Hmmm, I’m sensing a theme here.

    Ed Wood? Huh, don’t think I’ve even heard of this one. I wonder if it falls into berserk (Plan 9, Bride of the Monster) or just damned dull (Jail Bait).

    Now you’re posting my honeymoon photos. Give a guy a break…

    The bride appears to have the face of Dudley Manlove.

    Well, it is an Ed Wood film. Maybe that’s the ‘surprise’ they don’t want you to reveal?

    ‘Snips and snails and gorilla tails…’

  • Now here’s a poster I need as a wallpaper for my computer.

    It’s because of the monkey.

    Seriously.

    Because.

    Of.

    The.

    Monkey.

    It’s more solid than Wood’s directed films, as is often the case when another director works from one of Ed’s scripts. The bulk of it is a safari epic built around footage from another movie about killer tigers in India, the new film being about killer tigers that escape into the African jungle (which kill Indians who happen to be living in Africa!).

    I recently got to see this one. The gorilla stuff is actually fairly minimal. Basically, it’s used to bookend a more typical safari movie.

    There is a Rifftrax version to help with the pain.

    I have watched it a couple of times and still don’t really understand what happened. Had fun anyways.

  • Rock Baker

    It’s a serviceable jungle picture on the whole. It’s the gooftacular first reel that secures it a place of relative fame, though.

  • bgbear_rnh

    BTW new wife, did I tell you about the gorilla in the basement?

  • bgbear_rnh

    Please don’t tell what happens to the bride

    Yes, it really is not very polite to kiss and tell.

  • Ken_Begg

    It’s cute the way Patty holds you, though.

  • Ken_Begg

    Nah, he knew women were only good for “advancing the race.”

    It the first Gorilla that has all angora fur for some reason.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Well, that’s sad news. Why have a gorilla in your movie and then barely use it?

  • Eric Hinkle

    Well, the British did bring a lot of Indians over to help manage their African colonies. A few decades back my brother spoke to a guy who spent several years in Africa. Brother remembered him saying that the Africans didn’t mind the British so much but they hated the Indians. ‘They swaggered through the streets like little tin gods’ was how he put it.
