King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Other mistake: While Ann Darrow is lying on the Empire State Building ledge beside the ladder, the backdrop shows the Chrysler Building, Queensboro Bridge, and Roosevelt Island, behind to the right. However, after Kong falls from the skyscraper, when Jack appears and says, "Ann, hang on, dear," this one shot is angled toward the left of the ESB, but the set's backdrop is positioned so it's the same background with the Chrysler Building, Queensboro Bridge, and Roosevelt Island, behind to the left.

King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When King Kong carries Ann Darrow to the top of the Empire State Building, he places her on the ledge near the fixed ladder mounted to the building. During the scene, in Ann's close-ups, the ladder vanishes from where it should be, and in the zoom-in shots (biplane POV), the ladder is mounted in a different area than in the long shots.

Continuity mistake: While Henry and Marcus are being held inside the tank, Indiana rides in circles and baits the tank to ram into one of the cars.
