* As mentioned on the main page, Marlow's makeshift boat is named ''Gray Fox'', which is a ShoutOut to a character with the same name in the Franchise/VideoGame saga. Gray Fox is a Cyborg Ninja, combining elements of both American and Japanese cultures. The boat ''Gray Fox'' is created using scrap parts of both Marlow's plane and the Japanese pilot's plane and is decorated with ornaments of their personal items. Marlow himself also fights using his Japanese friend's shin-guntō sword, reflecting the 'Western Ninja/Samurai' image like Gray Fox does.

* Gunpei's sword doesn't resemble an ordinary shin-guntō, being in a shirasaya mounting, but when you remember that some soldiers brought katana that had been passed down in their family, and that shirasaya mountings are used to store swords for a long time, it could be that he brought his family sword and never had it put into the shin-guntō hilt.

* Kong surviving the events of this film in contrast to other film versions of Kong is arguably not just due to AdaptationalBadass. Some film scholars have argued that the original King Kong died because he was removed from his natural habitat and thrown into a hostile and unfamiliar environment where he was more vulnerable. This version of Kong, however, never leaves Skull Island and retains his home field advantage. As Marlow said, "Kong is God on this island!".

* The entire conflict between the soldiers and Kong is one massive case of StealthPun; being Vietnam veterans, they have battled against the Viet Cong. Now they're facing ''King Kong''.
