It is a performances centric movie
Absolutely Fantastic
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
I had my hopes up that this would be so bad that it's good - but it isn't. It's just a stupid awful film. I watched and listened to the film while cleaning the house. I had more fun cleaning up dishes, cleaning out the cat box, plus sweeping and mopping the floors than I did with this movie (if you can call it that). The one thing about the film is it bored me enough to go ahead and do what I needed to do in the house.I really have to take out the trash in a bit and I would throw this film in the garbage but it came in a 50-Pack so there are other films on the same disc. That means I'm keeping the film but it will go in my profile folder list labeled "My Garbage Collection".1/10
*Spoiler/plot- The King of Kong Island, 1968 Jungle natives are terrorized by a crazy scientist work on experiments between gorillas and humans brains.*Special Stars- Marc Lawrence, Brad Harris *Theme- Jungle areas often hold danger in many forms.*Trivia/location/goofs- Italian, microphone boom in the shot during the cave, mind-controlled gorillas, and mad scientist scenes.*Emotion- A rather crazy film, NOT saved by the rest of the film's good science fiction plot. Even the veteran Marc Lawence can't save this film. It's very bad and a waste.
A trashy Italian jungle adventure, with a mad scientist implanting radios into gorillas' brains, so they will do his bidding. The film is sleazy and slow, a kind of scummy imprint of White Africa in the age of decolonization. The bureaucrats have fled the continent, and all who are left are the mercs, the drunks, and the cranks. Too many scenes in a dive bar, too much footage from big game hunts, no point in the end. A perfect nihilistic Z movie.Any nudity has been edited out of the American cut, making this trashy film even more pointless. The film is still plenty sleazy, though. Everyone sweats and snarls their way across the frame, and each new location looks grimier than the last. I think I caught beri beri just watching this movie.And yet, the whole time, I was happy. I was entertained. There is nothing so sweet as a movie that plays completely beyond the bounds of good taste. A movie that DARES you to watch.It deserves its rotten, budget DVD presentation.
King of Kong Island (1968) BOMB (out of 4) A mad scientist puts the brains of humans into the body of apes. On another part of the island a girl might be the long lost gorilla woman. This is an incredibly bad Italian production, which has to be one of the worst that country ever sent over to America. The title sticks out on a video store shelf but that's about the only thing going for this movie. The performances are all terrible and the dubbing is even worse. The film doesn't contain any of those "so bad it's good" laughs, which means you just have a lifeless film where suicide might be better than actually watching.
