Other mistake: When Kong breaks free from the cage and the crowd runs away in panic before being stomped to death, there's an extra with white hair who is having the time of his life and can't stop smiling.
Other mistake: During the last shot of Dead Kong, one of the extras in the crowd waves his arm at the camera.
Factual error: The fact that the respiration of a single animal - however large - could lead to an increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the local area is so absurd it is laughable. Carbon dioxide exhalation is part of a closed loop cycle and the CO2 exhaled by Kong would be matched by the CO2 taken in by the plants growing on the island. It cannot be otherwise. Elevated levels of carbon dioxide are incredibly dangerous and any animal living on the island - including Kong - would suffer if things got out of kilter.
Jack Prescott: There is a girl out there who might be running for her life from some gigantic turned-on ape.
Answer: He probably knew it wasn't deep. It's his island; he knew every inch of it. Besides, it's a pool, not an ocean. It most likely had a small underground tunnel which spilled out somewhere on the island.
