King Kong

[walrus]

The ship they use to go to Skull Island is owned by a captain who specialises in animal capture, and has a series of cages below deck.  However, I don't see how they would have lifted King Kong into these cages, let alone fitted him into a cage or stopped the ship from sinking with him on board.

This part of the film is glossed over with a cleverly positioned cut, so my guess is you just have to allow for artistic license on that one!

But I'm guessing he's one heavy fucker, so the boat would sink? Did they go searching for him intially then?

[walrus]

That would be my guess as well....

No they didn't.  Essentially you get an hour at the start about how Jack Black is going to make a film (love-story) and how he is financially broke and is desperately seeking funds for the movie.  He intends to make the film on Skull Island due to it's remoteness, but does not invisage the crap he encounters....

Or a talking animal of any description, ideally cat, dog, owl, badger or monkey, think of the tales they'd tell, and what sort of accent they'd have.  Would a German Shepherd have a rough pinehurst accent if that's where it grew up, or would it talk with a german twang.

you could always get a singing mouse.

personally I'd like one that does a bit of robert johnson type blues - "I woke up this morning, my cheese was gone", something like that
