Parents guide

A man and a woman kiss.

Nipples are seen through the main character's shirt and dress.

Indeginous islanders are shown in minimalistic clothing.

A woman wears a low-cut nightgown and runs around in her bare feet throughout most of the movie. The nightgown becomes wet and clings tightly to her body in a few scenes; also, a woman wears a low-cut and form-fitting dress that reveals cleavage.

Male native islanders are bare-chested with loincloth type bottoms (bare chests are revealed along with a part of the bare buttock); female islanders are shown in tiny tops and bottoms that reveal part of their bare buttocks.

There is a conversation between filmmakers about whether or not a movie will have "boobies".

Many people charge out of caves and attack other people: they push one man's head against a large rock and pound on it with a heavy club (we hear a thud), and another man is held down on the rock, the club is raised and then the person with the club is shot (he falls back and we see him with blood in his mouth).

Some people are shown in a pool of blood.

A man is stabbed through the back with a spear (we see the bloody point of the spear protruding through his chest and he falls to the ground with blood on his chest and mouth).

Many very large flying insects and beetles attack several men: one man stands in shallow water, slimy creatures come to the surface, they sprout long tubes with teeth at the end, they try to attach themselves to the man and eventually do (one tube begins to "swallow" his head and we hear him scream, another swallows his arm and another swallows his leg); another man is attacked by flying insects, he swats at them, and another man shoots at the bugs. This scene can be extremely disturbing to people with Insectophobia.

A man climbs up a wall and is grabbed by something inside a hole in the wall.

A carnivorous dinosaur snaps at the foot of a man who's trying to climb up a rock wall, the dinosaur grabs the man's foot and pulls him down (we hear the man scream and we hear crunching).

A woman is chased by a snapping T-Rex, she runs and falls near a ledge where she lies still and the dinosaur leaves; another T-Rex raises its head next to her and snaps at her several times, and she runs.

A woman running through a jungle comes upon a dinosaur devouring a dead dinosaur, she turns to run and comes face-to-face with yet another dinosaur that chases her; she hides in a cave and hears a crunch as a larger dinosaur eats the one that was chasing her.

Herbivorous dinosaurs stampede toward three men, and they are chased by carnivorous dinosaurs; the men run, they are nearly trampled several times, other men begin to run and we see two of them being stepped on, while the carnivorous dinosaurs try to snap at the men as they run. We see one carnivorous dinosaur biting the neck of another dinosaur, a man shoots a few of the carnivorous dinosaurs, one of them is trampled, a dinosaur and a man are pushed over a cliff, a large dinosaur is shot and tumbles down a steep incline, and many others fall and pile on top of it.

A man goes to a cave entrance, he shoots a gun inside, a large ape charges toward him, picks him up and squeezes him (we hear crunching), and then throws him against a wall killing him (we see the man fall to the ground, very far below).

There are at least a dozen exclamations of "Jesus" and/or "Christ".

A man drinks alcohol in several scenes, and a man drinks alcohol from a flask.

A woman smokes a cigarette, two men smoke cigarettes, one man smokes cigarettes throughout the movie, and a man smokes a pipe.

A man discovers several jars of chloroform.

Carl throws a few bottles of chloroform at Kong, causing the latter to pass out.

The first hour or so nothing frightening or violent happens. Once they crash on the island and meet the inhabitants it rarely lets up for the rest of the movie.

Although Kong is portrayed as an anti hero/misunderstood creature, he can still be very intimidating at times.

The tribal witches are scary to look at and hear talk. Their voices are very raspy.

The sight of Kong is very 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., though Kong is portrayed to look more like an animal than a monster.

The insect chasm scene is very intense.

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.

The scene where Kong is captured on Skull Island is emotionally intense.
