* RuleOfSymbolism: When Nevitt undergoes his DefiantToTheEnd VillainousBreakdown and tries to shoot Kong dead with his sidearm, he has coincidentally stumbled out of his Jeep and into the little family cemetery of the farm the Kong couple is nesting in. Appropriate location for Kong squashing him flat.

* DefiantToTheEnd: Gotta give it to Nevitt: even when he's reduced to only his Colt .45 sidearm and it's pretty obvious Kong is gonna smear him all over the ground with his fist (which he does), he doesn't stop shooting and calling him every insult he can think of.

This guy could easily trade and compare notes with [[Film/KongSkullIsland Lt. Col. Packard]].

* EveryCarIsAPinto: Tanks and cars catch on fire by getting flipped over and thrown around. Oddly subverted when an actual Ford Pinto appears in an early scene and crashes, only to simply roll to a stop with no explosion to be seen.


Added DiffLines:

* TimeSkip: Besides the 10-year jump in the opening, there's also a skip halfway through the movie of many months, to allow for the gestation of Baby Kong.
