The Son of Kong (1933)
This is the definition of a cash-grab sequel: they churned it out less
than 10 months after King Kong. Obviously it's not as good as its famous
predecessor, but I thought it was a surprisingly fun movie - not nearly
as bad as I'd been led to believe. I think I actually liked the
character of Carl Denham more this time around. Much more light-hearted
than the original (I'd almost call it part comedy), though they threw in
a "tragic" ending out of nowhere which I felt was done just because of
the original movie's famous ending. Weirdly, the eponymous son of Kong
doesn't show up until there is only 26 minutes of the movie's run time
left.
