12 Things Noticed in King Kong

1. The license plate on the taxi Adrian Brody takes at the end reads "9Z 16"

2. When Naomi Watts first meets Kong in New York, a Wollworth store can be seen in the background.

3. When Adrian Brody is taking the elevator to the top of the Empire State Building, the highest floor number displayed is "101"

4. As would be accurate for the the time, the stop lights in New York have only a red and green light.

5. Peter Jackson makes a cameo as one of the biplane's tail gunners. One could say that he killed Kong twice: the ape, and the franchise. (J/K!)

6. When the chloriform bottles are first displayed, grenades can be seen accompaning them, though they are never used.

7. The two asian characters and the only black character (besides the natives) are all killed in violent deaths.

8. All 4 main characters (Black, Brody, Watts, and Kretschmann) all survive despite numerous life-threatening situations.

9. Jack Black makes a comment to Naomi Watts that with Vaudeville, you must kill the audience or else they kill you. Later, Watts must give her act before Kong, the audience, kills her.

10. Most of the New York sets in the beginning are revisited by Kong's path of destruction.

11. The neon advertisement sign in the background outside the theatre features an advertisment for Chevrolet.

12. The chocolate Denham offers to the native boy is Nestle brand.
