Continuity: When Carl is convincing Ann inside the diner, after she stands up and Carl convinces her to accept the role, there's a waitress behind Carl about to walk towards her. A split second later, while Carl says "she is a frightened woman" (or something like that) the waitress appears 12 feet away, and is now behind Ann way at the end of the diner.

Continuity: In a scene at the very top of the Empire State Building, Ann hugs Kong's left arm. In the very next shot, she is standing right in front of Kong, between both of his arms.

Continuity: When Carl closes the door to the taxi cab (with Preston in the cab) it's daylight. When Ann throws the business card on the ground it's nighttime.

Continuity: When the "headsman" native is shot by Captain Englehorn, he throws his arms in the air. He repeats this gesture with the second shot as well.

Continuity: When Kong is at the top of the Empire State building we see Ann start to climb the ladder and she is only a few rungs up when the camera view changes. When it cuts back to her, she is still climbing those first few rungs.

Continuity: When the main characters first arrive on the island and are attacked by the natives, one of the natives attempts to decapitate Carl but Englehorn arrives at the last minute and saves him by shooting the native three times. As he is falling, it is very noticeable that there is not a scratch on him. He never bleeds at all, there is not even an entrance hole for any of the bullets.

Audio problem: When the ladder Ann was standing on hits the ridgy part of the Empire State Building there is no loud crash.

Revealing: When Kong is shaking the tree down it's obvious that there's a screen behind the film crew when they fall.

Continuity: When the old man says he is moving back to Chicago, Ann hugs him and place her hand around him right below his neck. When it cuts her hand is lower down on his back.

Continuity: When the Skull Island natives are holding Ann's arms as the old native taunts her, their grip on Ann's arms and sleeves differ between front and back shots.

Revealing: As Kong and Anne Darrow exhale in the freezing New York air there are many shots where you can't see their breath frosting up as it comes out of their mouths.

Continuity: In the scene where Jack Black and Adrian Brody are talking on the boat (as it's getting ready to leave), when the camera is focused on Jack, the cityscape behind him (through the window) is moving (as if the boat has started moving), but when it focuses on Adrian, the cityscape behind him (through the window) is not moving.

Continuity: When Ann and Jack are about to kiss the first time, there is a close-up of Ann's face. When it cuts Jack's hand suddenly appears on her face.

Revealing: Despite being thrown, falling, being dragged and various other things, Ann's hair and face are almost always clean. Even when there does appear to be some dirt, in the next shot they are clean again.

Continuity: Kong continues to change size during the movie. The most obvious way to notice this is when his hands are near Ann. When Kong first finds Ann in NY, his hands are 3/4 the size they are immediately after when he picks her up.

Revealing: The crew is sailing to the island and the rough sea makes the boat move violently. Jack Driscoll stumbles but the things in his cabin don't move at all, or at least don't cause the chaos they should. Obviously the only thing moving is Jack and the camera.

Continuity: When Carl steps out of the room after screening his movie he doesn't cast any shadow on the door behind him. When it cuts his shadow suddenly appear on the door.

Continuity: Aboard the Venture, when Ann runs into Jack with her "good legs" she has a towel on her shoulder, which changes position until she goes to her cabin.

Continuity: When Ann is dancing in New York while King Kong is enchained, her hair is straight and then curly in the ends. But when she goes out in the streets and sees the Kong poster her hair is wavy. When she finally meets Kong again her hair is back to straight and curly.

Factual error: In the scene where Kong is running around New York City and is being chased by the Army, the first military open-topped sedan (which has a machine gun mounted in the rear seat) has a 1934 NY license plate on the front of the car. Military vehicles do not have civilian license plates, not even as a decoration.
