Trivia: For a single frame, one can see the structure that holds the Kong puppet. The first time it's still visible in modern copies at time code 00:52:36 (after the people run away on a log used as a bridge). The second one was digitally removed years ago, and it takes place when Kong exits the cave right after Ann faints. (00:52:36 - 01:05:30)

Continuity mistake: Kong keeps changing styles throughout the movie at least 4 times: In the close-ups of its head it either has a round face with dirty teeth, fangs and small nostrils or white teeth with no fangs; as opposed to the full body models where it swaps between a cone-head forehead with small nostrils, and a rounder one with larger nostrils, both models with pearly white teeth.

Sacha ★

Revealing mistake: When Kong is about to attack the train, the building on the right (a superimposed projection) wobbles like jelly for unknown reasons. It's not because of Kong's footsteps, for it never happens in any previous scenes.

Continuity mistake: When Kong lifts Ann from the bed she is wearing a short dress. In the close-up the dress goes way down to her ankles.
