* GatlingGood: Kong is taken down not by biplanes with machine guns, but by helicopters armed with miniguns. Kong is ''shredded'', with [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank blood spurting like a geyser]].

Interestingly, this movie is probably the first time most moviegoers saw a gatling gun in action, aside from ''Film/RoosterCogburn'', which featured the early hand-cranked version. After this, they probably didn't want to see it again.

The original film was released a year before the Hays Code was fully enforced in 1934, indeed when it was re-released in 1938 a number of scenes were taken out to comply with the code's rules. The differences had more to do with changing societal norms in the '30s vs. the '70s, given the sexual revolution a decade earlier.

* HotterAndSexier: ''Much'' sexier than the 1933 original, which is to be expected given the film was no longer restrained by the rules of the Hays Code like the orginal was. This is most prevalent with Dwan, a full on MsFanservice with a shower scene showing off her (blurred) nude body followed immediately by a ModestyTowel, and later on gets partially stripped by Kong, with her breasts on full display for a few minutes.

Hyperbolic in the EXTREME. Maybe someone is mesremembering the scene, but Kong does NOT get reduced to a pile of mangled flesh, not even close.

* TomboynessUpgrade: Downplayed, this movie's version of Ann, the character Dwan, has short hair and is a little more assertive compared to Fay Wray's Ann from the 1939 movie, she's still traditionally feminine.
