A large King Kong statue erupted into flames Thursday night at the premiere of Kong: Skull Island in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Many people fled the scene, while others pulled out their phones to capture the blazing eruption.
The raging fire reportedly began early in the evening, after dancers finished a routine where they danced around a fire.
