What is the appeal of 'pulp' fiction

They'd use attack helicopters in real life (although that's awfully high in an awfully windy area for helicopters of any sort), which would be plenty dramatic, I think.

I doubt it. The helo's would stay at a safe distances and shoot Hellfires at Kong until he dropped. Of course the filmakers could have the choppers go in melee range and try to slice Kong with their rotors which would be pretty dramatic but I think we're all very thankful that Micheal Bay didn't direct the movie.

Yeah, I'm thinking Kong wouldn't fare too well against Hellfire missiles and rounds from a 30mm chain gun.

I was wondering, why exactly did Jackson choose to set the film in the 1930's era. There's nothing explicit about the story that requires that time setting.

Well, for one thing he like the original film version more than the 1970's version. In fact, it was that movie that inspired him to become a filmmaker. I guess he want to recreate that using the most latest special effect technology.

And to be honest with you, it's the best time setting. You have colonists and adventurers exploring India and Africa. [Mad] Scientists making rampant use of electricity for their machines. War is brewing thanks to availability of firearms.
