In King Kong, a powerful ape crosses the sea to rescue a beautiful woman held by his enemy on an island. He enters the capital city, leaping to great heights and leaving destruction in his wake. Where have I heard this before?

Could it be… Ravana? |
In the 1933 movie, King Kong varied noticeably in height. At different times, he might be as small as twenty feet, or, in the city, as tall as fifty. [Link]He could grow as big or as small as he wished… Hanuman grew tall and mighty and with one giant leap began to fly through the clouds to the walled city on the island. [Link]
And check out this issue of The Incredible Hulk. A buff, loincloth-clad beast with the initial ‘H’ leaps back to the mainland to return to his leader. Well, isn’t that special?

I guess everything does come from India.
Careful what you say, or you’ll get the Hindutva brigade after you!
hee. love the clever v-day banner!
I apologize for invading this thread…didn’t know where else to post. forgive me.
Oh,yes. Love the new banner.
I’ve been reading Braj Kachru’s Asian Englishes…great, bold and fun book to read, even if you have no linguistics background.
Me three.
haha very cute Vday banner. This is the perfect time to launch the SepiaMatrimonial Site so “Singles” can read “Couples” next year!
Wait, by having this turbaned man on your Singles Mutiny banner are you being clever and trying to find a mate for Ennis? =)
But why the picture of Dana Carvey doing “Church Lady”, with this post??
I must point out unlike King Kong, Hanuman had no romantic interest in the leading lady.
Ah Sonia, but would it be that mutinious anymore?
on reading this post I was immediately reminded of an episode of ‘goodness gracious me’, in which sanjeev bhaskar, plays an irritable father. Ragging his son, he says, “all comic book superheroes from india! bat-man, super-man, hanu-man!”
