Kong: Skull Island – "Paranoid" helicopter scene

Kong: Skull Island is not a bad movie, but neither is it an outstanding production. It's more of an average attempt (although I've always considered it just one of the "nice movies"). Nevertheless, the fans did not really love this production (as evidenced by the ratings). Rather, everyone was expecting something that would prove to be a better reinterpretation of the 1933 classic than the one Peter Jackson delivered in 2005! And although it worked visually, the story – for most of the screening – simply the flair.

So what scene makes up for all that disappointment? It's the electrifying moment when military personnel fly into King Kong Island to the accompaniment of Paranoid by Black Sabbath. The viewer gets three minutes of stylish cinema: slow-mo, explosions, finesse and some humor. American forces bombard a tropical forest from helicopters.

Nature never forgets though, and their playfulness ends ever so quickly. At some point, one of the helicopters is pierced by a tree trunk. And so King Kong announces it's arrival. Come on, you overgrown monke, there's Huey choppers to down.
