King Kong in the city of Napier

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 6 February 2006 in Lifestyle & Culture.

This tribute to King Kong was built long before Peter Jackson announced his intention to create a remake, but I still find the resemblance uncanny. A small city on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, Napier is known for its art deco architecture. This scene depicts Kong patiently waiting with his friends, the flying gulls, before launching his famous attack against the Church in retaliation for their widespread distribution of ignorance.
