Georgan G This is another stinker from the 50 movie pack SciFi Classics. Despite the title, this film has nothing to do with Kong nor any island. A mad scientist wants to control the world via brains being implanted with a radio transmitter. Ignore this one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review Audience Member WHERE THE FUCK WAS KONG?!? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 57% Where was Kong? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The only relationship to King Kong that this movie has are apes. These apes are not giants but are being brain controlled by the villain who hopes to use them as an army for conquering the world. The near-naked lady who was raised by them must team up with the villains ex-partner to stop them. Convoluted and confusing but somewhat entertaining. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A very slow, ridiculous film that has nothing to do with King Kong besides the fact that this movie has a few gorillas in it. Goofy looking gorillas at that. The plot is hilariously bad. A bit boring, but almost so bad it's good. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review kevin w Hoo boy, what's not in this picture?!? White bwana man roaming the jungle: check. Scantily clad jungle vixen that talks to animals: check. Mad scientist who wants to ... wait for it ... take over the world: check. Robot gorillas: check. Go-go dancing girls: you bet. Exploitation? Sure, but fun exploitation. Kong? No. Island? No. Nobody's perfect. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
