This is such a terrible bad take off of king king that was made during our Centennial ,but, it is so bad that it becomes quit entertaining for laughs and jokes.It take itself too seriously .this is what makes it funny.The 3D save this movie,since it was shot in space vision 3D and not converted .There is so much human character development and less Kong action,due to low budgetidus.If Kong invaded north Korea it would of been a democracy today,but it he invades south Korea instead .The big Hollywood actress going up their ,played by Johanna Kerns,is also doing a low budget film about a women's boyfriend who wants to rape her all the time,which is eventually disrupted by king Kong.Funny there is a scene in which a hooker and client is going to her room and is disrupted by king Kong .About near the end of the scene you almost hear the directer say," cut!that needed a little more trimming.You see the captain Kim, played by Nak Hun Lee, claiming that Kong has killed and injured most of his people and yet all you see is Korean extras just running and don't see king smashing and chewing up humans.This Kong ,looks like a stuff toy gorilla, just takes his time scaring the Koreans and smashing building down.This movie is also slow moving too.Tom Rose ,played by Rod Arrants reporter,the boyfriend of the top actress,comes to Korea too to look for the story . the top actress seems not to be so scared of king Kong,as fay Wray was.Other problems Technically is that, for some reason,the beginning credit titles is printed on the left side only making it a bit transparent and the end credits are flat,good for laughs,like Robot Monster.03/21.17 ,7:12pm central,Made a boo boo.The scene where you almost heard the directors voice,cause it was not trimmed enough , is when Tom Brings his Actress Girl friend to Captains Kim's apartment .Near the end of that scene you almost hear the directors voice.

This film begins with an obvious toy boat being destroyed by a guy in a cheap gorilla suit--the sort you'd rent for just a few dollars at a costume shop. Then, he proceeds to destroy a bunch of buildings that look even cheaper and sillier than those found in the Japanese giant monster films from Toho Studios! Most of the time, he moves about in super-slow motion and does a whole lot of nothing. And, as he does not much at all, you hear circus-like music. This time, however, the movie is a bit different, as the extras are all Korean AND their command of English is amazingly bad--so bad that it's rather funny to hear some of them stumble over even the simplest words.Sadly, however, as the movie progresses, you learn that the cheap sets and guy in the gorilla suit and Koreans who can't speak English are the BEST aspects of the film!! That's because the acting is abysmal, the editing was done by a chimp, many scenes featuring screaming Korean peasants went on too long, the music highly inappropriate as well as annoying and the dialog is among the worst I've ever heard. Believe me, Ed Wood couldn't have made a gorilla film any worse than this (including his own BRIDE AND THE MONSTER).There are unnecessary subplots involving a rather bland-looking actress and her boyfriend as well as a Colonel who is a total idiot (and needs a good haircut to even remotely look military) and curses CONSTANTLY--possibly more than any character in the 1970s. Aside from these stupid subplots, the rest of the film is essentially KING KONG but set in a Korea that is chock-full of crappy sets.Overall, there really is nothing to recommend this film--unless you really need to see a guy in a gorilla suit flipping off the army (I kid you not--this REALLY happened in the movie). It's so bad, that it's a film almost exclusively for bad movie fans. It's also a great film for Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange or Dino De Laurentiis to watch so that they can see that by comparison, the poor 1976 KING KONG film is like a Merchant-Ivory production! However, I do NOT recommend that Kim Jong-Il see the film--he might be tempted to nuke South Korea, since they were responsible for this atrocity of a movie!

Despise the crappy special effects, the poor acting and the repetitive stock footage Ape will always be a fun b-grade comedy that is crazily enjoyable on so many levels. The story starts out on a toy boat with 2 sailors talking about what there going to do with this 36 foot tall monster. We then see the Ape break loss and crash the boat, he then swims out to the ocean and fights a giant shark but the shark doesn't attack since its not really a shark its just a play toy in which the Ape throws around and wrestle with. Ape then invades land and scares children, fights a giant snake, and trashes down buildings oh and I forgot to mention that he even give the finger to a plane oh and he even dances to music for some strange reason. So as you can see there's plenty of fun yet there's plenty of long, boring and pointless scenes which might annoy the average viewers but hang in there, when Ape's on screen nothings funnier..Ape is also available in 3D so catch that version if you can..
