King Kong (2005 film)/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The '05 version cranks the T-Rex fight up to 11 by having Kong battle three at once.
  • The rescue from the bug pit in the 2005 version. Especially when Bruce Baxter, after giving up and heading back to the ship, swings down into the pit on a rope, blasting at bugs with a Tommy gun the whole time.
  • Arguably, a scene where Jack Black has fallen in the insect trench and all of his crew is dying around him, but the real kicker is the fact his film was destroyed on the impact of the fall. So not only does this mean this entire trip was totally pointless, but he wouldn't be able to avenge his friends death, whom he promised he would donate a good portion to the family to keep them financially stable. So when this happens, he SNAPS. He grabs the closest rifle he can find, and he starts kicking all forms of bug ass. It's not much, but to show that the character wasn't always a money grubbing bastard who cared only about himself was a nice touch.
