    Flight Dynamics in the New Kong film are wrong. The First plane he smashes appears to spin the wrong way on its was down. The remaining wing still should be generating lift so the rotation should be in the opposite direction. The same fault is true with The second Plane he destroys (The one he throws NOT the one it hits (which spins in correctly)) As for the one he throws i’m sure that the sideward forces on the struts that get grabbed would have broken them long before the plane is released.
    Sorry for me NOT the best ever sequence.

    Another useless fact i belive that in the origional an official $100 donation was made to the Navy for the lending of the planes, the $10 to the pilots was done ‘unoffically’
