** The film's novelization, like many movie novelizations, was based on an earlier screenplay of the film, with a few minor differences that may be indicative of earlier plot ideas. For example, the ship was called the ''Wanderer'' rather than the ''Venture'', there was a character called Lumpy (retained in the [[Film/KingKong2005 2005 film remake]]), the RedShirt Jimmy had several lines (which were spread between other characters in the final film), Kong was presented in a giant cage rather than in chains, and he ''leaps'' to his death in the climactic battle to snatch a biplane out of the air, rather than simply dropping off the skyscraper after succumbing to his wounds.
