I'm segregating this very special extra to the King Kong set, as, thanks to Peter Jackson and his crew of cinemapheliac Kongaholics, this 35 1/2 minute documentary may well be the most important "extra" to appear on home video since the concept took hold on laserdisc.
An incredible amount of time, effort and passion has gone into the creation -- not "re-creation" of what a number of learned researchers feel may well have been the missing sequence.
Using original technology, mixed with a bit of modern help, we can now have quite a good idea of what the public has been missing.
This is one of those extremely rare cases, in which a "bonus" feature is alone worth the price of admission.
Like the King Kong set with which it comes, the re-creation of the missing "Spider Pit" sequence is a dream come true for lovers of the cinema in general and King Kong in particular.
Beautifully thought out; magnificently detailed and rendered to the last detail.
You're in for a treat!
