| Plot Outline
Luce Habit (Rula Lenska) is filming in the jungle when her leading "man" walks out. Her agent is unable to come up with a replacement so Luce goes to London to search for a new male lead. She finds Ray Fay (Robin Askwith) - boy! does that name keep cropping up in these pages! Luce drugs him and takes him to the jungle island Lazanga "where they do the conga" to finish the film. On the island, they discover a village of maidens led by a bikini clad High Priestess (Valerie Leon). They decide Ray is a far more appetizing sacrifice to Queen Kong so they kidnap him and place him inside a giant cake for Queenie to eat. Of course, instead of eating Ray she falls in love with him. Like the original, Queen Kong is captured and taken back to London this time - and all hell breaks loose.......
Ok, this film is sooo bad - it's good! They have got to release it on DVD. The first thing to hit you is the opening credits song - I can't even try to type the lyrics - take my word, it's the most irritatingly, catchy tune ever to "grace" the silver screen. The film is riddled with bad jokes and movie spoofs. One of my favorite movie subjects is special effects and all I can say is the "Blue Peter" team must have been working overtime on this film. The words "old cornflake packets", "sticky tape" and Val's "old knicker elastic" spring to mind. Ray Harryhausen does not have to worry about his job! Oh! I almost forgot, Linda's cameo role is a singing nun - in a spoof of the Airport/Airplane movies - she is onboard a 747 landing at London (the singing lessons at Aida Foster's were not wasted!). She meets a horrible fate as the plane crashes into a 64' gorilla. Guess who? At this point, I have to say; were British Producers/Scriptwriters vying with each other to find the most ghastly way to "dispatch" Linda - By the pitchfork in "Satan's Claw", a messy car crash in "Night Watch", a bolt through the heart in "Vampira", a pitchfork (again!) in "Madhouse" and by the knife in "House on Straw Hill" and "Boys from Brazil"? The British Film Industry should be ashamed of itself! |
