Unfortunately, no.
It is a 12 minute static shot of Kong's 'lipstick' out, in all it's glory. The last minute is a shot of Pete Jackson licking it.
/well, that's what I heard.

that about sums it up perfectly for me. i enjoyed the film, but c'mon... it's a GIANT MONKEY MOVIE!!!! it doesn't need to be 3 hours long! the LOTR movies were dense, with lots of characters and subplots, and they were truly epic in scale... those films earned their 3+ hour running times. Kong? not so much.

The one thing I can say about King Kong (2005), that I can't say about any other film in the last 15 years or so, is that it thrilled me in a way that I haven't felt since I was just a kid watching Star Wars or Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. It took me on a thrill ride, I guess you could say. It truly felt epic to me.
