[edit]

glass of empire state building observation deck

[edit]

how much number of glass panes survived in the movie king kong 2005? The biplanes are tried hard to kill king kong at the spire of empire state buidling but sadly they indirectly struck glass panes at the observation deck several times resulting in them either lost or damaged i think the number of survivor of the glass panes are either 2 3 or even 5 to 10. please correct me if i am wrong. 2404:8000:1027:85F6:8436:BBAC:942B:3011 (talk) 04:02, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't filmed at the actual Empire State Building. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots05:06, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Baseball Bugs: I said how much glass window pane in the empire state building survived due to the biplane attack? 2404:8000:1027:85F6:54DD:D6CD:9211:4E62 (talk) 06:18, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

King Kong is fictional. All the information is contained within the film. If the film doesn't answer your question, it has no answer. Shantavira|feed me 08:22, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, there are three "observation deck" levels. There is the main deck that used to be the gift shop, but is now the bathroom level. There is the upper observation deck. Then, there is the private observation deck. Are you asking only about the main deck or two of them or all three of them? Once that is known, it is necessary to watch the movie and try to count how many windows are broken. 12.116.29.106 (talk) 14:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The YouTube clip is here - it looks like all of them. I wonder where all the falling bullets ended up? Alansplodge (talk) 17:45, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
They may have been sold off-screen as souvenirs. I wonder if the broken window panes were covered by insurance. BTW, is it known what happened to the body of King Kong after his death? Was it buried? Was it preserved by taxidermy or otherwise? We may need one or several sequels to the documentary, which ends rather abruptly, to find the answers to such questions.  --Lambiam 12:45, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The skeleton was sold for £121,250 ($200,305). Clarityfiend (talk) 00:07, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
