King Kong Lives (1986) - Parents Guide Movie Rating

MPA: PG-13 BBFC: 12 Maturity Rating 13+

BBFC Reason: Contains moderate bloody violence and brief nudity

Sex & Nudity

mild

One scene shows the bare breasts of Linda Hamilton's character for a fraction of a second. Children very unlikely to notice.

Violence & Gore

severe

Kong eats a man, then picks his hat out of his mouth. The heart transplant scene has a lot of blood and "gore" sounds and might disturb young children. Kong snaps a man in two. Lots of violence in this movie, with a fair amount of blood and gore. Final showdown is quite intense.. Soldiers shooting at Kong. Blood splatters. Vehicles are destroyed.

Profanity

moderate

Lots of profanity. S**t is used more than a few times, with lots of other language.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

mild

The stereotypical country folks are seen drinking alcohol at a barn dance.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

moderate

Kong and his threating demeanor towards anybody and everything could be found scary by children. Especially the scene where the hunters trap Kong, it can be very suspenseful and scary.
