This movie puts EVEN the original Kong to shame! T-Rex looked like a child's toy! When Gorga exerts himself with fighting "dinosaurs" or chasing villagers, he sounded like he needed an inhaler! Then, when the circus owner was dealing with the rifle being jammed, Gorga stood there like he was waiting to get shot! And when the circus owner and the female trekker were in the nest, a piercing scream was heard, but her mouth was covered by her hand! Wonder how much money this farce when in the theaters?

The mighty gorga sounded like a good movie,the first time i seen it it was hosted by Elvira,mistress of the dark.it starts off OK,but when the mighty gorga shows up,oh boy its a guy in a k-mart bought ape mask. and then he fights a t-Rex,that is another cheap looking costume.the only good special fx is the creature in the cave(stock footage from Goliath and the dragon)this is a lot worse then plan 9 from outer space. too bad mst3k isn't on anymore this would be perfect for that.i feel bad for the actors who did this.especially Anthony eisly.this ones so cheesy and so cheap.i wonder what the directer was thinking when he filmed it. the mighty gorga is the bottom of the barrel.one out of 10.

Oh, boy, what can I say? The worst giant ape suit ever shown in a movie, and the horribly fake looking, obviously plastic T-rex (and this is coming from a guy who actually found the mechanical sharks in each of the JAWS movies convincing). Think of how much more laughable this would have been if the movie had been about the Tyrannosaurus. It may well have rivaled THE GIANT CLAW for silliest monster movie ever. Forget KING KONG LIVES, _this_ is the worst giant ape flick that has ever been released. A must-see if you're a bad movie fan.

**Possible Spoilers Ahead**This five-cent fiasco was directed by the same dude who gave us THE WIZARD OF MARS and GALLERY OF HORRORS. Many of the cast were associates of the infamous Al Adamson. It's been called the worst King Kong rip-off ever made and I won't dispute that accusation for a minute. Anthony Eisley, the owner of a nearly bankrupt circus, journeys to the African jungle (Bronson Canyon) to capture The Mighty Gorga. This critter is guy in a giant gorilla suit with painted-on mis-aligned eyes. Normal-sized gorillas seen earlier in a zoo are scarier than Gorga but then, Curious George is scarier than Gorga. Eisley and sour-pussed heroine Megan Timothy are also menaced by the local Indians. (Timothy sagely explains that Indians belong in South America, not Africa, but no explanation for their presence is ever given.) Other fun stuff: bloodless gunshot wounds, bad acting, dumb dialogue, volcano and cave-dragon scenes cribbed from other films, and a toy tyrannosaurus that lays big purple eggs. (The origin of Barney? Or did director Hewitt expect to premiere this masterpiece on Easter?) By the way, what kind of crazy clown would pay to see a cock-eyed gorilla in a circus? Probably a crazy clown like myself who paid to see it on tape.
