Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Test footage of David Allen's Taurus puppet. The beast looks like a combination between an ape and a bulldog. The test footage was shot on 16mm film (shot on a Bolex Camera and had a Motion-Analysis Film Projector) and was copying the climax to the original King Kong.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
