32. KING KONG (1933 dan 2005)sumber: http://koleksigambarunik.blogspot.com/2010/12/film-asing-membawa-unsur-indonesia-part_15.html
Dibintangi oleh Adrien Brody, Naomi Watts, dan Jack Black, Indonesia digambarkan sebagai suatu negeri antah berantah yang primitif dan terbelakang, yang jauh berada nun jauh di sana, yang dihuni oleh binatang langka berjuluk King Kong dan penduduk pribumi yang sangat barbar, di Pulau Tengkorak (Skull Island), yang dikisahkan di sebelah barat Sumatera. Kapalnya juga bernama “Soerabaja”, tertulis di buritan kapal. Sedangkan syuting mengenai pulau itu dibuat di wilayah Thailand Selatan dan di Lyall Bay, Wellington. Padahal kalo melihat peta yang tercantum di film King Kong itu, Pulau Tengkorak itu tak lain adalah Pulau Nias.
Skull Island
Pulau Nias
apakah itu benar?
berikut penjelasan dari Wikipedia tentang letak Skull Island
Appearance in the 1933 film
In King Kong, Skull Island is located at approximately 12°S 78°E — somewhere off the coast of Sumatra. There is a distinctive rocky knoll in the center of the island which is shaped like a human skull, hence its foreboding name.
At first, it is thought of as deserted, but upon further examination by the protagonists of the picture, it is filled to the brim with superstitious natives, prehistoric creatures of all sorts, and one extremely large gorilla, known by those on the island as "Kong"[citation needed].
The ancestry of the natives is never really explained, although the setting suggests they are a South East Asian group. Their barbaric portrayal in the film has provoked complaints and controversy ever since the movie's release[citation needed]. In the sequel film, Son of Kong, we last see Skull Island as it sinks into the sea during a powerful earthquake. Kong's son drowns while holding Carl Denham above the water. Denham survives unscathed.
Skull Island is never referred to by name on film. In the original film, only Skull Mountain is named, while in the sequel Son of Kong, its simply referred to as "Kong's Island". In the novelization of King Kong by Delos Lovelace, it's called Skull Mountain Island. But RKO referred to it as Skull Island in their publicity materials.
Kong: King of Skull Island, a 2004 sequel-novel which ignores Son of Kong, makes an attempt to reveal the history of Skull Island before the events of the 1933 film's story.
dan berikut penjelasan dari Wikipedia tentang letak Pulau Nias

jadi kesimpulannya adalah Skull Island bukanlah Pulau Nias
sebab koordinat Skull Island dikatakan 12°S 78°E yang berarti terletak disini
sementara koordinat Pulau nias adalah 1°6?N 97°32?E dan letaknya seperti yang sudah kita ketahui berada disini
