I just finished watching deleted scenes from Jacksons King Kong where Jack Black makes a statement that helps explain the cheesy ending in Son of Kong. Yes, this movie can be accused of coming across as hokey, lacked O'Brien's animation touch, was much too short, took too long to get to the adventure etc., and then, as others have pointed out, out of the blue, hurricane and flooding come and end the island and the movie leaving us all with an ache in the tummy area because let's face it, King Kong the original spoiled us all. So why the quick, in a hurry, to the Son of Kong? Besides low budget and needing to get this out for 1933 Xmas, in the Jacksons deleted scene, Jack Black states: We must get to the island as it is sinking and then we will have nothing. So, I hope that helps explain the quick ending in this movie and gives some closure relief to Kong aficionados.
