So if you read my blog at all, you may have seen my posts about all the King Kong knock offs that happened in the late 70s. Some of them good, some bad. But now you get to see my idea of the worst. Queen Kong was produced in the United Kingdom to capitalize on the De Laurentiis King Kong of 1976. It is very clearly a spoof, and it is horrible to watch.
I purchased this film on DVD sometime in the early 2000s, mostly because I knew it was banned from being shown in the UK (due to legal action by De Laurentiis). I do not know if it was shown here in the US. I loved the DVD cover tagline: “She’s in one of her moods again!”.
The movie is a silly, stupid gender reversal film where the main antagonist is a female gorilla on a rampage in love with a male, in London, spoofing not only Kong movies but Jaws too:
Jaws? Where are your teeth lady? Looks more like Gums to me…
Now I know some of you out there really enjoy bad movies, and I count myself to be one of them, but seriously this one just sucks so bad. I’d avoid it. Special effects are far from special, and the script….well lets just say a monkey could write something much better.
Looks convincing to me….
