Viewing Notes
This definitely goes on my bad movies I love list. There are so many things wrong with it, including the failed mechanical gorilla design that was mostly scrapped in favor of Rick Baker’s man-in-a-gorilla suit (which to his credit is actually pretty good), Jessica Lange’s dopey blonde ‘porn-star’ actress character, and the godawful giant snake.
Still, I can’t help but love this movie for all it’s stupidity and wrong-headedness.
