King Kong (1976)

Corrected entry: Natives on the island where King Kong lives have constructed a high barrier to protect them from the giant ape. But there is a door in the gigantic wall sufficiently large enough for King Kong to enter. Why?

Correction: This is explained in the novel (and in a correction to the 1933 film). The race of giant apes were once controlled by the islanders, who used them for manual labour. They erected the wall to keep out the dinosaurs and other dangerous animals, but the apes still needed to get in and out of the village.
