In film, ETer Matthew K. Smith reports that the album cover to 'Discipline' can be spotted several times in the record store featured in the movie 'High Fidelity', and also that King Crimson is mentioned in a conversation in the film 'The Return of the Secaucus Seven'.

The soft-core porn films 'Emmanuel' and 'Emmanuel II' are probably the most notorious uses of KC music in film. 'Lark's Tongues in Aspic, Pt. II' (not performed by KC) was used as theme music in both films. Robert was not consulted. A lawsuit ensued and was settled out of court in Robert's favor. A January, 2000 entry in RF's DGM diary:

"And, on the subject of (financially successful) erotica, Channel 5 (English tv) entered the "new millennium" with 'Emmanuelle'.(snip) The Channel 5 telecast will earn me a pitiful, trifling sum."
This would indicate that the LTiAII music remains intact in the movie, and Robert Fripp receives royalties for their performance.
And speaking of 'LTIA', ETer Hisahiko Kawashima reports that the Chinese film 'Bruce Lee of Big Boss' also uses music from 'Lark's Tongues In Aspic Part II'. It is not known if this usage has been authorized by RF.

In the mid-seventies, a very low budget documentary about strange and unusual events in the Bermuda Triangle featured bits of Mellotron from 'The Devil's Triangle' (from 'In the Wake of Poseidon'). The film was also titled 'The Devil's Triangle'. It is not known if RF/KC granted permission or received royalties.

The recent independent film, 'Buffalo 66', features KC's 'Moonchild', from the first album. Robert approved of the use of the music in this film, as he recently stated in his diary at the DGM website.

Instrumental parts of 'Indoor Games' (from 'Lizard') were used as the opening tune for a Hungarian film called 'The Elephant'.

On the subject of film - RF was commissioned in the 1980's to write the soundtrack for a sci-fi movie to be called 'Neuromancer', based on a story by William Gibson. Because of a conflict with the rights to the film, the project was never completed. It appears that now the film may be done after all, although it is not known if RF is involved
