** In the ''Film/KongSkullIsland'' Honest Trailer, the film's director, Jordan Vogt-Roberts, goes off on a rant about complaints that the movie has too many helicopters in it.

'''Vogt-Roberts:''' Look, everybody thinks that there's some issue where there's more helicopters in the sky than there are on the boat and then Kong takes down an infinite amount of them. Guess what? You're wrong. In the shot in the movie, when the camera goes arond the boat, you see the back of the boat. And guess what's in the back of the boat? ''[knocks down a King Kong figurine]'' Fucking helicopters! What's inside of the boat? ''More'' helicopters! What's the boat fucking made out of? Fucking helicopters! You know why? ''[picks up a King Kong Toys/FunkoPop figurine]'' Cause you want to see Kong, like the toy has, ''grabbing a fucking helicopter''! You want to pay $15 ''not'' to see him fucking use the helicopter like a fucking baseball bat?! The helicopter math made fucking sense!
