King Kong (2005)	comment	Peter Jackson's 2005 take on King Kong returns to the original story as propounded in 1933: Depression-era filmmaker Carl Denham (Jack Black), dodging debt collectors, hires an out-of-work actor Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) and successful playwright Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody), charters a ship and quickly leaves on an expedition to find a certain uncharted island...Jackson's film diverges from the original by providing more of Denham's and Ann's respective back stories. Further, Driscoll is changed from the ship's first mate to a playwright, and a narcissistic Hollywood actor (Kyle Chandler) is added for comic relief. The natives are much more brutal than past portrayals. And, as with the 1976 film, a good deal of attention is paid to the unusual "romance" between the girl and the primate, which is strong enough that Ann would rather stay on the island with him than see him captured; and later she refuses to participate in his exhibition in the United States. She does, though, show up in time to halt his rampage through the city, and from there... well, you know how this one ends.Interestingly, this version makes a show of Denham filming scenes and dialog lifted from the original 1933 movie.Two licensed games based on the film were released in the same year; Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie and Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World. The former is considered by many to be a rare modern example of a good movie tie-in game, with props going to the atmosphere, environments and Kong gameplay. There's also the tie-in book The World of Kong: a Natural History of Skull Island, which delves into Skull Island's wildlife and features many creatures that don't appear in the film.

He is younger in this film, being played by a 43-year old Thomas Kretschmann. The novelization of the original film, the original not the rewrite, never gives Lumpy an exact age but is described as an old man. He is younger in this film, played by a 41-year-old Andy Serkis.

The only other mammalian creatures (the Terapusmordax) are a severely downplayed case — whilst they're hideously ugly and semi-antagonistic (and one glares menacingly at Jack), they only really attack when they're provoked.

King Kong (2005) / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
King Kong (2005) / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: Skull Island has far too many predatory species than could possibly be sustained by the number of herbivore species, and the invertebrates shown obviously violate the Square-Cube Law by being so large. (The excessive predators can be explained by the shrinking habitat; the companion book mentions that Skull Island is steadily sinking into the sea through a combination of erosion and violent geological activity◊. This mirrors the end of the Cretaceous period, where the predator population spiked due to vast amounts of sick and dying herbivores, before crashing themselves when their prey was finally exhausted.) As stated in Hollywood Evolution, it is also apparent that Skull Island is a relatively small island with tons of huge wildlife. Ann should have been frozen to death by the end of that final sequence, wearing nothing but a flimsy dress, especially if it was cold enough for Central Park's lake to be frozen solid, and definitely after falling through said lake when an artillery shell hits it. Kong gets bitten on a limb by a Vastatosaurus. Supplemental material lists them as having more or less the same jaw strength as a Tyrannosaurus rex, so this bite should have crippled if not removed the limb entirely. Though since Kong is an absolute titan of a gorilla he's much more durable and can take these sorts of damage. Those vines from which Kong, Ann, and two fully-grown vastatosaurs dangle within a chasm must've been made of braided ultra-high molecular polyethylene just to support their weight, let alone not snap under the strain of such giant beasts plummeting into their coils.

King Kong (2005) / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: According to The World of Kong, Skull Island sank like its fate in the classic sequel, dooming everything in the island to extinction. But in certain cut sequels and sources in the Wiki, the majority of the animals were saved from various expeditions before the island sank and was re-homed in nearby islands. Likewise, even if one were skeptical on the rumors, the World of Kong was written like a genuine zoological journal, which hints that these animals must have been captured and extensively studied to ensure that the amount of detail was accurate. As such, the fate of these nightmare animals is up in the air, but if they were captured and studied, then at the very least a small population of each species survived past the island's demise assuming they were rehoused in a zoo or a controlled environment.

A strange variation can be seen (or heard) in the use of the song Bye, Bye, Blackbird. It was written and composed in 1926, prior to the events of the movie. However, the version used is the cover by Peggy Lee from the 1950s.

King Kong (2005) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
King Kong (2005) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: A reference to an actress, "Fay", who is working on a film directed by Cooper over at "R.K.O." I.E. the original King Kong. The name of the lead actor for Denham's film is Bruce. The original 1933 film's Jack Driscoll was played by Bruce Cabot. Large chunks of the original dialogue are lifted verbatim from the 1933 film, sometimes as near-parody (the original's banter between Jack and Ann is used as Denham films his two actors). Kong's stage show in New York includes an elaborate (and inaccurate) depiction of the native sacrifice ritual, which is remarkably similar to the depiction of the actual ritual seen in the 1933 film. And the music for the entire sequence is a new performance of the original's score. Rewriting Jack into the role of the writer gets spun into a gag as Ann initially mistakes another character for him. Bonus points for having the scene turn immediately into a Right Behind Me moment. The fight between Kong and the last Vastatosaurus rex is practically move-for-move the same as the last half of the fight between Kong and the Tyrannosaurus rex in the original, right down to Kong playing with the dinosaur's head after killing it and then roaring and beating his chest triumphantly. The giant crickets that crawl all over Jack in the giant-bugs scene are oversized versions of New Zealand wetas, a self-reference by Weta Workshop, which designed and crafted the movie's creatures. The entire scene in the crevice is a reference to the script, but not the actual film, of the 1933 original: the script had it that not all of the rescue party immediately died after Kong threw the log they were trying to cross into the ravine but were then attacked and devoured by a variety of monstrous animals at the bottom, most of them arthropods. Jackson tried to make sure that this part couldn't be cut out by solving the very reason it was cut in the first place: It slowed the story down. He fixed this by having more significant supporting characters die, and having Denham's camera destroyed to give his character a stronger reason for bringing Kong back to New York City. Meanwhile, the original lost "spider pit sequence" was recreated using period-appropriate technology and filming techniques and included it as a bonus feature on the DVD. Lumpy the cook was originally a character from an early draft of the 1933 film, who was replaced by Charlie in the finished production. Lumpy did appear in the original film's novelization, which may be why Jackson opted to include him alongside his friend Choy. Ancillary material referring to Skull Island later sinking after an earthquake is an oblique reference to the original film's sequel The Son of Kong. invokedPeter Jackson and makeup artist Rick Baker have Creator Cameos as a pilot and machine gunner in the final sequence, just as co-directors Merian C. Cooper and Ernest Schoedsack did in the original. The screams of the sailors being thrown off the log and falling into the ravine in the 1933 original, are used for the sailors' screams during the brontosaur avalanche. The prequel novel includes a character named "Sam Hardy", which was the name of an actor in the 1933 film.

King Kong (2005) / int_28d73447	comment	Regional Redecoration: A Natural History of Skull Island explains that Skull Island used to be much larger and was first colonized around 3,000 years ago. However, due to its position at the boundary between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates, it was subject to a combination of geological instability, as well as magnetic anomalies and freak storms. The same forces that created the island began tearing it apart, causing it to slowly sink over the last millennia. This process accelerated as the land grew smaller and smaller, with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions causing entire regions to collapse into the ocean. Fifteen years after its discovery by the modern world, the island, its unique ecosystem, and native peoples were gone forever.

King Kong (2005) / int_2dfc29a2	comment	Dumb Dinos: The stampeding brontosaurs are Too Dumb to Live; they crash into cliffs and fall over each other, and generally do more harm to themselves than the attacking predators could ever do to them. The carnivorous dinosaurs are not much better: they mindlessly attack Ann Darrow while their previous prey, a large lizard, is still in their mouth, even when she is protected by Kong himself, or when they hang on vines over a ravine for their own lives. Somewhat justified for the brontosaurs as the island has been rapidly becoming geographically unstable, and they are decidedly not built for the kind of breakneck turns with potentially fatal falls that are now the norm.

King Kong (2005) / int_2e406a1	type	Hollywood Evolution
King Kong (2005) / int_2e406a1	comment	Hollywood Evolution: Evolutionary biology and ecosystems don't work that way. Creatures trapped on an island tend to select for smaller size, not larger—and yet if you read The Natural History of Skull Island or watch the relevant documentary on the DVD, that's exactly the opposite of how the film makers designed the animals. Also, with that many apex predators in such a tiny area (the vastatosaurs, the raptors, plus the various giant arthropods), the island would've been devoid of life in no time as the ecosystem fell apart. It is implied in the film (and explicitly said in the Natural History tie-in book) that the island used to be much larger and is sinking into the sea and breaking apart. Still, for animals that large, the break-up would have to have been of a very large land mass and would have had to only been happening for a very short period of time, geologically speaking (the book confirms it as around 1000 years), which makes it something of a Voodoo Shark. Island gigantism is a real concept, but it happens on very large islands as opposed to tiny ones, and its effects are greatly exaggerated in the film, probably because huge dinosaurs and bugs and a gigantic ape are interesting to watch. Also, the mockumentary tie-in suggests that King Kong is a relative of Gigantopithecus, a real ape (and a very large one, although nowhere near Kong-sized) believed to have died out about 100,000 years ago. But Gigantopithecus was a relative of modern orangutans, not gorillas. There is no way an unrelated ape could evolve to be 100% identical to an oversized gorilla. It's also not unheard of for landmasses to change within a very short period of time. Some examples include the Minoan Eruption on the Greek Island of Santorini and one hypothesis for the Zanclean Flood.

Even during his rampage in New York, whereas the original Kong threw the "fake Ann" harshly, this one is shown tossing the women he mistakes for Ann in the street aside fairly gently. (Though the crunching sound they make when they fall indicates they're badly injured anyway, if not killed.)

The film covers it up by cutting from a close-up view to a mid-range shot from an obscured angle so fast it's somewhat difficult to spot. Look closely in this clip, though, about 48 seconds in. From the same clip: The scene also switches briefly to Ann's shocked face as Kong crushes the vastatosaur's head like a peanut. In the bug pit, Lumpy is slowly devoured alive by the bloodworms. One of his arms, his leg, and his head are all eaten by three worms at the same time, and many more go in for his torso. Thankfully, the camera cuts away in time before we could see what happens after that.

She understandably freaks out and gets out of the log—only to see the V. rex standing behind her with the dead Foetodon hanging from its mouth. She manages to escape from that V. rex, only to end up trapped on a dead trunk with no way out from the bull V. rex behind her. Thankfully it's at this point that Kong shows up.

Jimmy in particular is a bad case; we have no idea if he survived or not, our last shot of him is just Jack cradling Jimmy in the water after they were both knocked out of the rowboat. The most likely explanation is that Englehorn and his crew took their share of the profits and then beat it out of New York City as quickly as possible, none of them wanting to be around when Kong inevitably broke free. After the crew enters the village to save Ann, the natives are never seen or mentioned again. Though, considering that background material stating that Skull Island eventually sank into the sea, they're doomed anyway.

King Kong (2005) / int_88ebc539	type	Always a Bigger Fish
King Kong (2005) / int_88ebc539	comment	Always a Bigger Fish: This is Skull Island, so there are several examples: In the film: Ann Darrow hid from a huge carnivorous Foetodon a 2-ton neosuchian land crocodile in a hollow log. As it tears at the wood to try to get her it suddenly stops, and she seems safe... until half the same land-croc is seen dangling from the jaws of a ginormous V. Rex, which just bit it in two. At one point in the extended cut, the film crew is attacked by a swarm of giant aquatic Scorpio-pedes while rafting across a lake, but the centipedes all quickly retreat when they sense the approach of a Piranhadon. In the World of Kong, Piranhadon itself needs to be wary of V. Rex when ambushing on shore, as the giant fish could become an easy prey to the much larger Tyrannasaurid. Kong himself is a near constant example of this trope in the first half of the movie, as he repeatedly kills a number of animals that are trying to eat Ann Darrow. He's probably the only animal on the island capable of killing a fully-grown V. rex. In the zoological book, The World of Kong: Giant Spider Stickalithus hunt ostrich-sized birds called Hylaeornis. But Stickalithus itself can fall prey to the equally humongous Lividuvespa, the largest wasp in the world with a 3 meter wingspan. Think the tarantula hawk wasp on steroids. Gorgonopsid Lycaesaurus are known to hunt baby Ferructus and prey on Brutornis eggs. But they themselves would be eaten by Brutornis if the hunt goes awry. The Great Grey Heron is known to intentionally stalk the waterways to hunt baby Foetodons. But once the Foetodons grow up, the tables are turned. The small flying lizard, Dracomicros hospes is often hunted by the dimetrodon-descendent Malevolusaurus perditor. Malevolusaurus itself is hunted by the gorgonopsid Gladiodon igneospinus.

The final scene is set in New York during winter, where it's so cold that the waters in Central Park Lake is frozen enough to support Kong's weight, and somehow Ann can run around in a thin, sleeveless dress. It gets really egregious when Kong climbs up the Empire State Building holding Ann; her poor fingers should've frozen completely and broke off the moment she tries climbing the metal railings, let alone dangling on the broken steel ladder for a few minutes. At any rate, by the time Jack reaches the Empire State Building's tip (he's at least wearing a thick jacket and thus excused from this trope) Ann should've been a beautiful blond ice sculpture.

It's full of creatures that are larger than should exist in nature, they're all aggressive and dangerous beyond anything nature could cook up, the somewhat magic-seeming natives emerge like ghosts from the ruins, and the geography is frightening. Even the standard biology failures actually work to reinforce this depiction; you know that they should not work the way they do, yet clearly, they do. It just makes the place even more awful and frightening, and it really says something that the giant Killer Gorilla is the most normal creature to be found there.

There's also a fundamental shallowness to him; when he mourns the death of the first member of his film team (speared and bludgeoned to death by the natives) and then uses the exact same speech to mourn the second death (eaten by venatosaurs), well, it makes you wonder how much he genuinely gives a damn about either death (though notably, he's shown gulping down whisky both times).

In the chasmous pit, Deplector reigns supreme as the lords of the abyss. In the jagged mountain tops, Gladiodon is the lone tyrant of Skull Island's tallest peaks.

One of them spots Ann and decides to give chase—despite having a large reptilian Komodo-dragon thing still in his mouth. And then two more join in. Every time they're given a chance to go for Kong instead of Ann, they go for Ann anyway. And then the last one keeps going after Kong kills the other two. In the tie-in book it's stated that vastatosaurs would attempt to kill infants of Kong's species at every opportunity, implying that they tried so hard to get at Ann in the movie because they thought she was an infant Kong. The raptors in the brontosaur stampede scene keep trying to get a bite of human instead of, you know, getting away from the stampede, or feasting on the tons of dead bronto-meat now before them. Although the venatosaurs may have continued chasing them away from the dead sauropods in a bid to protect their hard-earned meal. There's one aversion: in the same scene a venatosaur chases Jack. When Jack gets in between a brontosaur's legs, the raptor goes for closer, less protected prey: Carl.

It would have worked, had they used more chloroform, and Kong not seen Ann being dragged away by Jack...

There are some obvious differences: instead of a prominent overbite, the V. rex has overlapping teeth like a crocodile, as well as hardened body armor, a narrow waist, and three fingers on its hands. They're also much larger due to island gigantism, with almost twice the body mass of a Tyrannosaurus (16 tons vs 9).

The entire climax of the display of Kong was clearly an awful idea to anyone with any sense—letting Kong think that the woman he's clearly very protective of is panicking and in danger right in front of him is just asking for trouble. Likewise, when the flashbulbs are going off and clearly upsetting Kong, Denham just ignores it, despite the fact that is also a blatantly obvious bad idea. While it's understandable that Lumpy the cook is distraught over his friend Choy's death, wading back into the midst of the Carnictis worms to rescue his buddy's corpse isn't too bright, especially after he's already eluded them once and seen those nasty extensible mouths of theirs. This sadly gets him killed.

Now the people are only able to eke out a meagre existence on the outside of the wall, which keeps the dinosaurs in.

In a moment that seems like it's going to be a Not His Sled and Kong would be spared the fate the befalls his original incarnation, the pilots see Ann and break off the attack. Then one of the pilots shoots Kong in the back later anyways, where Ann is covered from the salvos from the plane by Kong's body. Earlier, there's a short respite in the "bug pit" scene where it seems like Jack, Jimmy, and Carl have managed to polish off the whole swarm of giant wetas and man-sized Big Creepy-Crawlies, while getting well clear of the mud puddle full of killer bloodworms. Then more ominous chiton-clicking starts up all around them, the camera draws back, and we see that hordes of much bigger predatory arthropods are closing in from the surrounding walls and crevices... And then it turns into an inversion of the Hope Spot, because right then Baxter and Englehorn show up and rescue them.

This mirrors the end of the Cretaceous period, where the predator population spiked due to vast amounts of sick and dying herbivores, before crashing themselves when their prey was finally exhausted.)

King Kong (2005) / int_da1c8191	comment	Writers Cannot Do Math: At Kong's premiere in New York, Carl mentions seventeen of their crew dying a terrible death, which is a gross underestimation. If we take into account the extended cut, at least 25 sailors lost their lives on Skull Island, and that's only assuming that those we do not see ripped apart make it out alive (if probably severely injured or even crippled for life), without which the death toll would increase to as many as fifty, making you wonder how many people manned the boat in the first place. Although it is conceivable that Carl, a sneaky bastard that he is, paid off some of the surviving members of the crew so they did not disclose the details of how many people actually died (and how they died), either because of fear of public backlash or the insurance costs he would have to cover.

King Kong (2005) / int_e26f04b4	comment	Last of His Kind: It is implied that Kong is the last giant ape on Skull Island: the most telling evidence is a shot of him entering his cave and walking past multiple skeletons of giant gorillas. This loneliness, along with the hostility of Skull Island's environment, accounts for both his ferocity and his need for company, which Ann Darrow supplies. Furthermore, as stated in the background materials, Skull Island's entire ecosystem is dying because the island is submerging due to geological activity. Only a few years after the events of the movie, a final earthquake buries Skull Island under the sea.

The weight of time, climate, seismic upheaval and neglect - not to mention Kong and other giant wildlife stomping all over it - has reduced the majority of these crumbling ruins to broken debris, but the island must've been home to a very grand civilization at one time.

King Kong (2005) / int_e567510d	comment	Determinator: Carl Denham is this, but it's subtly deconstructed; his determination to do things his way always leads to him pursuing things beyond the breaking point. It's implied that this resulted in his reputation for tending to ultimately flop his films in the past, and this is what leads to his foolish decisions that ultimately allow Kong to escape from the theatre. Jack Driscoll is a more traditional example. Nothing will stop him from trying to save Ann. After the bug pit has slaughtered almost everyone and the few survivors are rescued, Jack still decides to go after Ann all by himself (unarmed at that) and he succeeds against all odds.

Then more ominous chiton-clicking starts up all around them, the camera draws back, and we see that hordes of much bigger predatory arthropods are closing in from the surrounding walls and crevices... And then it turns into an inversion of the Hope Spot, because right then Baxter and Englehorn show up and rescue them.

The writer Jack Driscoll who takes his name and status as Anne's Love Interest. Mr. Hayes who takes his role as the Venture's first mate. Bruce Baxter plays a character similar to the 1933 Driscoll in Denham's film as a Mythology Gag and he's named after Bruce Cabot who played Driscoll in King Kong (1933). The extended cut splits the swamp rafting scene and Brontosaurus attack into two different scenes, with the creature that attacks the crew during the rafting scene changed into a giant fish.

It's also indicated that the natives chose Ann as a sacrifice specifically after she screamed, and Kong roared in response, whereas in the original, they just choose her arbitrarily because of her appearance.

As the island began sinking into the sea, the wall surrounding their city ended up being breached and they were forced to evacuate to the other side of it, taking refuge in the barren landscape containing the catacombs outside their city. Ironically, the wall once meant to keep predators out now became the only thing that was keeping them in.

They only start attacking when Kong wakes up and roars furiously upon seeing Jack trying to take Ann, and in that case, they most likely saw Kong as some sort of threat. Averted with everything else on Skull Island. They all just appear to want the crew dead, by any means necessary.
