Thank you! Halfway through video I was like is that her and commented asking. I troll comments and tada, you clarified. Yeah I coulda looked it up elsewhere but anyway
I’m making a new film called lizard its about a giant lizard monster that shoots nuclear energy out of its mouth and was created by an atomic bomb. Not to be confused with godzilla it’s completely original
I'm now picturing Mark sitting alone in his apartment for hours on end bored but unreasonably angry. He does this for our entertainment. If that isn't the height of selflessness I don't know what is.
I'm not sure about "unreasonably". Brandon Tenfold (also on TH-cam) reckoned it was the worst film he'd ever reviewed, and he absolutely loathed it. There seems to be something about this film that just gets under people's skin! I'm almost tempted to watch it, to find out for myself...
@@christopherdieudonne The entire movie budget was $23,000.and filmed entirely in South Korea. That's in year 1976 dollars, but still with marketing and travel costs for the crew and American actors, she couldn't have gotten more than a few thousand dollars.
True, but for me the miniature cow and toy tank were the oh-boy moments. It has to be the worst miniature work ever! Kind of reminds be of old GI Joe ads.
That makes 2 of us brother. Last couple weeks have been a little ragged. I needed a Good laugh. The middle finger and stepping over the tiny Holstein were right on time. Thanks for what you do. We appreciate you.
8:42 Interesting thing about scale; the original *KING KONG* from 1933 actually intentionally changes the scale halfway through the movie. During the first half, when he's on the island, Kong is about 70 feet tall. In the second half, once he's in New York, he's about 26 feet tall. (Thus symbolizing him losing his power once he's in New York).
This movie, I'll agree, is bad. However, same one I learned of this movie from, guy named Brandon Tenold, I also learned of another King Kong ripoff, that is so bad, it makes this look like a masterpiece of great cinema by comparison. A movie known as Queen Kong.
I laughed sooooooo hard 10:01 at both the ape and Mark's reaction. You gotta love the dozens and dozens of 'mockbusters' out there. It's not The Price is Right it's....The Cost is Correct. Great video Mark 😂👍
Some mockbusters can be better than the original. I watched the War of the Worlds mockbuster, and found it better than the Tom Cruise vehicle which came out around the same time. It was closer to the book too.
That tiny tank at the end is the cutest thing i've seen in a long while, lol. As an aside, I wonder if the constant 'things flying directly into camera' was because maybe they initially were going to have the film be shot in 3D but the lack of budget meant they had to scrap that idea before filming wrapped ? I have no idea if that's the case, just trying tgo wrap my head around the constant 'into the camera' shots lol
Hey Mark, give these guys some credit. At 6:30, with the awful miniature model cow, they went to the trouble to make the cow's tail twitch when the A.P.E. walks over it. Now THAT'S some real professional craftsmanship, innit?
I discovered your channel 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love it! My favourite TH-cam channel now! I’ve watched every video now. Just need to restart them all again. A load of movies I need to watch now too!
I remember seeing a newspaper ad for that movie when I was a kid, it had a different movie promo poster though, I never got to see it, another one I remember is ‘The Onion that ate Cleveland’.
LOL, I'd forgotten all about this gem. Loved this review, super funny and entertaining as usual. In my country (Portugal) this movie got the hilariously epic title of... SUPER KONG!!! :D
The scene at 4:40 is something the director was experimenting with..some of his fellow director friends even called it "new and innovating"..im not even joking either...this seen was actually one of his favorites but he should have experimented with it more and it would have looked better..idk..just a little fun fact for you fans out there. 👍 *SIDENOTE* - If it was me directing this movie I would have cut the scene to the army guy jumping out of the moving truck just in time before the 4×4 impaled him..they let the shot run to long so you see the 4x4 actually stop and then vibrate..lol
Your videos never get old! Put them on whenever I have to do boring stuff around the room and no matter how many times I’ve rewatched your stuff I always end up stopping what I’m doing to go sit and watch. Can’t imagine what a joy it must be to watch movies like this in your company 😅
Considering they used a live snake I'm glad the fight was a gentle fling at the camera. Fingers crossed at least one animal made it out of this production alive!
With the rocks and can and stuff flying at the camera, makes me wonder if it was a crappy attempt at some sort of 3-D? BTW, LOL like crazy when you played the music from the film and inserted your head, hummed along and turned red! Genius 🤣
I do love that the poster has these itty-bitty people hanging from a helicopter and getting ready to jump on the APE while it is fighting a shark, a giant viper and sinking a ship simultaneously. What is that little guy thinking? "Oh yeah, this is gonna work!"
This was one of my favorite posters in the Psychotronic Encyclopedia books back in the 80s. Many of your reviews remind me of a lot of those old movies I read about, but weren't available at our Video Store. You're doing God's work here.
Lol, great movie breakdown, thanks! That shark splashing scene reminds me of Bela Lugosi with a giant octopus monster in Bride of the Monster, which was reenacted by Martin Landau. I think he won an Oscar!
It's been a really tough week so I'm releasing this early. Hope you all enjoy
Be well 🏔
Thanks buddy!!! Hope your next week is better!
Another great video as usual Mark appreciate your work!👌
We will never be disappointed for an early release! Keep your stick on the ice, hopefully your week gets better.
thanks homie
I burst out laughing when the ape gave the middle finger, maybe the director knew that Mark will eventually review his work...
I might see this movie just for that. 😂
😆
I was laughing like crazy as well🤣
))))))))))))))
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Not to be confused with King Kong"
Oh trust me, it won't be.
Certainly not. Looks like it was made by a high school student for $2. And I thought that "The Apple" was bad!
I think it will be. With the old ones.
Still a better movie than Skull Island.
Nice. 😂
Back when ripoffs were honest about it
Ok, A.P.E. giving the middle finger is hilarious lol
I couldn't contain it after that. 😂
Amazing. That frame belongs in the Smithsonian.
It would be funnier if the glove of the monkey suit fit the actor's hand...Rick Baker gave us a much better version in The Incredible Shrinking Woman.
Yes
I like to think that was the actor reacting to being told he had to stay in the suit for 3 more hours
The Ape giving the helicopter the finger is absolutely iconic!
T-shirts material right there.
Not gonna lie, when the ape flipped the bird I laughed like a maniac. It was just so unexpected.
Ruined the film for me. Made me realise its just a man in the suit. Very disappointed.
10:00 That middle finger and your reaction is easily one of the funniest things that's happened on this channel
I think this move was originally shot in 3-D, which is why you get all of those "coming at ya!" effects directly toward the camera.
Makes so much sense. Do you think it's unfair to judge this film without 3D glasses? Got to experience it how the director intended 😉
If it weren’t for this show so many gems would go woefully unnoticed
He’s a time lord that helps us travel through time by breaking down 90 minutes to 20 minutes
JOE SANCHEZ lol why. Why is this necessary 😂
JOE SANCHEZ eh just watched it. Not my cup of tea I guess
@JOE SANCHEZ just watched it. wow that guy blows hard!
JOE SANCHEZ Yeah I have to agree with them. I watched it plus another one of his videos and definitely not my style. To each is own.
To watch this over the years and see you hone your craft in both comedy and editing has been a treat.
Agreed, was thinking the same thing. My brother showed me this channel years ago. I'm also glad to see his upload schedule's much better than before.
0:52
"Did King Kong ever fight a giant snake?"
Yes he did, in the 1976 remake.
I'm glad you said it. I was looking for this comment lol. this movie is clearly just aping(pun only slightly intended) off of the 1976 film.
I've got a simple routine; I see the notification, click on it, like the video, then watch it.
Never regretted liking it first.
"She's right there. JUST GRAB HER!!" 😂
Very Seinfeld!!
Leonardo DiCaprio has one degree of separation from this movie (Joanna Kerns, Growing Pains). Just something to dwell on.
He also went uncredited as The APE. They needed someone small
Thank you! Halfway through video I was like is that her and commented asking. I troll comments and tada, you clarified. Yeah I coulda looked it up elsewhere but anyway
The woman runs directly into the ape's hand, because it was easier than make the hand follow and grab her.
10:01 is what this movie is saying to the audience.
I’m making a new film called lizard its about a giant lizard monster that shoots nuclear energy out of its mouth and was created by an atomic bomb. Not to be confused with godzilla it’s completely original
Wow that sounds fantastic, I will provide you with budget for your movie
But not a lot, I have enough for 50 lizard scales
Alex_Magna perfect
@@mcbadrobotvoice8155 I'll put in enough money for 1 giant lizard tooth.
Just change the name to "Lyzard", because the name was taken after "Lizza Minella" but name changed for Copyright infringement.
Sign me up, please. I will play the role of the lizard.
the ape giving the finger was so funny i replayed it like 10 times, your reaction is perfect.
"Attacking Primate monstEr" 12:58 is still probably a better title than "Raging Attacking Primate monstEr"
I'm now picturing Mark sitting alone in his apartment for hours on end bored but unreasonably angry. He does this for our entertainment. If that isn't the height of selflessness I don't know what is.

@@andrewgwilliam4831 If he thinks that movie is bad he has never seen alien beast by sukenick.
@@Captaincj2005 Chances are he has, but he's not reviewed it.
He's a true Canadian!
This movie is straight up bananas !!!
😂😂😂
It's kinda like "The Christmas Light" which is in no way affiliated with "Toy Story"
Yep I thought that was Joanna Kerns who played Maggie Seaver in the 80's show Growing Pains lmao
Yeah she looks just like her.
You mean it’s not her?!
It's definitely her. I wonder how much she got paid for this. It doesn"t seem like the kind of film that could afford a real tv star.
Yep, that's her. It was her big screen debut and she was still using her real surname (DeVarona).

Queen Kong is infinitely worse LOL
how dare you insult that absolute cinematic masterpiece!
Yeah, I was going to comment about Brandon Tenold's video. What a wonderful world we live in where A*P*E isn't the worst King Kong ripoff.
dam that Brandon guy really sucks compared to this
@@GabrielAlcala956 I disagree, they both have different styles. I enjoy both.
Me: I wanna get King Kong DVD!

I concur. The poster also says: "Ten tons of animal fury LEAPS from the screen"
The movie was released in 3-D, that's why everything is coming at the screen. And Maggie Seaver was pretty hot.
I was thinking it was in 3-D and yet it never even occurred to him. 😂
Yup. It says "with 3-D effects" right there in the Wikipedia.
Thank you. I was like it was clearly looks like it is suppose to be 3-D, especially when the car crash had a beam heading towards the camera.
The girl in red? Yes, she was.
3D? How did 3D exist back in what, 1960??? No way.
I need to be honest.....I lost it at @6:22 the sarcasm just has me crying hahaha
1:50 Best line delivery ever. 👏😂
6:24 😂👍
10:01 Yup.😄💯
The scene with the cow had me in tears... hilarious!!
This is the first film on Mark's show that I've never ever heard about before. Thank you.
I'm pretty sure none of us here have heard of it. Although, I'm aware of a lot of King Kong rip-offs.
I only have heard of this movie because I also follow Brandon Tenold's channel. He talked about this film a few years ago.
Hey Mark, give these guys some credit. At 6:30, with the awful miniature model cow, they went to the trouble to make the cow's tail twitch when the A.P.E. walks over it. Now THAT'S some real professional craftsmanship, innit?

Who ever is in that ape suit is having fun doing the movie.
I don't think they realised they were in a movie.
Joanna Kerns (of ‘Growing Pains’ TV series fame) made her debut in this movie as Marilyn.
I remember seeing a newspaper ad for that movie when I was a kid, it had a different movie promo poster though, I never got to see it, another one I remember is ‘The Onion that ate Cleveland’.
That's the Brother to "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes".
When the APE flipped off the camera I feel like that was a fourth wall break directly aimed at Mark to stick it to him for watching this disaster
Oh damn I made it to the end of the video and turns out Mark was thinking the same thing
I'm GROWING in my PAINS how I love this.
OMG Mark! I could not stop.laughing when A.P.E. flips off the camera. Hilarious.
LOL, I'd forgotten all about this gem. Loved this review, super funny and entertaining as usual. In my country (Portugal) this movie got the hilariously epic title of... SUPER KONG!!! :D
Mark, my friend, you make this plataform a better place for sure. Tks for the fun times and the laughs, and also for the lessons on cinema. Grazie.

The effects were way ahead of it's time!
Considering the movie was made in the year 1530 ...
😂
Fucking hilarious. The stepping over the tiny cow was my favourite.
0:50 he actually did fight a monster snake in the second remake from 1976 which is ironically the same year this movie came out
I thought the first King Kong remake was released in 1976?
@@Nestalgba92023 it was i meant the second movie as in the first remake i didn't make my comment very clear
When the Ape flipped the bird I swear I almost pissed my pants, I never laughed so hard this year
I can't believe it took me this long to find this channel.
this was an extreeeeemely underrated movie. definitely in my Top 10 just below Con-Air.

It would have been a funny prank when people went to see Peter Jackson king kong if they showed this instead
9:40, Ape mask flap is clearly acceptable at this point because the director is like, "Oh F*k it! The hands had almost no fur on them anyways." Lol 😂
Quarantine has done wonders for Mark's upload schedule! Love it!
We need to lock him up permanently.
Arent sock accounts the greatest thing ever invented?
@13:33. Mark, this, film was originally released in 3D that's why things keep flying @ the screen
That poster was actually kinda cool tho....
Agreed. 😂
7:55 my favorite part of this video
Mark...Mark...MAAAAARK!!!!
I have to say thank you for reviewing these movies. You and these abominations bring so much joy.
Every time I'm really bored and TH-cam just has run it's course for my day you upload something that day. Love your show. Fellow Canadian in Victoria.
All the gimmiks look like this was an old-school 3-D flik. It had to be.
It was
You literally make the world a better place. We love you bro KEEP THIS UP!
A.P.E.- "I did NOT hit those helicopters. I didn't touch them! I did NOT.. Oh Hi Mark"
That middle finger reminded me of Wes Craven's Cursed. Please make a video about Cursed. So much talent, such a bad film.
8:20 When Mark Turned red I got a unintended Disney Gasm! Oh yeah, then at 10:26 Mark gave us more & more he gave us so much at one time I got there !
Is that the actress from “Growing Pains”?
Honestly Ijust love getting stoned and just binge watching all your vids
One of the alternative titles for A*P*E is "Attack of the Giant Horny Gorilla."
NOT KIDDING!!!!!
Such great videos, I'm sad you aren't more popular. You definitely deserve more subs
Considering they used a live snake I'm glad the fight was a gentle fling at the camera. Fingers crossed at least one animal made it out of this production alive!
The shark was not so lucky...
@@SwiftNimblefoot I envision the shark being purchased at a fish market… but indeed it had already been caught and killed.
This video is an instant classic. Well done. 👏
You know Dennis Hopper would say: "Monkey !" :D

King Kong would never give the finger to the audience.

I don’t know if your community loves it, but the CC community needs it. Soooo good!!!!
That movie looks like absolute crap. I really enjoyed this episode so, yeah, thanks for taking that turd bullet for us.
I do love that the poster has these itty-bitty people hanging from a helicopter and getting ready to jump on the APE while it is fighting a shark, a giant viper and sinking a ship simultaneously. What is that little guy thinking? "Oh yeah, this is gonna work!"
