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 being burnt with the flamethrower, the flames have a clear clean cut on the left edge, revealing where the composite image was placed. In some shots, you can see the whole outline of the pasted image.

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.
