The Story Behind King Of Kong

From arcade days to the big battle...





 
7. Release

It took a while for Kong to find its audience. Growing slowly, it's since become a cult hit and while it's far away from blockbuster figures (it made less than $1 million across the pond), those low costs mean it's cracked profit.

Sadly, the movie was never given a cinema release over here (aside from a couple of festival appearances), though you can find it on DVD - and we highly recommend checking it out.

But as the cult hit has grown in popularity, the controversy has also swelled...

      Funspot!!!!! I used to go there too!!! That place was awesome!!! Ware's Beach, NH. Haven't been there in 25 years, will have to check it out again the next time I'm up there. Wow, that brings back memories of blowing hundreds of $$$ on Donkey Kong Jr. and Centipede.
