The end of the film sees Kong embark on a battle with the alpha Skull Crawler (allegedly proclaimed to be considerably bigger than him, when actually it absolutely isn't), and there's a call-back in there to one of the most compelling shots from the entire franchise.

The fight goes on around a couple of sunken ships, and as they battle, Kong gets caught up in one of the ship's anchor chains, and for a moment his hands are shackled up by his shoulders in the classic Kong Captured look from the '33 original and its remakes.
