    Could've been a much better movie if it had been about Ernie Hudson and Bruce Campbell using lasers to fight Tim Curry's army of super-apes (They called him mad! Insane! Wendell!)

      Its weird how hippoes, koalas, and dolphins are often treated as more friendly and less dangerous than they actually are. Koalas are tempermental, nasty, bacteria laden drug addicts who would sooner sink their claws into you than cuddle. Dolphins are sadistic, nymphomaniac, bloodthirsty savages who enjoy watching their prey suffer. Hippoes are extremely aggressive, strong enough to bite a crocodile in two, and kill more people than lions and crocodiles in Africa. Why do we act like they're such gentle and friendly creatures....?

      Billy Waring Yeah, if only Bruce Campbell, Tim Curry, AND Ernie Hudson could've been 3 of the main heroes, this movie could've been a classic, instead of being forgettable. Plus, they had diamond fueled laser guns too. Just imagine Ernie Hudson firing a laser gun with Tim Curry AND Bruce Campbell! It's one of the coolest things that could've happened, but didn't!! Damn man, what a HUGELY missed opportunity.

    Not sure if its been pointed out, but the "Tickle Amy" thing is meant in reference to Koko the gorilla, a captive gorilla taught sign language that often ask to be tickled by people.

    I just finished reading the book “Congo” and came here to rewatch the Channel Awesome movie review. You see the potential in Micheal Crichton’s novels to be adapted into great movies, like Jurassic Park. Condensing and shifting plot and characters from novel to script is difficult, but it can be done. Steven Spielberg made an amazing masterpiece of cinema that can stand independent of the source material as a timeless classic. Then you see catastrophes like this

    • @eggnogalcoholic
      @eggnogalcoholic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      This movie lacks the intelligence and subtlety from the book that the movie Jurassic Park still managed to communicate. Scientific jargon and explanation needs to be compressed, but not to the point of talking down to the audience. The intelligent and probable elements of the novels that allows itself to be taken so seriously is suddenly a hokey b movie

    • @eggnogalcoholic

      By the way, Tim Curry’s character is not in the book... AT ALL 😂 not even in the slightest. Neither is Peter’s sidekick.

    Fuck it, I’ll try to find this movie and watch it.

    I actually had no idea that Amy was a person in Gorilla costume. I thought Amy was a real Gorilla until I saw your review a few years ago Nostalgia Critic and The Albino Ape Costumes of The Killer Gorillas were pretty convincing too in my opinion.

    Though I don't consider this film a good movie, I can't bring myself to hate it. The book it's based on is one of my favorite books of all time and I love seeing where they got it right, and where they got it wrong.

    Notice how in all these adventure movies the tomb/cave/ancient chamber that the heroes find in the climax always conveniently collapses at the end? Not just Congo, but Raiders of the Lost Ark (at the beginning), The Last Crusade, the 2001 Tomb Raider...I could go on lol.

    They actually sold an Amy plush when this movie was released. There was also a tie in with Taco Bell that had collectible Congo cups like Jurrastic Park did 2yrs earlier. And a toy line They thought the movie was going to be a big hit but it flopped pretty bad. We owned the Amy plush it didn't talk though unfortunately lol. IM pretty sure my mom still has it in a box with all my other childhood toys. I saw the movie when I was 13 or so on HBO and enjoyed it I didn't think it was that bad but I haven't seen it as an adult so don't know how id feel about it now.

    Oh, no, I mean the films are some of the best (except for JPIII, that is "one big pile of shit" and wasn't even based on a Michael Crichton book), by "that's a laugh" I mean, yeah, if you dinosaurs escaping and eating people "doing well".

      Yeah that sucked I had to look away. Saddest Tim Curry character death though? Nope, The Beast in Stories From My Childhood is still the winner in my eyes. He's the only man who can take something as ridiculous as "dying of loneliness" and manage to make it heart-breaking.
