Lost In Translation?: King Kong (1976)

Dino's infamous Remake speaks for itself.

He promised a fully-realized Kong via life-sized robot.

It didn't happen.

Regardless, people didn't know this in other Countries when they were trying to promote the upcoming Film.

See what the lovely folks over in Asia got...

That's...one awkward Poster to look at now.

Yes, he does climb the World Trade Center in the Film.
Yes, it was about 20 years before the first attack on said Building.

That awkwardness aside, it is an odd point to pick for the Poster.  Why not him on top?

It seems odd to get him like halfway up, especially since this isn't a shot from the Film that they used.  They actively chose to pick this moment and make a detailed drawing/painting for it.

Odd.

Here's the original...

Not bad, but it needed a little bit of love.  I got ya, Kong!
