Inside, a stunning recreation of a New York suburb has been prepared for filming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"main\" align=\"justify\">The tram&#8217;s heading across a large bridge. Suddenly, a TV flickers into life in one of the windows we&#8217;re passing.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a News Report. The anchorman announces &#8220;There&#8217;s an enraged beast loose on the streets of New York&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>We now see beautiful telecopter reporter Kelly King who&#8217;s right in the middle of the action above the wreckage of a crashed el-train. She sees a tramload of people down on a bridge in danger. That&#8217;s US!! We hear the helicopter, and Kelly&#8217;s voice now cuts through the noise over the helicopter sound system, warning us to get out!. Suddenly, the news report cuts out, and the stricken helicopter falls out of the sky right next to the tram, smashing into some power cables on the way and bursting into flames.<\/p>\n<p class=\"main\" align=\"justify\">The tram driver decides to get us out of the danger. Wait &#8211; there&#8217;s something blocking the bridge ahead, and there&#8217;s a Police chopper shooting at it. As we round the corner, we can see Kong! He&#8217;s got hold of the bridge that we have to cross to escape! The tram driver tries to pass Kong but the beast shakes the bridge and roars at us!
