Final and complete details on the Kong sets can be found here (if not at the top, keep scrolling down; there’s a big piece of artwork featuring the version box sets, so you can’t mix it).
I was excited to learn the other day that a third set of the DVD collection would feature not only the two discs for King Kong, but separate discs for Son of Kong and Mighty Joe Young. Today, Digitalbits.com announced that the suggested price for the set will be about $40, which means you should be able to grab all three movies (and four discs) for under $30! Awesome!
Moreover, Mighty Joe Young has a bunch of extras: “Mighty Joe Young will include the 94-minute restored B&W film on video in its original full frame, with Dolby Digital 2.0 mono audio and English, French and Spanish subtitles. Extras will include audio commentary (by Ray Harryhausen, Ken Ralston and Terry Moore), 2 new featurettes (Ray Harryhausen and The Chioda Brothers and Ray Harryhausen and Mighty Joe Young) and the film’s theatrical trailer.”
Also out about that time is the proto-disaster epic The Last Days of Pompeii, also by Kong directors Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack.
