Last time it showed up around here, someone posted it next to the well-know paste-up pf Kong atop the ESB with the airplanes and pointed out that this is the original element they used for the gorilla.

But I have no idea where it came from or how I got it. Anyone recognize it? Anyone know where I might have gotten it? Full-size is about 8 1/2 X 11, it's not ripped out of a magazine or book, and it's on slightly heavier than magazine paper.

So now I'm just another someone. The first time I saw that pic was in SPFX Magazine. Here is the link to that other conversation. http://monsterkidclassich...ighting-T-rex-Allosaurus Tim

May 28 12 9:21 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Here is how the finished shot of the photo at the top this thread would have appeared had they included the scene in the final cut of KONG. You can see the same painted cliffs to the left of Kong and the waterfall is a live action element photographed on location. It looks to me as if the FG beneath Kong is a live action element as well. (I have a photo of the crew on location photographing the waterfall element. Let me know if anyone cares to see it) Last Edited By: Aupperle May 28 12 9:25 AM. Edited 1 times.

Ah, thank you, Tom. That makes sense, if it was a dropped-in, falling-out addition to Gore Creatures. No memory of that, but it seems right.

Let me know if anyone cares to see it) I remember seeing that one, with Shoedsack, right? A while ago you posted some smaller pics of the log test, including the ones of the Kong/Most Dangerous Game angle with the two composite elements of the live action sailors circled in the middle + the background. I had never seen those ever. Do you have or have you seen any of the reverse angle log shots on the Arsino side? I've never seen one. Last Edited By: JadeExecutioner May 29 12 8:49 AM.

May 29 12 3:10 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I have a photo of the crew on location photographing the waterfall element. Let me know if anyone cares to see it. I would love to see it! It is my understanding that the below photo is from the excised scene of Kong climbing down Skull Mountain after Ann and Jack already jump into the river (note no Ann in his hand). The photo at the top of the thread is one of a number of photos of the sequence removed where he climbs up. In fact, enough photos of that sequence exist to practically animate it - but i'd love to see more!

In fact, enough photos of that sequence exist to practically animate it - but i'd love to see more! Excellent observation about the girl in the hairy paw (and lack thereof). Hadn't thought of that. When I get a chance at home I'll see what other scans I might have from this sequence and I'll look for an Arsinoitherium too. Always loved the look of an Arsinoitherium but I don't know if anyone has ever animated one except perhaps for JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME. In all the excitment I can't recall if Zeman used Arsinoitheriums or Brontotheriums (and to show how my mind is going I just about wrote down Baluchitherium and I'm fairly sure that's never neen animated). I started making an Arsinoitherium when I was going to film AGE OF MAMMALS but that critter never got past the first crude claystage. EDIT Just recalled I still have the image I posted earlier that JadeExecutioner mentioned. Here is the shot filming the waterfall on location plus a few more Kong camera stills tossed in for free. Note how the location waterfall matches the one in the unused Kong on the mountain shot above. The same water fall does show up in at least one shot that was in the film Last Edited By: Aupperle May 29 12 3:45 PM. Edited 3 times.

May 29 12 5:06 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Very Cool! Thanks Jim. I can see Bruce Cabot, sober or not, saying "We're coming down THAT river?" But really, i figured the river was featured in the climbing down shot to add some tension because both Kong and us know that Ann and Jack will be coming over that waterfall anytime, and hopefully before Kong intercepts them. I guess the upside to all this footage being cut is the fact that, if the story is true, the final film came in at 13 reels causing Cooper to devise the elevated train sequence to lengthen the film beyond 13 reels.

May 30 12 1:05 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hi msotis, Thanks for posting that nice collection of photos showing Kong climbing the cliff. Several were new to me. RE: Do you have or have you seen any of the reverse angle log shots on the Arsino side? I've never seen one. -JadeExecutioner Thought I had more shots of the Arsinoitherium but couldn't find them. Perhaps I never scanned them and now my scanner seems to be broken so I'm out of luck in that department. Found these two photos on a CD that contained photos from Doug Turner's collection where we see both the Triceratops and Arsinoitherium in what appears to be the same jungle setup. Not sure if these were for CREATION or KONG. Anyone have info on the two shots? Last Edited By: Aupperle May 30 12 1:08 AM. Edited 1 times.
