It don' look like no Gemorra suit I nevver seed... it don't look like no Tarzan-wrasslin' suit I never seed... it sho' don' look like no Corriganville ape nor either one o'dem Ol' George Barrows dumpy old things...
Even from the distance, you can tell it is not matted with wild fly-away hair all over, like a Corrigan-style suit; it's not squat, potbellied and gorilla-short like all (ALL!) the Gemorra apes.
So the "mystery suit" is the best Kong-matching ape-suit ever created. Yes, as Craig pointed out, that was the point of my diatribe above. If there WAS such a suit, why didn't it show up in other movies afterward? And if it was, as Don posits, a rental suit that pre-existed the movie, where are the stills of this miraculous work of cinema art in other venues? Where are the other films in which it appeared? How come every-- EVERY-- lousy gorilla suit since the dawn of motion pictures looks incredible phony, ridiculous, un-gorilla-like and definitely un-Kong-ian... and yet here's one that not only matches the general build of a puppet (which itself bears little physical resemblance to a real gorilla), but has flexible mechanical fingers and feet?
Does not pass the scratch'n'sniff test.
No offense, Tim, but nothing about the shot looks like rotoscoping to me. Certainly it does not have the Disney-esque flutter the Skull Island birds have.
