The replica Curtiss Helldiver biplane used by Peter Jackson's Big Primate Productions is impressive sight even without its wings attached. The 1930s plane was purpose-built for Jackson's blockbuster, where it appears at the end of film doing battle against the greatest movie ape of them all. The biplane was fully kitted out with machine guns and given realistic wear and tear to give it the appearance of the genuine article. http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1137511337 King Kong hits $US200m mark LOS ANGELES: New Zealand director Peter Jackson's King Kong passed the $US200 million ($NZ289 million) mark in North American takings at the weekend as it fell four places to No7 at the box office.

Using recycled washing machine parts, dag crushers, roller blades, vacuums and scrap steel, PolyPalace owner Richard Moore built a waste polystyrene recycling plant beside Trash Palace at Porirua landfill about two years ago. In the three months before Christmas, a record 500 cubic metres of waste polystyrene was taken in ? most coming from props used in King Kong ? and has been converted into "pod" flooring blocks and wooden floor insulation. Recycled polystyrene from the plant is being used by Aspec Construction Wellington to build a raised walkway at the Cook Strait ferry terminal wharf, for Kaitaki passengers. http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1137776338 -------------------------------------------------------- Searching Skull Island (Breakdown of our various sections) -------------------------------------------------------- Coming Soon: February 2nd: Kong Chat KONG 2005 - This section is specifically dedicated to Peter Jackson's remake.
