King Kong (1933) 2 Disc vs Collection
 

I got this today at Best Buy for $15.99 and noticed that they had the collection which has what I have plus Son Of Kong and Mighty Joe Young. Do you think the other movies are worth it? I haven't opened it yet and might take it back tomorrow and get the collection.

I think Son of Kong is a terrible movie. I haven't watched Mighty Joe Young yet. I know I saw it when I was a kid about 30 years ago and have vague feelings that I liked it. Hope that helps some.

I've heard that Son Of Kong was kinda bad as well. I guess I'll rent it from Netflix to see if it's worth the extra $28 (approx) for the other 2 movies and reproductions (which I don't care about). Thanks for the help

Son of Kong is atrocious, and I think it's only 65 minutes to boot. Mighty Joe Young is actually quite good, but is it worth the extra money to buy all three in a box? I don't think so, since the actual box is all you get extra. You might want to buy the Mighty Joe Young disc separately. All three movies are available that way.

By the way, to anyone else thinking about buying the 1933 King Kong 2 disc, Circuit City has it for $13.99 this week.

I'd also look at Target this week for King Kong - $9.44.

Glad I didn't buy it. I had it in my hands and was in the cd section when I turned around and just got the 2 disc version. Thanks to all

Wow, is that for the 2 disc? Might pick it up as a gift for someone.

Target is selling the one disc version that Warner is releasing this week, I think.

Looks like the 1 disc that comes out tomorrow and not the 2 disc one that is out now.

I thought Mighty Joe Young was great- very funny movie! Son of Kong was a moneygrab but worth a single viewing.

If that's right, then keep the two-disc SE for $15.99. :up: Not shabby.

Thread already discussing all multiple releases of the 1933 King Kong on DVD:

Was this the trilogy box set? An onpack Kong (1933) Collector's Tins Set.. I guess its all worth it..

i love my best buy kong set. king kong is awesome. son of kong is bleh. mighty joe young is very underrated, funny sweet movie. i really enjoyed the fascinating extras on mjy. it is definitely worth revisiting and imo never looked this good before.

hey guys, haven't seen this posted anywhere, but i was at Borders tonight, and they just put these SAME EXACT SETS out in the New Releases section, with a "sale price" of $39.99. this is the same exact box set that was the Best Buy exclusive a few months back, which is supposed to be OOP. the back even has the same "Best Buy Bonus" listing on the back of the box. so much for the "exclusive" moniker on that monkey.

but does it have the Extra post cards?

yeah i think so, that red "Best Buy Bonus" box on the back stated the same contents.

I agree with you on this .. I saw it too when I visited a SUNCOAST store this evening. I wil try to check tomm. if it has all the same content as the Bestbuy package?

I didn't know that box was OOP. My bestbuy has TONS of them. that and that usher dvd.

Its confirmed, the Bestbuy exclusive set was the one sold by Borders and Suncoast.

I was suprised to see the 10postcards and the bestbuy name in the package

Yeah. Saw the same set at Borders too.
