Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Before Kong picks up Hayes he fires a shot from his pistol, then you see him cocking his weapon back again while he is in Kong's hands. He was shooting a semi-automatic pistol so there was no need to cock the gun again. See more »Crazy Credits
The end credits are set against an art deco backdrop rather than thetraditional black screen. The backdrop is an exact replica, in Technicolor,
of the same backdrop that was used for the opening credits in the 1933
