Ape-alling!

Words can't describe how hilarious this film turned out. I did a little bit of research and found out that it cost $50 million to make this film. What a hoot! I hope that cheque was written exclusively to Tim Curry for his fee, as he was the only saving grace of this farcical.

Me and my friends spent most of the time debating where we'd seen all of the black actors before. Each one ... read more

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick. Indeed, since I heard only bad things about this movie, I thought it would be something really bad. Eventually, even though it was indeed pretty average, it was definitely not the worst movie I have ever seen and I was (almost) positively surprised. In my opinion, if you don't take this movie too seriously, it is actually not completely awful and ... read more

Description: They've eluded heat-seeking missiles, gone eyeball-to-eyeball with enraged 5,000-pound hippos, hacked through a jungle curtain. Still, the expedition continues. Amy, a gorilla who was part of a university learning experiment, is at last returning home. A professor (Dylan Walsh), electronics expert (Laura Linney, The Truman Show) guide (Ernie Hudson), explorer (Tim Curry) and others follow the scampering ape. They know she will lead them to the place that's more than her home - it's the site of the fabled Lost City of Zinj and its diamond mines. But what they don't know can be fatal. Once they enter Zinj, they'll be the endangere ... (more)

"30.10.2018, tallenne Tämä oli jopa vähän parempi kuin odotin. Päärooleissa olisi voinut olla paremmat näyttelijät, mutta sentään sivosia esittävät Ernie Hudson ja Tim Curry olivat viihdyttäviä. Tässä oli välillä ihan kivaa seikkailun tuntua ja Bruce Campbell nähtiin pienessä roolissa alussa. "

"29.3. (DVD) Bruce Campbell löytää sinistä timanttipölyä, josta tehdään laserase. Joku nulikka on opettanut gorillan (ihmisen puvussa) puhumaan. Gorilla tahtoo Congoon muiden nekrujen luokse, ja tämän matkan päättää kustantaa Tim Curryn esittämä romanialainen bisnesmies Homolka. Matkan aikana selviää, että Holmolka tahtoo vain löytää Afrikan tähden, josta valkoiset gorillat suuttuvat. Onneksi Campbellin kehittämä laserase otetaan käyttöön, kun naistutkija päättää "

" Adventure movie about intelligent killer apes in Congo based upon Michael Crichton's possibly worst novel. This is also a bad film, but it has a memorable movie score and Bruce Campell's scream of death. Tim Curry also help the movie with a delicious camp approach to it adding a thick East European accent and playing the role as if he is a modern Bela Lugosi. The other actors are weak with Dylan Walsh standing out. Joe Pantoliano and Delroy Lindo even understood what kind of shitty movie this w"

" TITLE OF WRITTEN WORK: Congo PUBLISHED FORMAT: novel AUTHOR/CREATOR: Michael Crichton ORIGINAL PUBLICATION YEAR: 1980 HAVE I READ: Yes NOTES: The film adaptation was just awful and this is probably my least favorite of all Crichton's novels (yes, I have read everything he's penned under his own name...next up are the pseudonym novels).

" DVD- 1hr. 48min. First Viewing Congo is so ridiculous and poorly made that it is honestly pretty fun. If viewed in the right mood, it'll be a fun, "so bad its good" experience. As a film though, its quite bad. "
