Movie Reviews of Ape
Movie Review: Funny bad movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's a movie that's funny,either on purpose or unintentional,but still alot of fun..Cheap looking monkey suit,effects you'd see in Godzilla movies or worse.Funny to watch the APE play with the handglider;when the APE steps over a toy cow;when the APE gives the finger to a helicopter that just crashed;the list goes on..You can't believe what you're seeing and that's not including the dialogue.Great for the family,except for the four letter words..Highly recommended!!Movie Review: It's big, it's stupid, it's A*P*E!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit, I love this terrible movie! I have owned it for a couple of months now, and have probably watched it a half-dozen times, it's that bad (and by bad, I really mean good, but I'm sure you have already figured that out).
I could go through every surreal moment for you, but many, many of the other reviewers have already done that. In fact, the best advice I could give is to not read any of the other reviews (if you haven't already) and just buy the silly thing used. I can only imagine how much more enjoyable this thing would have been for me had I not known what to look for and just experienced it on my own.
Still reading? Well, alright, I guess I could comment on a couple of things.
First of all, this movie is a perfect combination of intentional and unintentional laughs. Bad acting and bad effects will make you shake your head and chuckle, but there are also times when it's obvious the director actually intented to make you laugh. Adding to the fun is the fact that it was originally shot in 3-D, old school 3-D, you know, when they actually like to throw stuff at the camera to try and scare you. Priceless.
Secondly, this has to be the worst actor to ever wear a giant creature suit and stumble around a set. Some reviewers have mention that APE dances throughout the whole movie, but after watching it a few times I'm convinced that the actor just didn't know how to react, so he just waved his arms and moved around alittle bit, and it kind-of looks like he's dancing. After watching this I have a newfound respect for the men that wear the Godzilla suits, those boys can act!
So there you have it, a movie so bad it's good, with even more "What the ....??" moments than Ed Woods classic disasterpiece "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Buy it on the cheap and it will keep you entertained on a lazy Sunday afternoon or be the conversation piece at your next party. But because of the bad langauge and a few adult themes, don't show it to the kiddies.
Movie Review: A*P*E make bad movie. GRRRRRR!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am one of the few humans able to say they saw this piece of trash in theaters in 3D no less! My Dad worked for a movie distributor, so we saw a lot of movies in the 70's for free! Some great, some not so great.
A*P*E is so awful words do it no justice. I can't believe it's on DVD so I had to waste money on the DVD for the laughs and memories.
An abomination, this Korean/American co-production is a total ripoff of King Kong and was released a mere few months before Paramount's big budget borefest King Kong came out in 1976. Deservedly, the idiots behind this "
production" were sued when ads and posters stated this was the New King Kong or something like that.
Of course the film itself deserves 0 stars, but c'mon, this played theaters! Could never happen today. The ape sums it up when, after crashing a plane, he turns around and gives us the finger. I am both ashamed and proud to have seen this pile of gorilla droppings on the big screen. By the way-Image actually did the best they could with restoring this movie which was shot using very cheap stock film. The audio is still absymal, but do you really care?
A*P*E!!!
Movie Review: I am one of the lucky ones.
Summary: 4 Stars
That's right. I saw this movie when I was 6 years old, in 1976 during a snowy night, at the Leo Mall in Philadelphia, and in 3-D! I haven't seen this movie in 31 years until tonight. I wish it was in 3-D still. Then again, I also wish I was skinny with more hair. Things change. But I still love this movie. And now I can appreciate how utterly bad it is. If this movie were a real ape, it would throw its own poop at itself, and love doing it. I couldn't praise this movie more.Movie Review: This DVD is a flat version of a 3-D movie, but still fun
Summary: 4 Stars
A*P*E was filmed and originally released in 3-D, and isn't as interesting when seen in the flattened out version on DVD, but if you like bad, really bad movies, you need to see it! I love the shark, but the best has got to be the guinea pig painted to look like a cow...For maximum fun, track down the 3-D version.
