      Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The cross-eyed gorilla isn't even the worst element of the unspeakably awful The Mighty Gorga. Rated: 1/4 Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      DanTheMan 2 The Mighty Gorga is a prime example of how not to shoot a kaiju movie on a budget. Whether or not this is better or worse than A*P*E is up for debate but it's a very close competition. The film problems are numerous and obvious, be it the giant gorilla costume is oh-so-very poor with its fixed bugged-out eyes, poor plotting, painfully slow pacing, non-existent acting with many lines that are obviously flubbed, shoddy mattes, over-reliance on unrelated stock footage, horrendous sound mixing with the stock music completely dominates the dialogue rendering it inaudible at points and a hilarious plastic T-Rex. The only real thing I can give it credit for is the location work which is a pretty good stand-in for a jungle. The Mighty Gorga is just a distressing experience that doesn't even enter the realm of so bad it's good. Whether or not this has any merit is certainly a question, the racism certainly doesn't help, but I can say like A*P*E it's a must-see in terms of Z-grade movie making. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review Audience Member So, here's a King Kong rip-off with an awful gorilla costume, a plastic toy T-Rex and bad acting and dialogue. It's awesome. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Goofy, good fun Kong knockoff. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Hilariously bad & cheap King Kong knock off that you have to give the filmmakers credit for even mentioning the movie they're ripping off. This flix is so awful that it should have you laughing out loud before the opening credits even roll. One of the shoddiest gorilla suites that I have ever seen & then shot gunning you w/ some more atrocious monsters (the rubber dinosaur made me think this was shot by a five year old), piss poor acting (Megan Timothy was obviously cast for her looks) & a script that the financial backers must have been just high or drunk enough to put their $2 behind. Fucking terrible in every aspect but goddamn impossible to hate because it is like watching a car crash @ the circus. Sure there may be dead clowns but they're still funny Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Gets a zero for effort (hand puppet special effects) and story (King Kong rip) Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Jag är svag för Apa men här går min gräns, jag gillar dum film men det här är för dumt.Om filmen varit 65 minuter hade jag gett den två, nu håller skiten på i över 1 och en halv.Somna på slutet.
