The obvious comparison I can come up with is FLESH GORDON. If you hated FLESH GORDON, you'll really hate KING DONG. Even if you liked FLESH GORDON, you'll probably hate this feeble attempt at a porno parody (if it can be called that) of KING KONG. Like FLESH GORDON, it does boast some surprisingly good stop-motion beasts. While most people who are used to big budget CGI and animatronics won't be impressed, I remember thinking that it was almost as good as Willis O'Brien's work. Nowhere near as good as Ray Harryhausen's work, though. Notice I'm spending most of the review on the effects. That's because the rest of it sucks. For a parody, it's not funny. The actors are mostly (if not all) ugly. If you're looking for adult entertainment, stay away from this. The only reason to watch this is just to say you did.

Stars for the name King Dong
BandSAboutMovies23 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
You can guess what movie this is trying to be. Also known as Lost on Adventure Island, this begins when Anna (Crystal Holland, who was only in two other movies, Surrender In Paradise - which is also about a shipwreck but at least has Ginger Lynn and Lois Ayres in the cast - and A Little Bit of...Hanky Panky) runs away from home and sails the seas, at least until her ship hits a battleship and she wakes up on an island filled with dinosaurs and, yes, King Dong who is really Supersimian, a female giant gorilla who is interested in Anna's lover Alex (Chaz St. Peters).
Directed by Yancey Hendrieth, who also plays Buddy the Gorilla, and who wrote this along with his wife Dee, who plays Anna's mother, this has a cast and crew that didn't make another movie. Even Keith Finkelstein and David Dane, who did the stop motion effects for the dinosaurs and Supersimian. Buddy is just an ape suit.
It's no Flesh Gordon, so just imagine how rough of a watch this was. Yet when someone asks, "Have you ever watched a porn parody of King Kong?" I can answer positively.
