Adaptational Alternate Ending | |
| The Mighty Kong / int_4a5fcde | comment |
Adaptational Alternate Ending: Besides being a Lighter and Softer adaptation of King Kong, the film changes the original's Bittersweet Ending into a straight up Happy Ending, right down to Kong surviving the battle on (and subsequent fall from) the Empire State Building. | |

Disneyfication | |
| The Mighty Kong / int_64f3ea6e | comment |
Disneyfication: Unlike the life-and-death peril of the original film, this version of Kong features musical numbers (done by The Sherman Brothers no less), a boy sidekick and his monkey, and dancing animals. Also, Kong lives at the end. | |

Only Known by Initials | |
| The Mighty Kong / int_6b353f78 | comment |
Only Known by Initials: Denham is never referred to as Carl at any point in the movie, everyone calls him C.B. (and it's never explained what the B. stands for). | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| The Mighty Kong / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: One poster◊ used to promote the movie (probably a teaser) depicts the movie as if it was a darker and more serious movie like the original 1933 classic or the 1976 remake and not the colorful kid-friendly musical it really is. | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
| The Mighty Kong / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: In the previous adaptations, Kong dies after falling off a high building. In this version however, he survives the fall off the Empire State Building to provide a more family-friendly ending. | |

I'm Okay! | |
| The Mighty Kong / int_a32c747d | comment |
I'm Okay!: At one point in his New York rampage, Kong places a car with a couple inside onto train tracks, which immediately speeds away — only to find itself about to hit an oncoming train head-on. The collision is obscured, but the woman exclaims "That's the last time I let you drive!" to let the audience know they somehow survived (assuming you can hear it over the cacophony of the crash). | |

| The Mighty Kong / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: In comparison to its previous adaptations, this film is much family-friendly in tone. Kong's fight scenes are also toned down more. | |

Writing Around Trademarks | |
| The Mighty Kong / int_d4c98786 | comment |
Writing Around Trademarks: Most likely the reason why Kong is never referred to as "King Kong," not even during the Broadway show, Denham just calls him "The Mighty Kong" instead. Weirdly enough, he is called "King Kong" in promotional material, like the trailer and VHS cover. | |
