King Kong was awful.
I maintain that Flash Gordon was better.
And any movie that has the heroine say, as did Barbarella:
"I hear screaming. Dramatic moments often begin with screaming."
can't be all bad.

MY reason for being prejudiced against Dino De is the movie "Orca- the killer whale". It was about an Orca attacking some people in a house on a pier. This came out shortly after the big p.r. campaign that Orcas are harmless (unless you are a harbor seal) and should be protected rather than hunted. Well not only did the scientific facts not stop Mr. D-L from making his movie but he had the gall to go onto talk shows and talk about how dangerous these oversized dolphins are supposed to be.
