Trivia
After King Kong has been successfully gassed on the beach, and just before the break to New York, Denham yells that they've captured "Kong! The Eighth Wonder of the World!" He says "Kong" rather than "King Kong" because at that point in the script development, the picture's title was simply "Kong". See more »Goofs
Continuity: As the crew stand behind the sparse shrubbery to watch the natives performing the ceremony, Ann request to move forward to get a closer look. She does so but when the POV switches to the wide angle shot showing all of the action, Ann is no longer at the front watching the ceremony. See more »Quotes
