World Trade Center

The World Trade Centre is a business plaza in central New York. It was destroyed in the Terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, but is currently being rebuilt. The World Trade Centre has appeared in several films, all before its destruction in 2001.

King Kong (1976 film)
In the final scene of the film, King Kong travels towards the World Trade Centre, as its two towers resemble a rock formation on Skull Island. He scales the South Tower (WTC 2), but is repelled by soldiers on the roof carrying flamethrowers. He leaps between the South and North Tower, landing on the North Tower's roof. After ripping up and throwing pieces of the radio equipment at the soldiers, he throws a tank of flammable material at them, killing the men in a small explosion. A group of military Helicopters intercept the Giant Ape, and King Kong fights them, destroying two of the helicopters. Unfortunately, the mounted machine guns are too much for the primate to handle, and he dies from his wounds, falling off the tower and crushing the fountain at ground level.

Trivia
In the early 1970s, many film posters featured the World Trade Centre due to its status as a new and defining building. This included various films such as Godzilla vs. Megalon, even though the characters never go to America, let alone the World Trade Centre itself.
