Continuity mistake: When Kong breaks the cage in New York, the human-in-disguise gorilla is different from the mechanical model used in the wide shots, most noticeably the mechanical stiff movements and the dirty teeth that swap to white and pearly.

Revealing mistake: When Kong is atop the Twin Tower and throws objects to the soldiers below, check the last one: there's a blatant metal lid on the set ahead in the very same spot where an explosion occurs seconds later, most surely where the pyrotechnics were hidden.

Continuity mistake: When the lion statue from the library comes alive, Stantz stares at it, hair nicely brushed. The shot swaps to an aerial angle where a breeze blows, and his hair is all messed up. Instant cut to a shot from behind, and the breeze is gone, his hair not fluttering anymore and not so messed up as a frame before.

Character mistake: Eric says he found the little mermaid sculpture "on the coast of Cartagena" - as the subtitles confirm - but he mispronounces it as CartageƱa.
