Horror producer Herman Cohen, the genius behind Trog, Berserk, and the immortal I Was a Teenage Werewolf, here brings the world giant-ape action with a British twist. Konga is, of course, a King Kong rip-off, but the filmmakers are so refreshingly brazen about it that it's hard to mind. Botanist Dr. Charles Decker returns from Africa with some brand-new plants and an adorable chimpanzee buddy named Konga. Decker has some revolutionary ideas about "finding the first link in modern evolution between plant and animal life," but don't think about them too much, they'll just give you a headache. The upshot is that Decker develops a serum that makes Konga grow really big. (Primatology fans will be interested to note that Decker's serum also mysteriously turns Konga from a chimpanzee into a gorilla. The wonders of science are myriad.) Alas, like so many of his horror-movie-scientist brethren, Decker is a cold-hearted, ruthless creep who soon has the superstrong Konga doing his evil bidding. In addition to its guy-in-a-gorilla-suit pleasures, Konga offers poorly scaled dolls of the lead characters, fetching giant Venus flytrap puppets, and a genuinely good performance by Michael Gough as the ever more evil Dr. Decker. --Ali Davis

Customer Reviews of Konga

"Pip Pip old chap..it's a BIG GO-RILLA!"
I came upon this film (?) on Showtime by accident. Mercifully, I only caught the last 5 minutes of it. Okay, so there's this GIANT gorilla, or more so, a man in a GIANT gorilla suit! He's holding a "doll", which, supposedly, is representing the star of the flick. Anyway, the R.A.F. or some Brit militia opens up with a volley of tracer bullets. Now, you'd think, since about 90 percent of the shots are MISSING there target, some officer would yell, "HEY...aim a "smidge" lower lads". Not so. Anyway, the 10 percent of shots that DO hit Konga finally bring him down. Oh, oh, he THROWS his "doll" first! Anywho, the ONLY thing that would have made a better ending would be, if The Beatles (circa. 1961'ish) came out, stood on top of the dead monkey, and SANG! In closing, this film makes "Plan 9 From Outer Space" look like "CITIZEN KANE"


Better than I expected
I found "Konga" to be an enjoyable horror film. Michael Gough does a good job as the ruthless, conniving scientist. He's really outrageous. "Konga" probably did not have a large budget, hence the simple special effects. But in a strange way, they add to the charm of the picture. A nice little gem of a movie. Somewhat hammy, but fun.


Konga
Even though "Konga" was filmed in 1961 and not in the 1950s it is still a good movie worth watching. Now I am well aware of the fact that some people called it "Another Ape Movie" but what can I say? Except, that opinions are like noses: Everybody's got one. And now, as far as "Konga" is concerned, well, in my own personal opinion I think that ranks right up there with the original "King Kong" movie of the 1930s-or else I would not have not have bought it because I am very particular about what I watch-and very picky about the movies that I purchase.
