Choy, a member of the Venture's crew, is the best friend of Lumpy (q.v.) the cook. When Lumpy goes on the mission to rescue Ann Darrow from the clutches of King Kong, Choy accompanies him.
He proves to be incredibly lucky early on, when he survives being in the middle of a massive dinosaur stampede, but only being awarded a first name and not a second name, the audience knows that this is not going to be long lasting. He ultimately meets his final fate during the scene where Kong is shaking all the men off the log bridge, and into a deep canyon filled with giant insects. Choy holds on for as long as he can, Lumpy and Preston even try to help him by grabbing for his arms, but Choy finally loses his grip and plummets to his death in the canyon below.
I think it's unfair to say that Lumpy killed Choy, It's not like he grabbed him up and said "Have a nice fall" and dropped him
Where does it say Lumpy killed Choy? I clearly submitted the death with Kong listed as the killer.
BEfore it said Lumpy, maybe I read it wrong........
I don't remember Preston trying, alls i saw was Lumpy
Only Lumpy actually manages to grab ahold of him. We see Preston, to Lumpy's right, reaching and straining for Choy but unable to reach his arm. It's very brief and only in one shot but it was there.
I just got and watched the extended version of King Kong, and in it Choy actually survives the fall and is alive at the bottom of the chasm long enough for him and Lumpy to have a few words before he expires.
Not Quite Dead, then? I have my doubts about him surviving that fall, but there you go...
Well, we could have it in an Alternate/Deleted Scene category.
