*In the extended edition, ferocious Piranhadon emerges from the depths. It attacks a raft, smashing it on the banks. It also devours 3 men, which young children may find disturbing.

*In the extended edition, the group encounter a monstrous Ceratopsian creature. They shoot it, which angers it even more. Eventually they manage to kill it, where it ferociously exhibits it's death throes.

*In the extended edition, there is more violence in New York. King Kong tramples an army van, killing many soldiers. There is also more footage of Kong rampaging the streets, chasing Jack's cab angrily, etc.

*In the extended edition, the group hears sounds behind the bushes. A man shoots through the bushes, killing it. but upon discovery, it ends up being a Moa bird, which is bleeding to death. It appears to be having a very slow and suffering death, and is squawking in pain.

At least 4 slang terms for breasts ("boobies," "jigglies" and "bazooms"), 3 hells, 2 craps, 1 incomplete ass, 2 damns, 5 uses of "God-amn" 4 of "Christ," 2 each of "For God's sakes," "Jesus" and "Oh God" and 1 use each of "For Christ's sakes," "God," "Good Christ," "Holy Christ," "Jesus," "Jesus Christ," "Mother of God" and "Oh Christ."

If you look carefully enough at the old Sharwoman in the Native Scene, she has her middle fingers up while she yells curses in her native tongue (it is unknown what she actually says). You have to look really closely to notice this, as I have seen this movie about 10 times and I just discovered it yesterday.

The cook, captain and Carl (pipe, although twice it's unlit) each smoke several times, while Baxter smokes in character while shooting the movie and a bunch of minor and background characters smoke in many scenes.

-The sight of Kong looking mad/furious/menacing, various dangerous looking and menacing dinosaurs, the natives (with sharp yellow teeth, small wood sticks stuck through their faces, some with milky eyes, others with their eyes rolled back in their heads), etc. may be unsettling, suspenseful or downright scary to younger kids.

-The insect chasm scene is also very disturbing.

-There are some scary scenes including one where a woman believes she is going to die upon finding bones wearing the same tribal costumes as her.

-There are many rocks with sinister-looking faces on them, there are many skulls, mummies and dead fish with their eyes poked out and maggots weaving through them in the scene at the "deserted" Native Village and on the Skull Island shoreline. The way it is shot and the sounds used in these scenes can be extremely distressing for young children.

-Almost every chase scene last 15+minutes and can be very graphic.
