Corrected entry: The scene where Kong peels off Ann's clothes was censored from the original release for being too racy, but it was later restored. Also, when the sailors are being rolled off the log bridge they were supposed to fall into a pit and be eaten by giant spiders, but the scene was removed because it tended to scare audiences into walking out of the theatre.

Corrected entry: When Kong throws the boulder in the island village and the car in New York, they fall onscreen very slowly for such heavy objects.
Correction: This entry is silly. all objects fall at the same rate of speed because of gravity. only an outside force such as friction or propulsion can change that.

King Kong (1933)
Corrected entry: The dinosaur that rises from the lake is an apatosaurus (or something from the same family). Apatosaurus is herbivorous, and would never try to eat humans as depicted. Even if the species had changed its diet in the millions of years since its apparent decease, its body is not appropriate for hunting: too big, too bulky, too slow, etc.
Correction: The hippopotamus is bulky, slow, and herbivorous too. It's aquatic as well. It contributes to a huge number of human deaths every year by biting them. It's rarely in self-defense, and more out of general aggression.
Correction: It was just being territorial. It's never shown eating people, it just bites and chews them up in its mouth and spits them out.
