(imdb)QUEEN KONG-1976-Inane British musical comedy take-off of King Kong, (the Dino DeLaurentis bomb was made the same year). A bitchy director (Rula Lenska) and her all female crew set out for Africa to film a movie. She "shanghaies" an imbecile con man Ray Fay (Robin Askwith) to be the star. Some "native" dancers sing "Kong! Kong! Kong!" but the director says it has no significance. Then like Linda Blair, their heads spin and they vomit pea soup. On the island of Nabongas, the chief (Valerie Leon; BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB) takes a liking to the imbecile Ray. Nearly unwatchable thanks to the purposely awful cliche script and tongue in cheek acting, a giant gorilla (man in a suit) does show up. Linda Hayden plays a singing nun.
Director Frank Agrama made one movie after this, THE DAWN OF THE MUMMY in 1981. Much later he was involved in producing games and videos featuring the anime “Robotech”.
Thanks for reading!
