why such a big door

If you build a wall to keep something big out, why make a door big enough to let it in?
And, why build a giant door to a giant wall, but don't bother to add a giant door bell? It doesn't have to be an electric door bell that buzzes, or anything. Just something that alerts the people on the inside that there's someone on the outside waiting for someone to open up the giant Freak'n door! So, they can come inside where it's much safer, that's all.
The giant door bell could be a really big horn to blow into, for example. Just give them something they can use to alert the people on the inside. Otherwise, the person could be left stranded outside and exposed to the elements for days without anyone knowing that they're even there. -

A better question is why build a big wall to protect yourself from a gorilla? The gorilla should have just naturally climbed that wall if he ever wanted to get to the other side. And why was Jack so certain that Kong would climb the Twin Towers when he never bothered to climb the wall on the island?

Yeah, I too always thought that building a big wall as the only stop gap measure for preventing a giant gorilla from attacking a village was pretty useless. One of the few good things about Peter Jackson's 2005 'King Kong', is that he seemed to recognize the same issue about the giant wall not being a formidable enough object to stop a giant ape from entering the village.
So, he added a deep pit of fire in front of the giant wall to make the security measures of the village appear to be more dauntingly impenetrable. And, I think it was a good addition to one of the weaker elements of the 2 'King Kong' movies that proceeded his. -

That was always a question I had too, why build a big wall when this gorilla can simply climb over it? The other question about all 3 movies that they never answer: all 3 movies jump from Kong laying knocked out on Skull Island, then basically the next scene he's chained up on a stage in NYC for public viewing. I don't think they tempted him with bananas, they must have kept him knocked out for what, 6 months? There's a few more questions (how DOES a 25 foot high gorilla walk around NYC unnoticed for so long?) but that's for another post. This version of King Kong is by far the worst. I was in my 20's when this came out and the few people I know who did see it at the movies thought it was terrible - bad acting, terrible special effects, laughable gorilla and awful script. Fun movie to watch if you were buzzed on weed and Michelob though.
