[country music playing on radio]
[man] Best I could remember it.
That's not how this works.
How do we know it's real?
Well, that's not really my problem.
If you want the money, make it your problem.
[sighs]
End of the war, our ship got sent out on a classified mission to this island.
Dozen choppers left. None came back.
I had buddies on those choppers.
Never saw 'em again.
A few days later, we picked up a few survivors on an old boat.
The stories they told...
Well, word from the top came down, and all the charts were burned.
I have a great memory though.
Well, had.
That was 20 years ago.
What's on this island?
[man] Unnatural things.
You go to that island, you ain't coming back.
You know what they call that place?
Skull Island.
[sinister music playing]
[door opens]
[door closes]
- [Mike in Japanese] You think he's lying? - About the island?
Or the name?
Both? Neither?
Do you think it's what she's looking for?
If it is, you might have just saved us.
[wincing]
[groans]
[in English] Mike?
I'm all right, Charlie.
- Mike... - I said I'm all right.
No one's all right, man.
Is it just us?
[sighs] I don't know.
We need to head inland, get some wood and start a fire.
- Hope someone spots... - [sinister music playing]
[creature hissing]
Look out!
[Charlie yelps]
Ahh! Ahh! What is that?
- [Mike yelps] - Mike!
[creature hissing]
- Ahh! - [Mike grunting]
[sinister music continues]
[grunting]
[dramatic music playing]
- [hissing fades] - [both panting]
Mike...
Where are we?
[mysterious music playing]
[groans]
[sighs]
[yelps]
[exclaims]
Huh.
[yelling] Charlie?
Charlie?
[sighs]
Where are you, kid?
[intriguing music playing]
Oh...
Hmm.
[rock skitters]
Hmm.
[rock rippling]
[creature chittering]
- [exclaims] - [menacing music playing]
- [bullets ricocheting] - [creature shrieks]
[Cap yelps]
- [mercenary] No, no, no! No! - [loud thud]
[exclaims]
- [exclaims] - [woman] That...
That rock just ate that man.
Hey, wait!
Aw, jeez.
How's your leg?
[Mike chuckles]
Just assume every answer to every question right now is gonna be "bad."
Well, you smell good, at least.
- Really? [chuckles] - No! No, it's bad, really bad.
Ugh.
You were right. We gotta get a signal going.
- [sighs heavily] - What?
I just love when you say you were wrong and that I was right.
Well, I never said I was wrong.
Really? Because you said we should stay here and be eaten by the crabs
instead of going to the trees, getting wood, and starting a fire.
- I, uh, don't recall saying that. - You did. And it was very whiny, too.
I'm surprised you could hear me in the crab tunnel I saved you from.
I could hear everything. I have incredible hearing.
[mockingly] Yeah! You have incredible, uh...
Stuff. I dunno, I lost steam.
You're reckless! We're gonna get eaten, so...
- Ready? - [sighs]
[dejected] Sure.
To the trees, on three. One...
- [chittering] - Ahh!
[menacing music playing]
[both exhale heavily]
That rock yelled at you.
Yeah, it did.
This is the worst beach ever.
[intriguing music playing]
[panting]
[woman] So, sea monster?
Sea monster.
Was that one of those giant squids?
No, that was... something else.
Oh, that makes me feel worse.
- Why? - I don't know.
Maybe I just like my monsters to have names.
[grunts]
See, the naming part is what gets me excited.
I'm Cap.
Irene. Are you a captain?
I'm shipwrecked.
[both laughing nervously]
- [Cap sighs] - Aren't we all?
[mysterious music playing]
Did you start that?
No.
[sighs] But at least it means we're not alone.
Who was with you?
I'm looking for my son and his friend.
I, uh...
I don't think anyone else made it off my ship.
What about you?
We were on a cruise to Singapore.
With soldiers?
[nervously] Excuse me?
The guy with the gun?
I don't know.
Maybe they had guns because of, um... pirates?
[chuckling]
Bet you wish you flew.
Well, Cap, I am afraid of planes.
Well, I hear boats are a lot safer.
[laughs] I have heard that too.
[gasps]
- [Irene] Do you know what that is? - [sputters] Uh...
It almost looks like... aloe?
[Irene] But you get what's wrong with it, don't you?
- It's a lot bigger than aloe. - [rustling]
[creature grunts]
[sputtering] What is that?
It's... beautiful.
I really thought it was aloe.
It is.
It's both.
Something else is happening on this island.
So, what you're saying is...
[Charlie] This island is terrible.
I mean, have you ever even heard of giant crabs with trap doors?
[Mike] Crabs? No.
Spiders? Yeah.
Ugh. Spiders would actually be way worse.
That's so true.
[exhales] And I'm so tired.
[Charlie grunts] I know.
My dad would know what to do.
He'd probably just want to pet them.
[chuckling]
Our weird dads.
[wistful music playing]
- [clears throat] - [grunts]
Let's find yours.
[chuckles]
- [rumbling] - [yelps]
[both yelp]
- [tense music playing] - Charlie!
[grunts]
- [spear thuds] - [crab hissing]
- [Charlie] Annie! - [laughing]
[crab hissing]
[Charlie] Phew!
Grab it! We can eat it!
[hissing]
I'm not touching that.
- [Annie] Why not? - It's a giant crab that wants to eat me!
- There's tons of 'em! We're stuck here. - [Charlie] Where...
- Where'd you get a spear? - I found it! It's nice.
- [Charlie] You just found it? - I'll look for more!
[sputters] Hey, Annie! Annie!
Man, I don't know about that girl.
- You don't like any girls. - Man, you like every girl.
[sighs] That's true.
Wait.
There are other people here.
Like people that make spears and conveniently leave them in the jungle.
[Mike] They probably got eaten too.
I don't want to get eaten by crabs, I want to eat crabs!
[Annie] Hey!
I didn't find more, but I still have this, so I'm gonna fight 'em now.
What? Wait, wait, wait! You're gonna what?
[dramatic music playing]
- [dramatic music continues] - [crabs hissing loudly]
[both yelping]
[grunts and laughs]
[Charlie shrieking]
[straining]
- [dramatic music continues] - Mike!
- Catch! - [Annie] Hey!
- [yelling] - [crab chitters]
Mike! Come on, Mike!
[beast roaring loudly]
What...
What could possibly be so big to be that loud?
Something...
new.
[laughs softly]
[Annie] That's mine.
It's not nice to steal.
All right, that's from our ship, but, wait, hold on.
What? What was that noise?
I don't know. Must have been a really big dog.
Wait, how... how do you not know?
Why would I know?
- [Charlie] Uh, this is your home, right? - This isn't my home.
What? What are you talking about? You said you lived on an island.
I do.
But we're on an island.
- There's more than one island, Charles. - Uh, Charlie.
- [Annie] Isn't that the same thing? - What?
Uh, no. Yeah, it's a nickname, but I prefer Charlie.
Oh.
I prefer not being stolen from.
Wait! Wait! If you don't live here, then who made that spear that you threw?
[grunts] Someone else?
Ugh! Where are we?
[Mike] Skull Island.
We're on Skull Island.
We're on...
Uh, what?
It's all my fault.
We were trying to get the money, I heard people talk about this guy.
Whoa, hey, it's okay. Slow down.
[angrily] This old GI who had a stupid map.
And maybe it was what she was looking for and...
God! So stupid! He even told us we'd die!
- What's he doing to his hair? - Not now, Annie.
Mike? Hey, Mike, breathe.
And now look at us! He was right! We're gonna die!
And it's my fault. I got my dad killed, and now I'm gonna get us killed.
- I'm so sorry. - [leaves rustling]
Uh, Annie?
- [rustling continues] - [exclaims]
- [rifles cock] - [dramatic note plays]
And now there's guns!
I don't think that was the rocks.
[Cap] No, it definitely wasn't the rocks.
- Do you think it was the sea creature? - No, that came from inland.
Oh, great, more monsters. So, um, so what do we do now?
Well, I guess we hope they're better shots than the last guy.
Just help me find my boy.
- [mutters] Excuse me? - You're looking for the girl.
- Right? - [mercenary] Hey!
You all right, boss?
Yeah.
I am looking for the girl.
We're looking for the girl.
Okay, just so we're all clear,
on the monster island, you're looking for a girl?
So you've seen her monster?
We've seen dozens of monsters! This place is terrible!
Have you seen her or not?
[mocking] Oh, yeah! Yeah, there's a whole sorority of girls
back at the beach playing volleyball and mud wrestling.
It's very engaging!
[sighs] Look, kid.
As soon as we find this girl, we can get off this godforsaken...
- Wait! - Ugh, what?
- Have you seen my dad? - [loudly] Who's your dad?
That's not how this works. We ask you questions, you answer them.
- How is it... - [blade slicing]
Ahh!
[thrilling music playing]
- [choking] - [Annie grunting]
[suspenseful music playing]
Are all boys as useless as you?
- Yeah. - Pretty much.
- [beast growling] - [Annie gasps]
[mercenaries exclaim]
[growling continues]
[nervously] Did that thing follow us?
[laughing and howling]
- Shut up! - [howling continues]
What is she doing?
[paws thundering]
[mercenaries groan]
Ha!
[laughing]
- [growling] - [Annie screams]
Annie!
