5.0 out of 5 stars
Prepare to laugh your socks OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, June 4, 2009
This review is from: The Kong Collection (Queen Kong/Kong Island) (DVD)
If you enjoy satires,spoofs,and parodies of particular genres,QUEEN KONG
IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU!On the same line as: AIRPLANE!,ATTACK OF THE KILLER
TOMATOES,SCHLOCK!,LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS,CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA,
GODMONSTER OF INDIAN FLATS,RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES,KILLER TOMATOES
EAT FRANCE,and SPACEBALLS,QUEEN KONG will have you literally dying from laughter!In the wake of all the hype surrounding DINO DE LAURENTIS' big-
budget remake of KING KONG starring JEFF BRIDGES,CHARLES GRODIN,and
JESSICA LANGE,every major film studio around the world was trying to cash
in on the hype.Italy gave us:"YETI THE GIANT OF THE 20TH CENTURY",Hong
Kong gave us: "THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN",South Korea unleashed: A*P*E*,while
the United Kingdom made: "QUEEN KONG"!But unlike the other films mentioned before it that tried to take and portray themselves seriously,
QUEEN KONG is the only one that MOST CERTAINLY DOES NOT!It is an outright
satire and parody on everything that was the 'thing' in the 1970's.It
pokes fun at everything from hippies,to the women's liberation movement,
to JANE FONDA,to JIMMY CARTER,and even RONALD RAEGAN'S acting when QUEEN
KONG trashes the Ronald Raegan film festival during her rampage through
the streets of London!If you're expecting to get a serious giant monster
on the loose movie in QUEEN KONG then you will CERTAINLY BE DISAPPOINTED!
