Ironic, too, that in such a bloated production filled with unnecessary backstories, subplots and details, the one thing I would have wanted to see - how the hell they get Kong back onto the ship and into New York - was completely left out. We spend an hour on the ship without Kong and not one minute on what would surely be a precarious trip with him aboard?Also, what happened to the natives after the first encounter? They just disappeared? Surely, on an island with stampeding dinosaurs, insects the size of automobiles and a ferocious 25 ft ape, the natives weren't going to be driven off by a handful of men with guns for long. Should they really have abandoned their walled village (the only relative safe spot on the island) without staging a counterattack later in the film?
