Fun Homage to Son of Kong
Son of Tor (1964)
*** (out of 4)
Sequel to TOR, KING OF BEASTS has adventurer Carl Denham (Don Glut) heading back to the jungles hoping to find another large gorilla. It doesn't take long for him to find the son of Tor but things naturally don't go as planned. Whereas the first film was a homage to KING KONG, it's pretty obvious where the homage is this time. SON OF KONG is a film I've always thought didn't get enough credit for its entertainment value but I think Glut has done it service in this 8-minute short. I really enjoyed this sequel much more than the original because this one here is just one great sequence after another. I really thought this was a major step up in terms of the filmmaking as well as the story. I thought the original movie ran a tad bit too long but that's not the case here because Glut keeps it to just 8-minutes and each one of those minutes has action, monsters and mayhem. I thought the fight between "Torro" and the Styracosaurus was extremely entertaining as was the finale with an erupting volcano. The volcano effects were extremely impressive and the way Glut edited everything together even managed to build up some nice suspense. Unlike some of Glut's previous films, this one here features some sound effects as well as dialogue. Fans of KING KONG will certainly want to check this one out.
