The Only Kong Movie Too...


Even attempt to explain how the crew brought Kong back to New York. Though they didn't explain how they got him into the oil tanker, but at least we see how they got him across the ocean.

Does it really need to be spelled out in the original? They knocked him out with gas grenades and put him on a giant cargo ship. It's not a leap to assume they kept him unconscious. Though there also could have been a section of the ship that could hold him.

He woke up and was on the verge of wrecking the ship but Jessica Lange calmed him down.

I saw this a long time ago, so I don’t remember it well. Do they keep him unconscious the entire voyage back? That has to be a long voyage, at a minimum 10 days. I don’t think a large mammal can be kept unconscious that long. In a human, it would cause neurological damage and other health issues.

They don't show the voyage back in the original. Whether or not he wasn't sedated the whole time is just one guess. As for the harm, back then most people didn't care that much about animals in general. In this case, Kong was just a way to make money. I'm pretty certain they wouldn't care about any neurological damage as long as he survived. Regardless, we don't know if he was kept unconscious.
