Cutting from, “it’s better than …Bond movie.” To a scene of the president talking to a chimp on a watch made me laugh without proper preparation for its accuracy
1) Anyone who encounters a baboon IRL should know that they should be properly terrified and extremely wary. 2) This unlocked a hidden memory for me. I guess I saw The Ivory Ape when I was a kid, because I remember this. Neat!
Finally someone points out how mean spirited in ending for Konga is. Like, did the girl have to get her arm eaten by the plant? It's just a weird thing to add in there. Like, the actress was like "i can't be in the last act of this movie so just write me out of it". Anyhoo, its a fun video. If you ever do a follow up, I would suggest checking out 1986's Link. The orangutan (although they dye the animal black and give him prosthetic ears so he resembles a chimp), is just amazing in the movie. The animal is so intelligent and really does everything that his trainer had him trained to do. Fun little horror flick.
This is a really great format. Let you have the freedom to pick out anything you think is remarkable or have an idea for an amusing edit while making you stay within a broad limitation. Really suits your style well. Great video chief, be proud of yourself.
Great and interesting marathon review man! Lol Going bananas and Spymate look freaking hilarious for how ridiculous the premise is. I've herd of Mighty Peking man but still haven't seen it yet. Keep up the great work
When it comes to the Peaking man, the actress purposefully made her costume more skimpy than what the director had originally planned. The director was shocked but went with it.
About five years ago I was in a class where groups had to watch a movie or documentary. One group got Planet Of The Apes. I was the oldest in that class while much of it was early 20s. I'd known the ending before seeing the full movie in middle school. Well imagine my supreme delight when it turned out that group, I think much of the class too, was shocked by the twist it turned out. "His destiny."
I felt real bad for you getting all the way through the Horror box set, I had that one too, For its $12 price I thought I had got a bargain, but it was appalling
This a p good watch, got me curious about some films. Gotta say Shakma always been an odd fav of mine, growing up studying animals had me realize “huh. yea. would be scary getting ripped a new one by a drugged primate-“ though thats more chimp territory than baboon in fear factor Can’t wait to see what else ya do, these vids are great bg noise when i’m drawing
The Ivory Ape and you don’t recognize or mention Jack Palance? He was going through the dip in his career at this time before his resurgence thanks to Batman and Coty Slickers. He’s a fantastic over-actor!
I really... didn't like Rampage. It's a passable monster flick, but the main appeal I had with the Rampage games was it's heavy focus on comedic tones. Yes the monsters destroy things and eat people, but even with the Atari games, there is this implication that the worst thing that happens beyond the destruction is everyone gets comically banged up, as well as the monsters being once-humans who are on a rampage specifically against SCUM Labs, so there is a purpose and direction to it all. The movie lacks the comedic tone and is overly focused on the violence and, honestly, the gore. Adding to it, had the monsters not been given the names of the main classic monsters, we wouldn't know it's supposed to be them as they look nothing like them with Lizzie being especially alien in comparison as she's supposed to basically be the Godzilla knockoff, but here she's obviously a crocodile.
Very interesting video. I'll be looking for the second part. If you want a different monkey movie to cover next time, try "Max, Mon Amour", Nagisa Oshima's penultimate film.
😮i was really hoping to find the Tony Danza/monkey movie i know i saw (in a theatre, yet!) but no one else seems to remember...there were about a dozen of us, from the hospital, and it was a fun day out, so at least that many other people know it exists!!
You can't chalk 26:00 up as an editing error. You can clearly see the cue mark. This is just a bad changeover from a damaged tail to a damaged head of the film.
37:35 Its heavily implied the villianess is supposed to be from North Korea, but the writers pussed out because of national tensions going on during the 60s
There js been plenty of men in Ape suits but during the Original (and still the best ) Battlestar Galactica you had a chimpanzee in a Daggit suit. In Battlestar Galactica Cylon Attack (a compilation of a couple of episodes that still got a theatrical release) there is a scene where it was meant to run across a bridge during an action scene. The Pyrotechnics scared it so much it tore across the bridge a climbed into the rafters of the sound stage and it took several hours to get it down
I feel like for the grief over the natives in the first King Kong I also feel like they are the most fleshed out. Brave warriors throwing spears at Kong, we see several suffer at Kongs teeth and foot, a mom grabs her child before Kong steps on him. Natives in 70 felt a bit more...foreign. Not sure how to describe it. Like we're watching them in the bushes and never try to talk to them. THEN there's 2005 natives and they're Orcs. Great An and Kong from 2005.
There's a certain merit to the treatment of the natives in '05 as well. Jackson wanted to really lean into just how utterly horrible Skull Island is and how it makes every inhabitant who tries to survive there into something just as monsterous as everything else. That the biome threshes through even the spark of humanity's grace until even we are rendered into the most terrifying version of ourselves. The humans are inhumane, and the most compassionate thing on the island is its master, Kong. Try to over-correct on that treatment and you end up with the natives in Kong: Skull Island, who are so nice it jacknifes right into the tone set by everything else living on the island.
*A*P*E is a so bad it's a must see but wasn't in the vid..just for the poor acting ..especially in the beginning ..the deadpan ohhh sh 🤬 kills me everytime. 🤣
55:02 Very nice chest, I wonder who drew that? 🤔 That aside, good vid! Some of these monkey movies look like real snoozefests, but I’d also enjoy/have enjoyed a good number of em too! Rampage in particular.
@@CoyKiyote In another reply, I mentioned how that was originally in the lineup but I couldn't find a version in good quality. Considering a blu ray release exists, I could use that.
And rampage is really good movie The monsters are basically really cool with upgrades like George White hair Ralphs having a gradeability and Lizzie basically like a tank just destroying everything
Shakma is basically extremely gruesome using a real baboon it’s basically kind of horrifying if I got Drugs making it more faster and scarier like I will probably pee my pants level
If you like stories about horrifying monkeys I recommend the book Man After Man, there’s a pdf online, it’s a story about the evolution of the most terrifying primate, humanity after an ecological disaster: ruclips.net/video/c44kM8125WU/видео.html
"no one's heard of Ivory Ape", me, who added the ivory ape itself to the Ultra Wiki: "Yeah tell me about it"
Sorry Manilla. :(
I love how absolutely bewildered Shakma looks when he's sitting still
He's just a little guy who wants the female monkey they kept off screen to control him
“Baboons aren’t scary” I bet many humans and even some animals like Cheetahs can counter that claim

Thank you for calling how somehow EVEN WORSE the natives in the 2005 Kong rendition are
Great vid and formatted very entertainingly, you deserve more subs!
Some say MIB is still trapped in that Gorilla suit to this day

I actually considered Link for the video, but I wanna give that movie a visual treatment that isn't 144p. There's always next time.

That Kong remake moved like molasses. That boat ride felt like it was shot in real time.
36:13
The Room and its consequences have been a disaster for humanity.
Reject humanity, return to monke
Rampage was one hell of a pleasant surprise! I barely heard anything about it then I see Lizzie and Ralph in the trailer and I'm feeling it.
This a p good watch, got me curious about some films. Gotta say Shakma always been an odd fav of mine, growing up studying animals had me realize “huh. yea. would be scary getting ripped a new one by a drugged primate-“ though thats more chimp territory than baboon in fear factor
Can’t wait to see what else ya do, these vids are great bg noise when i’m drawing
In the original ending of Rampage, george was supposed to die. But the rock changes the ending so it won't be depressing.
You think Going Bananas is frantic? Wait until you see Robot In The Family
The 18th movie that broke RedLetterMedia
The Ivory Ape and you don’t recognize or mention Jack Palance? He was going through the dip in his career at this time before his resurgence thanks to Batman and Coty Slickers.
He’s a fantastic over-actor!

I like the idea Ultra Q being an unofficial prequel to King Kong.

I would honestly love to see the recording of you and your friends riffing on konga

Definitely a fun collection of monkey movies. Some were classic, some were problematic, some were just AWFUL. But all of them were MONKE!

@@BobExcalibur nice to know you’re willing to justify racist depictions of indigenous peoples. Blocked.
not my hekkin indigerinos
36:59 where there's a whip there a way. Was always stuck in my head and I love it.
Good to see you too enjoy some David Lynch weirdness. His quinoa video is my all-time favorite short film of all time.
Another quality video as always. If you do a Part 2 I highly suggest Mighty Joe Young ('49) and Monkey Magic the Movie ('07).
These are great videos. So much funny and researched info. Edited great too. Great stuff
Shakma the movie where the main monster can be taken down with a lead pipe.
Could the mystery nation in the Toho Kong Sequel be connected to Red Bamboo somehow?
Wait a minute thats kaijunoirs old theme song I didn't know it was perry mason
26:24 Sammy Petrillo really does sound like 🤓
Every monkey movie fan has to watch the film Link at some point.
*A*P*E is a so bad it's a must see but wasn't in the vid..just for the poor acting ..especially in the beginning ..the deadpan ohhh sh 🤬 kills me everytime. 🤣
21:13. You obviously have not heard what they are capable of irl...or seen the footage...
Can you do a video when you review bigfoot movies
Deny Humanity, Become Monke
Dom Deliuse was once popular enough to have his own TV show.
I loved Th e Mighty Peking Man and. The Ivory Ape.
Ha ha kook at this monkey (inhale) (gibberish)
In the Rampage segment, why don't you call the wolf and alligator Ralph and Lizzie?
welcome back to mambazamba(?) land
42:32 you also forgot the animated series
Excellent Garoga Gorilla cameo
No the Duke Mitchell becomes the gorilla. Not Petrillo.
We stan Gorosaurus in this house!
Also he’s closer to an Allosaurus 🤓
Facts
Wild but fun though !!!!
55:02 Very nice chest, I wonder who drew that? 🤔
That aside, good vid! Some of these monkey movies look like real snoozefests, but I’d also enjoy/have enjoyed a good number of em too! Rampage in particular.
Damn some of these movies sound painful to watch lol
I like these long movie videos
You missed Goin’ Ape and Dunston Checks In!
They're being considered for the next one of these, lol.
@@ZaGorudan if you go with that orangutan theme, you can include the horror movie Link

Comment for the algorithm
Wow this new Monkey Box sure is kino (a lil reference for all the Mumkey Jones/Simian Jimmy fans who may be watching this video 👀)
Please do a planet of the apes series overview!
Have you seen Night of the blood ape?
Huh. I always see the Rock as a horrible CGI half man / half scorpion for some reason.
No "A*P*E*"? :(
Mmmm monke
IES King Kong the OG movie monster before Godzilla and after Frankenstein count Dracula the Wolfman the visible man and many more
Yeah to me go bananas is basically dumb
And rampage is really good movie The monsters are basically really cool with upgrades like George White hair Ralphs having a gradeability and Lizzie basically like a tank just destroying everything
1 ad Break it’s a basically mix they use a chimpanzee that’s good and it’s funny but it’s really old the CGI is really old and extremely kid friendly
Shakma is basically extremely gruesome using a real baboon it’s basically kind of horrifying if I got Drugs making it more faster and scarier like I will probably pee my pants level
