King Kong (2005)

Corrected entry: After Kong breaks loose from the chains, in some shots the chain tower on the left side disappears: there is nothing next to the platform stairs.

Correction: The sequence runs from 2:29:20 through 2:30:45. Both towers are always there although it seems to be that something changes on the left (facing the picture) group of stairs.

King Kong (2005)

Corrected entry: When Ann is climbing up the ladder at the top of the Empire State, she has discarded her high-heeled shoes (although we don't see them there is a brief flash of foot past her skirt from above and she climbs far too fast to have them on). Yet when the ladder breaks, Kong catches her and deposits her safely inside the building and the shoes have reappeared on her feet.

Correction: Ann's shoes (silver) are clearly visible at 2:46:35, 2:49:05 and especially at 2:49:40 when she's hanging from the ladder. Can't imagine any reason why she would have wanted to remove them.

King Kong (2005)

Corrected entry: When Carl is waiting behind the wall to trap King Kong, the sailor holding the machete (before Preston takes it) is the same guy who got kicked off a cliff during the Brontosaurus chase. I'd figure a 1000+ foot drop would've surely killed the man, and even if it somehow didn't I don't see how he found his way back up to meet with the rest of the crew.

Correction: The crew member who is pushed off the cliff by the "longnecks" is an older man with a gray beard and mustache; he's wearing mostly brown clothing. The man holding the machete is much younger, no beard, no mustache and dressed mostly in blue.

King Kong (2005)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Carl, Jack some of the other people are fighting off the insects, just before the young man pulls the bullet magazine out of the bag; you can see what looks like a skeleton to his right. Between the ribs on the left part of the skeleton, a wheel and other mechanical-looking objects can be seen.

Correction: Not sure it's a wheel and, even if it is, why would this be a mistake? Unusual, certainly, but who knows what other ships found the island and what the natives offered to Kong?

King Kong (2005)

Corrected entry: When we first come into the galley, several crossed-out lines of writing can be seen on the chalkboard mounted on the wall. When the crew enters to confront Denham about their true destination, the chalkboard is mostly blank, with only a couple of faint smudges.

Correction: There are actually TWO blackboards. The one with the hash marks in the first one we see as the shot pans into the room. It is directly in front of Carl and to Colin's right. During the "discussion of destination" scene, the camera never goes back in this direction. The second blackboard (the one with the smudges) is directly outside the galley where Lumpy is standing.
