10 Best Moments In Kong: Skull Island

6. The Graveyard Fight

The movie's biggest set-piece takes place in the so-called Forbidden Zone, where the giant skeletal remains of Kong's ancestors and various Skullcrawlers litter the ground.

Marlow (John C. Reilly) leads Conrad (Tom Hiddleston), Weaver (Brie Larson), Randa and some soldiers there, but before long Randa ends up eaten by a Skullcrawler, leading to a preposterous sequence where Randa's camera continues to flash within the stomach of the creature as it darts around the foggy expanse.

Some other highlights in this sequence include Marlow slicing a monster in half with a samurai sword, and Conrad using the same sword to fight his way through green toxic gas while wearing a gas mask.

This set-piece is basically the movie at its silly, crazy best.
