Darthslug I was watched movie. It has the Gorilla and it has all action all of the time. I like gorilla does kung fu in the way. I watch many of kung fu and this gorilla. You lkie movie as well? You get to see all of movie as well. I watch gorilla kung fu agane and agena. My one said autism the movie.I give 9 of 10
DarthBill Plot: When a gorilla trained in Kung Fu is sent to America, a bumbling wannabe reporter and his sidekick hatch a scheme to cash in on the one of a kind specimen. Naturally, things go wrong and all sorts of crazy shenanigans ensue once King Kung Fu himself escapes. Not exactly a masterpiece and could have used better pacing, but on the whole a surprisingly funny one night romp poking fun at the bloated 1976 "King Kong" remake - with naturally a Fay Ray shout out joke thrown in for good measure - along with the big martial arts craze of the 70s. My favorite scene - probably King Kung Fu fighting the baseball team.
mattnintendonerd I saw someone do a movie review on this video on a website and I looked everywhere to find this movie. I couldn't find it. So one day I was at a yard sale and saw they had this video on VHS. I bought it, though I had a DVD player, not a VCR. So I went to three different electronic stores and got to best buy. They only had a VCR connected to a TV. The TV was 400 dollars. This was in 2001 when VCRS were out dated and shitty TV's were a lot of money, ANYWAY, I bought it and saw the video. I was stunned. If you saw this movie you would know what I mean. Its old so right off the bat I loved it. I'm into that stuff. Also this movie is hands down one of the best movies I have seen. It has that old 1970's "Kung Fu" stylized action. And I just enjoyed every minute of this video. So I would like to thank James Rofle for recommending this movie.
TheCinemassacre Coming from a fan of "Mystery Science Theater" and B-movies like "Plan 9 From Outer Space", I have to say "King Kung Fu" is one to see if you're in the right mood.If you think the idea of a guy running around in a cheap gorilla costume beating people up sounds funny, then you're on the right track. It certainly has its moments that made me laugh my ass off.Why include a John Wayne impersonator, I have no idea, but it's hilarious! He's my favorite character and his impression is spot on, yet hysterically bad at the same time. It's not a high class movie by any means. It's slapstick humor. I've seen it criticzed for its cheap gorilla suit and bad acting. It seems some reviews actually take it seriously and don't realize it's a comedy.But the jokes range from clever like "I'm the karater and he's the karate" to just plain dumb "I gotta make like a banana and split." But when the jokes are bad, they're funny BECAUSE they're so bad. And that's what to expect from a movie like this. If you like cheesy, out of control, "So bad it's good" movies, then give it a watch and you're sure to have a few good laughs. Also See: John Landis' "SCHLOCK". Also, with a monkey running around.
