Unintentionally The Mighty Gorga is the greatest Giant Ape parody of all time. Not even Jerry Zucker could write some of the gags in this film. Take for example the obviously caucasian witch doctor cursing the arrival of greedy whites in a California accent, while Gorga gazes through the bushes with a look of severe confusion. Or when the ape hurts his finger fighting a toy dinosaur and expresses this by doing what looks like a muted stand up routine for half a minute. Or when he storms the village twice during the film and we see the same exact native reaction shots both times. Or when our protagonist tells his companion to 'keep her eyes open' and we immediately cut to a shot of Gorga with his ever-open, ever-puzzled peepers. You owe yourself the joy of witnessing this turkey. Praise David L. Hewitt!
