Empire State Building

King Kong grabbed Ann Darrow and took her to the top of the Empire State Building to observe the dawning day, repeating the sign for "beautiful" Ann had used in his lair, causing a shocked Ann to realize his intelligence. Before Ann was able to attempt further communication, six Curtiss Helldiver biplanes appeared and opened fire on Kong. Kong made his last stand against the planes, downing three of them, only to be hit by several bursts of gunfire from the surviving planes. He gazed at a distraught Ann one last time before falling off the building to his death.
