In speaking about how Kong would behave in a city, Barbara King is quoted: "I think he [Kong] probably would completely freak out and become aggressive," she says. "Any animal would go on the offensive and try to escape."

In the movie, he beats off a Tyrannosaurus Rex that tries to snack on Darrow.

That's not my recollection, at all.

I think Dave Letterman said it best- "Any time you put a big monkey in a box and bring it to New York City- there's gonna be trouble."
