In Kong: Skull Island, King Kong used tree trunks and chains to vanquish foes like the Skullcrawlers, and as Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard noted last year, the Titan’s ability to use tools, paired with his intelligence, speed and agility, could give him an edge in the fight against Godzilla.
Even if you’ve never seen King Kong vs. Godzilla and don’t know that this Godzilla vs. Kong moment is an homage, it’s still a noteworthy example of King Kong’s fighting style.
