Trivia: The line "Hold on to your butts" said by Samuel L. Jackson is also said by him in Jurassic Park.
Trivia: The helmet with the line "born to kill" and the peace and love sign from the film Full Metal Jacket is seen in the movie.
Trivia: The fight between Kong and the octopus is reference to the movie King Kong vs Godzilla from 1962.
Trivia: Kong has only 14 minutes of screen time in the entire film.
Factual error: In the scene at the Bangkok docks, the ship has the name Athena but with the Greek letter Lambda instead of each capital letter A. This would make the name something like Lthenl, and is a nonsense mix of Greek and English (Roman) letters.
Hank Marlow: Who's winning the war?
Captain James Conrad: Which one?
Hank Marlow: That makes sense, I guess.
Question: Maybe I blinked, or maybe they cut a scene. How did Kong get tangled up in chains while he was fighting the big one?
Answer: The chains are anchor chains from the ship wrecks that were there.
