King Kong (2005)

Corrected entry: For most of the first half of the movie, Kong is shown carrying Ann while he's running at incredible speeds. While he's doing this, he shows no regard for poor Ms. Darrow. She's being shaked about, bounced off the ground, and having her face smacked into the dirt. Being caught in a vice-like grip to start with, she should be either dead or have severe breaks, fractures, and internal injuries. Factor in all the G-forces and whamming, she should have a broken neck, crushed ribcage, a miriad of organ punctures, and broken arms. However, later, we see her looking just fine. Fine enough to do a little song and dance, Vaudeville style. Right.

Correction: Ignoring the fact that this is a fantasy (apes don't come that big) and we allow liberties for such story telling, I can hold a grape in my hand without crushing it, yet I'm capable of crushing it easily. Kong takes similar care to protect her. As for 'forces', a hamster will survive in my hand while I run with it. Kong also tends to not swing the carrying arm, again to protect her. The little damage she does take is the bit that gets through despite his best efforts.
