Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Rainey Dawn 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
smittie-1 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.
Red-Barracuda I just don't get the full-on negativity that this film seems to attract. Sure it's shoddy and completely ridiculous. But it has a certain dumb charm and is a hell of a lot more entertaining than you would think given its terrible rating. I mean honestly a jungle adventure featuring robot gorillas and a white savage-girl can't be all bad. The story is basically about a muscle-bound knuckle-head who is sent into the wilderness to save his friends daughter from a mad scientist and his robot apes. He comes into contact with a savage girl who leads him to the baddies.This is certainly a cheap and trashy film. But there is enough action, laughs and general bewilderment to keep a bad movie aficionado happy. The title is meaningless – there is no Kong and they are not on an island. But I am guessing that 'Robot Ape Jungle' didn't cut the mustard. The African setting was convincing enough until the scene early in the film when the characters visit a bar and everyone starts dancing to some ultra cheesy 60's Euro-Pop. Incidentally, you will be doing extraordinarily well if you do not laugh at this point at our knuckle-headed hero's dance moves. You may also get some amusement when our heroes travel to the jungle down what can only be described as Stock Footage Road. Or what about later when our hero and an incidental character - who serves absolutely no purpose by the way - are captured by natives and then immediately set free to run away because, and I quote Mr Knucklehead, 'they're savages, they expect us to run for our lives!' Saves them the bother of actually trying to escape I guess. I have to also note that the score to this film is a very enjoyable combination of distorted guitars, Euro-cheese, African drums and easy listening organs.Basically I am happy to say that this film is not nearly as bad as it probably seems. I found it good fun and really can't see why it is ranked so atrociously lowly. It's quite an enjoyable slice of nonsense if you want to know the truth.
vampi1960 king of Kong island or Kong's island has nothing to do with king Kong,and it is'nt even on an island but its an entertaining little goofy b-movie about a mad scientist(Marc Lawrence)turning gorillas into remote controlled killers from brain implants.well now its up to Hercules actor(brad Harris)to save the day,playing a mercenary this time.there's also a half naked wild woman named eve who is a friend of the gorillas,well before they are tampered with.when i first saw this i think it was on Elvira's movie macabre.which makes it more interesting. if you like grade b monster movies with zero plot then you will like Kong island.i bought this as a twin pack from retro media,the other movie is the long lost British made queen Kong,which i will review soon. as for Kong island,i give it 6 out of 10.
