Missing Sailor?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but a member of the rescue team disappears between shots! In the swamp, excluding Tim (the guy who lags behind and goes up the tree), the crew numbers eight,...

Thanks for the previous link Jade, I was trying to think of the one where we mentioned the inconsistencies of the scene. I have a hard time believing any 30 years later memories.

Same here Tim. Nor do I really fully believe people who are paid to tell stories for a living. Some thoughts on that San Bernardino screening. I never could find the precise day of that preview show,...

My response to that article is to quote Gregory House: "If the magic is gone once the trick is revealed, then there was no magic to begin with." Knowing how something was done has never ruined it for...

I don't know when SON OF KONG was given the go ahead and actually went into production but between the release of KING KONG and SON OF KONG was something like nine months.

Jade is correct; Peeples wrote an article (actually more like a column, entitled "Films on 8 & 16") for Films In Review's January 1974 issue, from which we quoted for our article. Jade already...

Wasn't that underbrush scene built around the one shot cut from 'Creation' where the mother Triceratops impales the sailor that shot her baby? I had thought the unfilmed asphalt morass scene was...

No. The script calls for exactly what you're suggesting, but refers to the sailor as wearing "striped trousers" (like Ned Hallet) so they can reuse the scene. However as filmed, the guy who disappears...

Thanks for confirming that is was the script that i read that in. I'd assumed that final shot was literally cut from 'Creation' and used in a Kong test reel. It's difficult to believe they had created...

Reusing that shot would've been odd, as Hallet had a gun in the scene, which would've resulted in a continuity error...

Right. I'm only suggesting that the scene was contrived to make use of that shot (and possibly others in development for 'Creation; the log and the attacking Arsinotherium) and would explain why one...

FWIW here is a screen cap highlighting the actor in light pants with a black strip substituting for Ralf Harolde. I wonder if his reaction shots, as per the script excerpt above, were actually filmed....

As I'm understanding this, we've actually got two disappearing sailors; the guy in striped pants and the guy in the light-colored dress shirt. The one in striped pants may have been meant to match up...

It's always been my understanding that it was the missing ending of the Creation footage that was taken for the test reel. Turner/Goldner in TMoKK note the scene from Creation where a triceratops...
