I remember reading that on IMDB or some place similar. He's kept at 25 feet high in the 2005 film, correct?

There are no goofs in King Kong. If you say there are he will appear in your window, pick you up and chew on you a while.

In related news, Entertainment Weekly recently published an article about King Kong's height throughout the years: King Kong (1933): 24 feet - In the original masterpiece, Kong’s size changes noticeably between scenes, especially to make him seem bigger next to the Manhattan skyline. King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962): 148 feet - Initially, Japanese filmmakers wanted to pit a giant Frankenstein against Godzilla. In the end, they picked Kong, scaling him up for more of a fair fight. King Kong Escapes (1967): 66 feet - Kong shrank for his second appearance in a kaiju movie. This time he faced off against his evil robot doppelgänger, Mechani-Kong. King Kong (1976): 55 feet - The American remake brought Kong back to New York and into the 1970s. Instead of climbing the Empire State Building, he scales the Twin Towers. King Kong (2005) 25 feet - Peter Jackson’s faithful homage took a (slightly) more realistic approach, returning Kong to roughly his original size. Kong: Skull Island (2017): 100 feet - Talk about a growth spurt. In preparation for 2020’s Godzilla vs. Kong, everyone’s favorite ape got another size upgrade.

For Godzilla to stand erect with his feet on the bottom of San Francisco Bay (even at its shallowest point) while still towering over the bridge would easily make him taller than every skyscraper in downtown San Francisco. But during the climactic battle, it's clear that a lot of the buildings are taller than him. |

Kong Skull Island's sunset never really completes, even though it's one of the film's money shots (first idea pitched as per blu commentary). I'm pretty alright with these types of goofs so long as the films themselves are fun, we're talking about giant ancient terrestrial monster animal movies. |
