Continuity mistake: When Denham shows a second map to the captain, one can see it has a big map on the center part. In the close-up, it swaps to being a small drawing on a side.
King Kong (1933)
1 picture since 17 Apr '24, 23:34
Starring: Bruce Cabot, Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, Frank Reicher
Revealing mistake: As the men walk past the downed stegosaurus, the camera moves faster than they do (judging from the background) but they stay at the center of the screen. Obviously the camera on the model of the stegosaurus moved faster than the camera on the men.
Carl Denham: Kong! The eighth wonder of the world!
Question: Closely connected questions relating to Kong's massive size and weight: How did the crew "lift" him from the raft into the ship? Where did they keep him in the ship? (there doesn't seem to be a hold big enough) How did they feed him for the several weeks it took to get to New York? And lastly, how did they get him from the ship to the theater?

Answer: It's never shown or explained, and the film uses a broad "suspension of disbelief" premise. The audience just accepts the characters were able to somehow transport a huge ape to New York City.
