You know, except for being fifty feet tall

Kong Is Based On Real Apes

For that matter, why would a 50-foot-tall ape move like a normal sized gorilla? But then you get into the whole question of how a 50-foot-ape could move at all, or do anything but eat constantly, or even breathe, so I shouldn't go there.

I remember seeing one of the DVD extras on the Planet of the Apes remake; which showed all the effort the actors put into moving and acting like gorillas or chimps, when, you know, they were starring in a film called Planet of the Apes.

If God willed it then it would be so...

Feh. Don't inject logic into fantasy and science fiction. That way lies madness.

I try not to, unless they go too far with it. But I do wonder why a 50-foot ape would move like a six-foot ape.
