King Kong Escapes (1967)

Kong fights a Robot Kong. What's not to like?

[5/10 · 24 July 2011]

This is a funny movie. Let's start with the characters. None of them are memorable in any way. They're all a bunch of clichés and the actors are pretty bad. Some are over the top and goofy while others are boring as hell. The special effects aren't that good either. Before you go off accusing me of being some kinda person who hates the man in a rubber suit thing, I should inform you that the men in the rubber suits are the only good parts about the special effects in this film. Other that that all the the helicopters, the submarines, and even the giant snake look laughably bad. The story is a SORT OF remake of the original King Kong movie. The plot is this: The sinister Dr. Who plans to capture Kong from his home of Skull Island (I know they call the island something else in the film, but forget it it not like were going to remember that name anyways) so that Kong can retrieve Element X. Unfortudentally Kong will only listen to a woman that he saved from Gororsaurus a few days prior. In the end, this is an enjoyable little bad film, so see it if you want some laughs.
