Origins[]

King Kong is the last member of a species of giant prehistoric apes called Megaprimatus Kong. He remained secluded on a remote island populated by other giant creatures and was worshiped as a god by the island's natives. Kong's exact origins vary from film to film.

History[]

King Kong (1933)[]

Filmmaker Carl Denham and his crew arrived on the uncharted Skull Island to film a motion picture. The natives of the island kidnapped the film's leading lady, Ann Darrow, and sacrificed her to their god, King Kong. Kong burst through the jungle and beat his chest fiercely. Upon seeing Ann, Kong picked her up and admired her beauty. He then took her away into the jungle. Kong set Ann on a tree and wandered off to deal with members of the expedition who were pursuing him. As the men crossed a fallen log bridge, Kong grabbed and twisted the bridge, sending all of the men plummeting to their deaths except Jack Driscoll. Meanwhile, a Tyrannosaurus rex noticed Ann and tried to eat her. Kong hurried back to the scene and battled the T-rex. After a fierce battle, Kong broke the T-rex's jaw and retrieved Ann. Kong took Ann to his mountain lair, where he was suddenly attacked by pterodactyls. In the confusion, Jack rescued Ann and the two escaped from Kong's lair. After killing the pterodactyls, Kong chased after the two. He followed them to the natives' walled-off village, where the rest of the crew was hiding out. Kong tore the village apart in anger, but the film crew threw chloroform bombs at Kong, putting him to sleep. Denham decided to take Kong back to New York City and put him on display, claiming it would be a major attraction.

Kong was put on display inside of a theater in downtown New York before a stunned crowd. Denham assured all in attendance that they were in no real danger as Kong was held by unbreakable chrome steel chains. However, when photographers began taking pictures of Ann, Kong felt they were attacking her and broke free from the chains. Ann, Carl, and Jack evacuated safely, but many civilians were crushed by Kong as he smashed through the theater. Kong rampaged through the city streets, tossing cars and trains aside like toys. Kong followed Ann and kidnapped her from her apartment. Kong then began to climb the Empire State Building. The army deployed a squad of biplanes armed with machine guns to pursue Kong. Kong set Ann down on the very top of the building and roared defiantly at the planes. The planes opened fire on Kong with their machine guns, seriously wounding him. Kong still managed to tear the wing off of a plane and knock others out of the sky. Eventually, the bullet wounds were too much for Kong and he began to weaken. Kong looked down at Ann one more time and then fell from the building, smashing violently into the sides of the skyscraper as he plummeted. Crowds gathered around Kong's lifeless body in the street below. A policeman remarked to Carl Denham that the planes successfully stopped Kong, while Denham solemnly replied, "It wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty that killed the beast."

King Kong vs. Godzilla[]

Mr. Tako, the head of the Pacific Pharmaceuticals Company, sent an expedition to the remote Faro Island to search for a giant monster that was rumored to live there. The expedition were immediately met by natives, who begrudgingly permitted the party to stay on the island, but claimed no responsibility if their god, King Kong, ate them all. Kong's roar pierced the skies, and the natives bowed and prayed to him. Even the explorers were shaken by the roar. The next morning, the expedition tried to find the source of the roar, but were driven back to the village as the mountain began to collapse. The natives prayed again, believing it to be a sign of Kong. Meanwhile, a Giant Octopus came ashore in search of the Soma berry juice produced by the natives. The villagers attacked the Giant Octopus, but were thrown violently aside by its tentacles. Suddenly, King Kong tore through the gate protecting the village and beat his chest fearsomely. Kong tossed rocks at the Giant Octopus, which responded by jumping on Kong's face. Kong threw the Octopus off and pelted it with rocks again. Defeated, the Giant Octopus slithered back to the sea. Kong then picked up large jugs of Soma juice and began drinking them. The juice made Kong drowsy, and eventually he fell on his back. The natives chanted an danced until Kong finally fell unconscious. With Kong incapacitated, the party decided to bring him back to Japan as a publicity stunt for their company.

Along the way, the ship pulling the raft carrying Kong was stopped by the Japanese Coast Guard, who told Mr. Tako that he was financially liable for any destruction Kong caused. Suddenly, Kong began to stir. The men aboard the ship detonated the dynamite on the raft carrying Kong, only for Kong to rise from the water in anger. Kong swam to the Japanese mainland and wreaked havoc along the coastline. Meanwhile, Godzilla, who had just awakened from his seven-year hibernation in an iceberg, arrived on the mainland an encountered Kong in the wilderness. Kong threw rocks at Godzilla, only for Godzilla to respond by blasting Kong with his atomic breath. Burnt from the fiery blast, Kong walked away, leaving the victorious Godzilla clapping and mocking Kong. Later, after Godzilla was repelled from Tokyo by an electrical barrier, Kong tore the wires down and absorbed the electrical energy before entering Tokyo himself. Kong grabbed a passing subway train and kidnapped a woman from it. Kong then climbed onto the Diet Building. Using rockets filled with Soma berry juice and the music of the natives, the Defense Forces put Kong to sleep and caused him to slide off the building. His hostage was recovered, and Kong was tied to giant balloons in order to be taken to Mt. Fuji and fight Godzilla again.

Kong was dropped on the slopes of Mt. Fuji the next morning and landed on top of Godzilla. The two monsters battled again, but Godzilla gained the advantage after Kong hit his head on a boulder and was left dazed. Godzilla set the forest ablaze with his atomic breath and seemingly was about to burn Kong alive, but suddenly a lightning storm passed overhead. The lightning revitalized Kong, who rose to his feet and shocked Godzilla with his touch. Godzilla and Kong grappled once more, with Kong's supercharged electrical attacks doing effective damage to Godzilla. Kong and Godzilla eventually fell over the side of the mountain and into the ocean, causing an earthquake. As the waves settled, Kong rose victorious from the water, with Godzilla nowhere in sight. Kong swam back to Faro Island to live in peace, while the humans decided to let him be and not pursue him any further.

King Kong (2005)[]

In 1933, Kong was living on Skull Island. One day, when it started raining, he let out a roar that echoed across the island and the native village. Carl Denham's film crew was there at the time, and the shaman woman take this as a sign that Kong was demanding the actress Ann Darrow as a new victim. The natives kidnapped Ann from the Venture and gave her as a sacrifice. Attracted by the sounds of percussion instruments and sacrificial fires, Kong emerged from the jungle at night and saw Ann. After touching her face with his massive hand, he grabbed her and took her into the jungle to the rock ledge where he had killed the other sacrifices. Ann, however, stabbed his hand with spikes on her ceremonial necklace and made a run for it. Kong quickly recaptured her and brought her to an ancient ruin where, when she appeared to him to be sleeping, he sat down to eat some bamboo.

On discovering that she had escaped, Kong made his way behind the ruins and slammed his great forearms down to trap her and he moved all around to prevent her from leaving. However, much to Kong's confusion and eventual amusement, she began to perform all kinds of dancing, gymnastics and juggling skills. However, when she needed rest, Kong simply knocked her down with riotous laughter. Despite this, she soon pushed his finger away, and refused to allow him to push her around anymore. Kong became enraged and hurled rocks and trees off the cliff in a frenzy of anger and confusion before being struck across the neck by a falling rock, which knocked the wind out of him and forced him to calm down. After this he gave Ann one final look before retreating and leaving her alone.

At this time, the rescue party, led by Benjamin Hayes, was crossing a deep chasm on a log. Suspecting something was wrong, Hayes went ahead to a cave on the other side of the chasm. There he heard Kong approaching. Kong charged at the man after he shot at him, and picked him up before throwing him against the far rock wall of the pit beneath them, killing him instantly. He then began shaking the log the other crewmen were crossing through their gunfire. Three sailors, including Choy, fell into the gorge from a great height. To quickly deal with the rest, Kong pushed the log itself into the chasm and ran towards Ann's scream. He came to her aid in time and grabbed her away from a male Vastatosaurus rex. Kong swung down and kicked the bull in the face before grabbing his neck to keep her from getting to Darrow.

Just then, his son wandered out of the jungle swallowing the last of the Foetodon it had slain before seeing Darrow relatively unguarded in the ape's free hand. It ran toward her, and Kong moved her out of the way to allow the beast to bite down on his forearm before using the grip to throw it off balance. The two then backed Kong up to a ledge, from the top of which the matriarch of the group attacked. The four creatures tussled for a bit before Kong smashed the youngest V-rex's head with a rock, killing it before its mother bit Kong's bicep, and he used this as leverage to flip her over his shoulder and off a cliff. Kong kicked her over the edge and bit the neck of the bull before tackling it into the crevice. He tried to hold on to the edge, but the bull's powerful jaws grabbed his ankle and dragged him down where the monsters became entangled in vines.

Kong fought the bull while higher up, the female tried to maneuver itself to bite Ann, but Kong pummeled the beast and killed him as Ann fell on top of the matriarch's head. They fell to the valley floor and it tried to chase her down, but Kong came to defend her. They roared at one another before she charged at him. He bit off the dinosaur's tongue before wrestling her to the ground and climbing on her back. She tried to stand up, but his weight was too great, and he pummeled her head until he could pry its jaws apart, breaking them and crushing her skull. He celebrated his victory with a roar of triumph.

Kong looked at Ann and noticed that she had fallen into a mud patch during his battle with the V-rexes. To Ann's surprise, Kong had just saved her life, and she soon learned that he meant her no harm. He took her to a waterfall and held her under it, cleaning the mud off of her. Ann thanked the big ape for saving her life. As her gift to him, she dove into the water and performed all kinds of swimming strokes to cool off. She even performed some of her own synchronized swimming moves. Kong was very impressed to see Ann swim so gracefully, after which he gently lifted her up out of the water with his hand and used great gusts of his warm breath to dry her. He carried Ann over her shoulder as they left the waterfall and journeyed to his mountain lair.

Kong set her down at the summit and sat on a ledge overlooking the sunset looking forlorn. Ann tried to amuse him with juggling tricks, but with no effect. On noticing the beauty of the sunset, Ann tried to convey the feeling to him with a simple sign of a hand over her heart. Kong then put down his hand and allowed her to fall asleep there. In the night, Jack Driscoll arrived to save Ann, who was very relieved to see him when she woke up. But before he could get her out of Kong's hand, the ape also awoke. In a furious frenzy, he began to attack the man, but was distracted by a swarm of Terapusmordax. Kong slapped and tore at the beasts as they bit at him, but they distracted him long enough for the humans to escape down the cliffside on a vine. Kong found them and began reeling them back in, but they grabbed a Terapusmordax and dropped into the river below. With a roar of anger and hurt, Kong stormed off from his lair and gave chase.

Kong, not knowing he was headed into a trap, chased them all the way back to the village, where he slammed on the gargantuan gate to try to get to Ann, who had passed to the other side. When he finally broke through, he was brought to the ground with grappling hooks before a bottle of chloroform gas was broken under his face, and a net was dropped on him. Still fighting to get to Ann, he was able to break free and run after her and the sailors to the shore via a tunnel. A sailor shot at him from a ledge, and Kong picked him up and bit off his head before throwing him aside and wading into the water, where the sailor Jimmy shot at him again, causing Kong to strike the boat and destroy it. After seeing this, Captain Englehorn fired a harpoon at Kong that struck him in the leg. Carl Denham then struck Kong's face with another chloroform bottle, which finally brought him down. Before losing consciousness, he reached out to Ann before finally closing his eyes. As Denham stood over Kong's unconscious body, he vowed he would bring Kong home as "the Eighth Wonder of the World".

Kong was taken back to New York on board the Venture, and was placed in chrome steel chains and put on display inside the Alhambra Theater on Broadway. He sat dejected in his chains as Denham displayed his purported docility, and allowed the men to tighten his restraints, raising his arms to two poles in the process. Kong then sat as the show imitating the native sacrifices that were put on at his feet, and a blonde woman was offered to Kong. Not being able to see her face, the ape grew hopeful and strained to see Darrow again, only to find another actress playing her role. As photographers shot pictures from offstage, Kong began to get irritated and strain his restraints with his flailing. Roaring in anger, Kong broke his right hand free and picked up the fake Darrow, and threw her into the crowd. He then got his left hand out and jumped out of his leg chains before starting to destroy the theater.

When most other people were gone, Kong saw Driscoll standing on the second-floor balcony, and Kong began to try to climb up to chase him, bringing the second-floor seating down under his immense weight. After breaking out over the theater marquee, Kong began frantically picking up blonde women and throwing them aside when they weren't Ann. Afraid, angry, and confused, Kong began to destroy Times Square before spying Jack driving a taxi and taking off after him, after a short chase through the streets, Kong was eventually able to slam his fist on the cab, disabling it. Before Kong was able to finish the injured Jack off, Kong looked over to see Ann slowly approaching. She put a hand on his shaggy forearm and he picked her up and allowed her to stroke his face. He then slowly carried her down the deserted streets and into Central Park. There, he lost his footing on the ice before enjoying himself by sliding around on its slippery surface.

Sadly, this break of tension would not last, as the army began to fire upon him with heavy artillery. Ready to protect Ann, Kong began his rampage once again, and jumped across rooftops before coming to the Empire State Building. He sat at the base of the mooring mast and held Ann in one hand as the sun began to rise. To signify that he found it beautiful, Kong tapped his hand on his heart repeatedly, mimicking Ann's movement from his lair. Their peace was then interrupted yet again by six biplanes. Kong put Ann down and began to snarl at them before climbing to the top of the tower and sweeping the radio antennae out of his way before beating his chest and roaring as the planes came back for another pass. Bullets tore through his flesh as he swiped at the passing aircraft. Eventually, Ann's screaming showed Kong that she was dangling from a loose ladder hundreds of feet above the ground, and he tried to grab her before she fell. For a moment, Kong let go of his handhold to catch her before climbing back up and giving her a solemn look as he placed her in the observation deck.

A plane began to shoot at him again and he tried to draw its fire and was able to grab a plane and throw it off course into another, causing them both to crash. Ann then climbed up after Kong and stood in front of him, trying to ward off the planes, momentarily causing the fighter pilots to call off the attack after noticing her. With the threat temporarily gone, the injured Kong then took her in his hand as he began to lose his footing. Setting her down, the two shared a tender moment with Ann lovingly placing her hand on his face. The moment was then shattered by the sounds of gunfire as bullets tore through his back, causing Kong to cry out in agony before slumping against the building. Rasping out his dying breaths, Kong's final moment would be shared over a grieving Ann as he used the last of his strength to touch her tear-soaked face with his finger. It was then that Kong succumbed to his wounds, as the light in his eyes was replaced with the coldness of death. Ann could only watch as Kong's bullet-riddled corpse slid from the tower, plummeting to the streets below, with his body hitting the cold pavement floor. Down on street level, Denham pushed through the crowd, proclaiming that "beauty killed the beast".

Kong: Skull Island[]

In 1973, he makes his first proper appearance as Preston Packard and his crew drop seismic bomb charges on the land below to map it. Enraged, Kong attacks the helicopters, swatting them out of the air and killing many of Packard's men, to which Packard swears vengeance against Kong. Following the conflict, Kong reappears at a lake, heavily wounded from the earlier fight. As he washes his wounds and drinks from the lake, a Mire Squid attacks Kong, but he manages to kill the creature by stomping on its head and proceeds to make a meal of the giant cephalopod.

Later, Kong is seen jumping from one mountain to another as he looks over the island. Kong finds a dead Sker Buffalo being eaten by a Skull Crawler near a large underground vent. As he is about to engage the creature, another one ambushes Kong from behind. He kills them by throwing one to the ground, breaking its neck, and stomping the other's head. Some time later, Weaver tries and fails to save a Sker Buffalo trapped under a downed helicopter outside the Iwi village. Kong appears and rescues the buffalo. He encounters Weaver for the first time and looks at her curiously before leaving her be. Later that night, he is seen sitting atop a mountain, somberly watching the aurora.

The following night, Kong sees both Weaver and Conrad on the top of a tall ledge through a blanket of fog and approaches them. While frightened at first, Weaver sees no signs of aggression. She touches his face, and he visibly weeps before retreating. Immediately afterwards, Kong is drawn to a distant explosion, which happens to be a napalm trap set by Packard. Kong is lured in and set on fire by Packard. Several of Packard's men get crushed in Kong's ensuing rampage, but the fire renders Kong unconscious, and Packard then prepares to kill Kong with explosive charges. However, Conrad, Weaver, and Marlow intervene, creating a standoff between them and Packard's men. In the midst of the standoff, the largest of the Skull Crawlers, the Skull Devil, emerges from the swamp. Everybody flees except for Packard, who is crushed by the awakened Kong moments before he can set off the charges. Kong attempts to fight the monster, but the Skull Devil manages to overpower him.

As the morning comes, the Skull Devil turns its attention onto the humans and chases them into a marsh. Kong returns and saves them by smashing a giant boulder against the Skull Devil's head, giving the humans the chance to get to safety. The fight continues with Kong managing to get the upper hand by wielding a tree trunk as a bat at one point. However, the Skull Devil uses his tail to throw Kong into a shipwreck, where he becomes tangled in its chains. As the Skull Devil prepares to deliver the killing blow, the humans distract the giant monster long enough for Kong to free himself.

Using a ship's propeller attached to a chain like a flail, Kong manages to snag and pull the Skull Devil towards him. Kong throws the Skull Devil against the cliff Weaver is standing on, causing her to fall into the water. He fights and seemingly kills the Skull Devil when he slashes the giant reptile's throat with the propeller. However, as Kong rescues Weaver, the Skull Devil springs back to life and attacks. The Skull Devil wraps his tongue around Kong's arm where Weaver is enclosed and pulls it down his throat. Kong violently tears out his opponent's tongue, finally killing his enemy for good.

Kong gently sets Weaver down. As Conrad reunites with Weaver, Kong looks back at them before wandering off. As the humans depart from the island in the rescue helicopters, Kong beats his chest and loudly roars, proclaiming himself the King of Skull Island.

Godzilla vs. Kong[]

In 2024, three years after his battle with Camazotz, Kong wakes up and begins his morning routine. After standing underneath a waterfall, he finds a tree and yanks it out of the ground before shearing its leaves and branches off, fashioning it into a spear. Kong is then greeted by the Iwi orphan Jia, who presents him a doll that she made to resemble him. After checking on Jia, Kong throws the tree into the sky and watches as it shatters biodome Monarch had built to contain him, prompting him to roar in anger.

Later Monarch decides to move Kong, deciding that Skull Island is no longer stable enough to sustain him and allow him to survive. Chaining Kong to a massive barge, Kong, Jia, scientist Ilene Andrews, geologist Nathan Lind, and Apex Cybernetics Executive Maia Simmons depart along with military escorts to take Kong to Hollow Earth where he will be able to thrive. One night an upset Kong pulls on his chains and shackles. Jia arrives and the two touch fingers gently, calming the Titan. As Ilene communicates with Jia through sign language telling her Kong does not understand they are trying to help take him to a new home, Kong shocks everyone and uses sign for "home", revealing that he is capable of communication with humans.

On their way, they are attacked by Godzilla who capsizes the carrier they are on nearly drowning Kong as well as the others inside the carrier. Fortunately Nathan manages to unlock Kong shackles allowing him to fight off Godzilla long enough to swim to the surface and flip the carrier back on its head, saving everyone inside from drowning. Kong then jumps to the next aircraft carrier to challenge Godzilla, who climbs aboard ready to do battle. Kong strikes Godzilla with a blow to the head only for Godzilla to knock him on his back with a swipe of his claws. Godzilla then prepares to fire his atomic breath at Kong but the fighter jets distract Godzilla long enough for Kong to punch and push Godzilla back into the ocean.

Godzilla, however, fires his atomic breath from beneath the ocean at the carrier. Kong realizing this manages to jump off and evade the blast just in time. However, this puts Kong at a disadvantage as Godzilla begins to drown Kong as the ape fights to get air only for Godzilla to drag him back down. Fortunately, before Godzilla can drown him, the military fires depth charges that distract Godzilla enough for Kong to make it to the carrier again and catch his breath. Exhausted and defeated, Kong passes out as Godzilla, convinced that he had won due to the convoy shutting down all of their weaponry, leaves. Realizing that Godzilla will return as soon as they move again, the group decides to airlift Kong with helicopters for the rest of the way. Landing at an outpost in Antarctica that holds the entrance to Hollow Earth, Kong is unwilling to go even with Jia's insistence. Realizing Kong can't survive the cold and that they can't return him to Skull Island, Nathan suggests telling Kong that the rest of his kind could possibly be down there.

With this, Kong charges ahead as Jia, Ilene, Nathan, and Maia follow him in aircrafts made to withstand the gravity of the Hollow Earth. Landing relatively safety Kong leads the group through the terrain where they encounter Warbats. Fortunately, Kong manages to kill the creatures before feasting on them. Continuing their journey, they make their way to a fortress that seemingly was the home of Kong's ancestors as Kong discovers a handprint of one of his kind on the entrance. Inside the fortress, he finds an axe embedded in the corpse of one of Godzilla's species. Picking it up, Kong notices what appears to be a throne and sits on it, establishing and accepting the Hollow Earth as his new home and kingdom. Suddenly, the axe starts to glow and Kong instinctually lies it down on the ground, revealing powerful energy within the fortress. However, when Jia, Ilene, and Nathan find themselves threatened at gunpoint by Maia and her personnel, Kong angrily roars and prepares to defend them when Hellhawks begin to descend from the ceiling of the fortress and a hole is burnt into it by Godzilla sensing the energy spike. As the fortress starts to collapse, Kong notices Maia's aircraft and grabs it and after peeking inside to make sure that Jia wasn't inside, he crushed it when the latter attempts to shoot him to escape, killing her in the process. Kong hears Godzilla's roar, issuing the ape another challenge, which an angered Kong accepts and proceeds to make his way up to the surface of earth with his axe in hand. Arriving in Hong Kong and face to face with Godzilla, the two Titans prepare for their final battle.

Kong picks up his axe and leaps at Godzilla, who dodges the strike. While trying to take his axe out of the building it is stuck in, Godzilla attacks lunges after Kong, biting the simian Titan and rag-dolling him into buildings. Kong wrestles himself free, landing several decisive blows on Godzilla before knocking him back and retrieving his axe. As Godzilla attempts to fire his atomic breath, Kong rams the handle of his axe down the Titan's throat, blocking it. Godzilla knocks Kong back and tries again, but this time Kong uses his axe to not only block the energy, but seemingly absorb it. Godzilla attacks again, knocking Kong down, who in turn slams the axe into Godzilla's thigh, leaving a deep wound. Godzilla removes the axe and throws it away and continues his attack. Separated from his weapon and vulnerable to Godzilla's atomic breath, Kong proceeds to evade the Titan's ranged attacks by using the buildings of Hong Kong and his superior agility to dodge. Using the environment, Kong fashions a makeshift shield to get close enough and retrieve his axe, before, leaping off a building and bringing down the now charged-up axe down on Godzilla's head, knocking the reptilian Titan out and incapacitating him, giving Kong the win of that initial battle.

As Godzilla recovers and gets up, Kong ambushes him from above, using a crane to distract him. Placing Godzilla in a chokehold, Kong proceeds to brutally pummel him from behind. Godzilla manages to clamp his jaws down on Kong's arm, yanking it out of its socket and throwing him off. Now on the defensive, Kong backs away in fear as Godzilla viciously crawls at him on all fours. After brutally clawing and stomping on Kong, Godzilla finally manages to subdue the ape Titan and roars at him in a show of dominance. Kong, defeated, but still unwilling to yield, roars back in defiance. Godzilla, as if impressed by Kong's resilience and prowess, shows mercy and spares him, leaving Kong alive but close to death.

Later, as Godzilla is battling the unleashed Mechagodzilla, Nathan, Ilene, and Jia all come up to Kong's unconscious body. With Kong's heartbeat growing weak, Nathan uses the Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicle to jumpstart Kong's heart, saving him. As Kong awakens, he sees Godzilla being overwhelmed by Mechagodzilla and is convinced by Jia to help the alpha Titan after telling him Godzilla is not the enemy which Kong roared in anger over but puts aside his grudge to help the titan after fixing his dislocated shoulder. As Mechagodzilla prepares to fire a fatal blast to kill Godzilla, Kong intercepts by jumping on top of the Mecha diverting the blast away from Godzilla and saving him. Mechagodzilla knocks Kong off and prepares to blast him fortunately a recovered Godzilla recognizes Kong as an ally and not an enemy and comes to his aid in return. However, Mechagodzilla proves to be stronger then their combined might, easily throwing Kong aside before overpowering Godzilla again. Seeing his axe among the wreckage, Kong retrieves it and lands several blows on Mechagodzilla. However, the axe is ineffective and Mechagodzilla prepares to fatally stab the ape Titan with his tail. However, Godzilla fires his atomic breath at the axe, empowering it and allowing Kong to dismember the mecha before tearing off his head and roaring in triumph.

Exhausted and battered, Kong sits down, but his rest gets interrupted by the roar of Godzilla, who approaches him. Kong retrieves his axe, and prepares to continue the fight, but Godzilla doesn't attack, and merely stares him down. Understanding that the true enemy has been defeated, Kong drops the axe, signaling an end to the feud between his kind and Godzilla's. The two then briefly regard each other as equals and allies before Godzilla returns to the ocean.

After having parted with Godzilla on good terms, Kong withdraws to the Hollow Earth and embracing it as his new home and kingdom, thus earning his happy ending, as Monarch continues to monitor him.

Trivia[]

• The scene where King Kong fights the planes on top of the Empire State Building was so popular that it spawned several references, parodies, and homages.
