King Kong (2005 film)/Wall Banger

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Wall Bangers from King Kong (2005 film) include:

  • King Kong makes off with Ann in the 2005 remake - in the dead of winter. She's wearing only a flimsy cocktail gown. And then Kong takes her to the top of the Empire State Building. It should have been more than cold enough to kill her all the way up there - especially after he puts her down.
    • She should probably have been blown off the rooftop by the wind.
  • The infamous "Ice Skating" scene. Just...why? Oh, right... Non Sequitur Scene.
  • How was Kong planning on mating with her? Romantic love is, in real life, unique to humans. What was Kong thinking? There is no way to fit his tab in her slot, there is no way she could carry his offspring... then again, judging by the scene where he shakes her like a paint can and she remains unharmed, she is Made of Iron.
    • Maybe Kong was just thinking of her as has cute widdle bitty pet hairless monkey...
    • Given that Peter Jackson used the real life story of the gorilla Coco, who adopted a kitten, that probably was the intended effect.
  • Anne doesn't spend the movie screaming in the remake when she's captured by Kong. Say what you want about women's rights and stereotypical gender-specific roles in movies, but she is too calm by half. Heck, she is assertive with Kong a few times when they're in the jungle together.
    • Hell, anyone, regardless of gender, would scream and cry and soil themselves if grabbed by a giant primate. Anne, by not having normal human reactions to being captured by a giant gorilla, is obviously a sociopath.
    • Not necessarily a sociopath, but suffering some kind of mental illness, yes. Then again, wasn't Anne suicidally depressed back at the beginning of the movie?
      • Alternately she's just in shock and isn't treating any of this as real danger because the numbness hasn't worn off yet. This is actually a real-world syndrome: "disassociation".
