Every King Kong Movie (In Chronological Order)

Before Godzilla and Gamera, there was King Kong, and keeping track of his long cinematic legacy can be tricky since the King Kong movies in order span nearly 100 years. The world’s favorite giant, rampaging ape hit the big screen in 1933 after being dreamed up by movie producer Merian C. Cooper. Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World, King Kong is the inspiration for numerous films, video games, and even amusement park rides. Sometimes characterized as a misunderstood antihero and other times as a brutal beast, King Kong represents humanity’s tense relationship with the natural world and its unknown marvels as the humans around King Kong try their best to control him, abuse him, and profit off him.
