Though the island is populated by prehistoric animals, Denham manages to locate Kong's offspring, and rescue him from quicksand. In return, the appreciative, playful (and yes, loveable) ape makes sure to beat up any creatures that threaten Denham and his crew, but -- being a kid -- he enjoys fun and games, which sometimes gets him into trouble. But when an earthquake rocks Skull Island, will Baby Kong and the explorers survive? [More]

    One of the worst sequels ever produced; a blot on the name of King Kong.
