Unit shot...guy kneeling at left has Spec 6 stripes...some have a SSI, but I am no good with identifying them. Maybe someone else can ID it or determine if it is a "Hollywood" SSI. Mix of "bird cage" and "three prong" flashhiders on the '16s...
A friend of mine worked in the Vietnamese sets crew. He showed me lots of photos that I cannot share. It looks like there will be some interesting "Frankenstein" vehicles assembled from various military vehicles, indicating that the movie should not be taken too seriously.
I have heard that the shooting was marred by embezzlement from the Vietnamese production company (they basically stole most of the money that was supposed to pay the Vietnamese workers wages). Filming in Vietnam still is a quite complicated undertaking.
From what I have seen, historical accuracy does not seem to be the main concern for this movie (this is a King Kong movie after all!). But X-Men: Days of Future Past has shown us that it was also possible to be quite accurate, even in a fantasy environment (although the movie portrayed the end of the 1973 peace talks as an American defeat, whereas Hanoi had been basically reduced to ashes and the North Vietnamese were begging for a settlement; but that's another story).

You gotta go along for the ride and try not to ask yourself too many hard questions in your search for operational or logistical or tactical 'logic'. (truly, where DID all those helicopters come from?)
I saw the movie yesterday. Although the art direction is great, in my opinion it is very poorly written. The characters are all stereotypes, it is hard to relate to any of them. If I had been able to open my skull and place my brain on the seat next to me, I would probably have enjoyed it better.
My biggest problem is the 6 helicopters which become 12 after taking off, and 2 more showing up later. Also, at one point there are very few men left, on foot, with light weapons. And all of a sudden they are able to set up a .50 machine gun, and we see a flamethrower operator appearing out of nowhere.
A surplus place wouldn't have had it, and I guess he'd have been considered still in the USAF until they could have mustered him out. He would have been either in civilian clothes or a USAF uniform with likely an elevated rank for his time on the island.
I just rented it the other night, I was thinking the same thing, where did he get a Ww2 uniform? And to top it off it had a 15th a/f patch, they didn't fight on the PTO. But that's Hollywood. But it kept me entertained.
Promotes teamwork and empathy, even for seemingly violent creatures. By listening and considering one another's positions, instead of jumping to conclusions, people can work together to achieve great things. Examines the idea of sacrificing yourself for the greater good.
Mason is courageous and one of the first to empathize with Kong. Conrad starts off working for the money but realizes there's more at stake than just cash. Kong at first seems like a bloodthirsty killer, but he's revealed to be an ardent protector of his home and those in it. Randa has good intentions, but he lies and keeps things secret, which only makes things worse. Packard cares about his soldiers, but he becomes more interested in vengeance than saving their lives. Marlow is kind, empathetic, and generous with his knowledge about the island.
As a confident and talented photographer working in what was a male-dominated field at the time, Mason subverts the "scream queen" stereotype created by the original King Kong's Ann Darrow character. While the rest of the cast is somewhat diverse, the action skews toward the White characters. Notable exceptions are Lt. Col. Packard (Samuel L. Jackson), though he becomes a villain, Yale-educated geologist Houston Brooks (Corey Hawkins), and Army officer Glenn Mills (Jason Mitchell), though he often feels more like the stereotypical "Black best friend" to Shea Wigham's character. A female Chinese scientist has almost no lines and no function in the movie beyond potential love interest. The heavily tattooed Iwi people (a fictional tribe) who live on Skull Island are treated respectfully by the other characters, but they don't speak and rarely smile. They move together as one unit, with little differentiation between tribe members. Director and screenwriters are all White men.
The violence is graphic and brutal, and the body count is incredibly high. Kong rips apart and causes several helicopters to crash into each other and into a river, instantly killing soldiers and civilians. He stomps on people, casually throws them, eats them, and dismembers them. Other giant deadly creatures include featherless birds, a spider, and a squid, as well as Kong's main rivals: giant, slithering, reptilian skull creatures that devour humans and spit out their bones. There are bloody battles and jump-worthy moments. A couple of characters sacrifice themselves to buy their friends a little more time to escape. One character nearly drowns.
A couple of brief scenes set in Southeast Asia bars/brothels imply sex work. Women in bikinis and lingerie dance provocatively or grab soldiers by the hand. Couples flirt, touch each other protectively, embrace, and touch foreheads.
Adults drink in a seedy bar. A character mentions missing having a beer. A soldier smokes a cigarette; after he discards it, the embers cause an explosion. A credits scene reveals a character having a long-awaited bottle of American beer.
Parents need to know that Kong: Skull Island is a very violent, action-packed reboot of the King Kong story. Set in the 1970s, the movie follows a group of scientists on a mission to survey a mysterious island in Southeast Asia. That's where they encounter several dangerous giant creatures, including an ape trying to protect his habitat (there are also giant birds, bugs, a squid, and reptilian skull creatures). Things get pretty brutal, with victims being dismembered, stomped on, eaten, and tossed around; helicopters also crash and are ripped apart. You can expect a high body count, with scene after scene of jump-worthy action, death, and gore. The language can also be strong, with one use of "f--k," plus several uses of "s--t," "ass," "bitch," etc. There's also some social drinking and smoking, but sex is limited to embraces and very brief implied sex work in a couple of scenes set in Vietnam and Thailand. Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, and Oscar winner Brie Larson co-star, accompanied by a somewhat diverse supporting cast; themes include empathy, teamwork, and courage.

KONG: SKULL ISLAND is set in 1973, toward the end of America's involvement in the Vietnam War. A mysterious, well-connected group of scientists, led by Bill Randa (John Goodman) and geologist Houston Brooks (Corey Hawkins), joins forces with a map-surveying mission to visit an uncharted island in Southeast Asia. They're accompanied by a military escort, courtesy of Lt. Col. Preston Packard (Samuel L. Jackson) and his intrepid helicopter brigade. Shady British tracker James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) and war photographer Mason Weaver (Brie Larson) are along for the ride, as are soldiers, surveyors, and geologists, like Victor Nieves (John Ortiz), who have no idea what they're in for when the island turns out to be home to all sorts of giant, flesh-eating creatures. And a humongous ape, aka Kong, is at the top of the food chain. When the helicopters arrive and start dropping bombs, Kong takes them out, killing much of the expedition and stranding the rest of them. Soon the crew is divided, with Packard set on getting vengeance, while Conrad and Weaver bump into Marlow (John C. Reilly), an American pilot who's been surviving among the island's native people since World War II. Marlow explains that Kong is the king and guardian of the island and that it's the slithering underground creatures that are the real danger.
Part reboot, part homage to Vietnam War movies, this is the goriest and least approachable outing for Hollywood's favorite ape to date. But Kong: Skull Island does have enough memorable creature battle scenes to make for a fun, if jumpy, moviegoing experience. Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts and the screenwriters give Kong a case of Coppola fever. From Jackson's bloodthirsty "love the smell of napalm in the morning" need for vengeance to the fact that a character is named Conrad (Apocalypse Now, one of Vogt-Roberts' inspirations for this movie, was based on Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad) to the aviator sunglasses and slow-motion shots of helicopter rotor blades, it's all there. Except instead of Marlon Brando's Col. Kurtz living among an Indigenous community, it's Reilly's goofy Capt. Marlow (also a Heart of Darkness name), who's been stranded there. Reilly adds much-needed levity to the intensity of the big-budget fight sequences, which are well executed, if gruesome.
The actors are all talented, though Hiddleston seems like a slightly odd choice for his role. Yes, he plays Loki, but his name isn't exactly synonymous with action flicks, and there are times he seems too posh to be believable as a shady tracker battling serious demons. Among the supporting cast, Toby Kebbell's terrible Southern accent is somewhat distracting. But Shea Whigham and Jason Mitchell stand out as opposites-attract soldiers Cole and Mills, who have each other's backs. With so many more human characters, it's unsurprising that Kong himself is less "human" and more awesome, godly beast. For high-stakes, jump-out-of-your-seat popcorn fare, this will do the trick, but don't expect to feel quite as much for Kong as you might have in previous versions of the story.
