I saw this film back in 76 with my dad. I got popcorn butter on the 3D glasses. Dad gave me his. Years later he mentioned that he didn't want to watch the rest of the film it was so bad. Being 6 years old I didn't know better. Regardless this film brought back a fun memory. Thanks Brandon
I think the utterly bored sounding "oh shit" is my absolute favorite thing from this, closely followed by A*P*E stepping over the toy cow, or him flipping off the chopper ...
Several years ago some friends and I found A*P*E at a local mom and pop video store and rented it at 1:00 am. By the time we got to the flipping off the camera shot we were all on the floor unable to breathe we were laughing so hard and it only got better/worse from there. A few years later I received A*P*E on DVD from one of those friends as a birthday present. It was one of the best movie watching experiences of our lives.
I watched when I was a child so were my brothers, it was freaking hilarious, we even reenact that scene very often when we played hahahaha good old times
14:27: Can't stop laughing at the looping in of the Butthead's voice when "A*P*E" is looking into the brothel. Aside from "A*P*E" flipping off the helicopter it just destroyed, there aren't nearly as many entertaining moments here when compared to "The Mighty Peking Man".
+KRhetor He also played Mickey the Gardener in that mess. Maybe not the greatest talent in Hollywood, but at least he put in the effort in that one; in A*P*E he was clearly either just collecting a weekend paycheck or suffering diminished capacities (or whatever it is we call it now when Grampa starts losing his marbles). Can you believe Kino Lorber's putting A*P*E on Blu-Ray?!?
Brandon, The villages in South Korea do have P.A. Systems in them. ( I know this from first hand knowledge, Spent a year in South Korea north of Munsan at Camp Greaves)
Didn't they say the ape is 36 feet tall? But the hanggliding man is tiny in comparison. Admittedly poor sense of scale doesn't seem to be the worst problem this film has...
9:00 - (Chris Hanson shows up) "Mr Horny Gorilla, why don't you have a seat over here... Horny Gorilla, that is the name you used in the chat room, isn't it?"
vapor dreams 翁萎円 I’ve been writing a fan book and all three are in it and just about every other giant monster I could find APE doesn’t fight pulgasari or yongary though
A*P*E (1976): The Ape flips the bird Rampage (2018): George flips the bird Now all we need is George in the sequel to Rampage fighting a mutant shark and a mutant snake, also referencing Rampage: Total Destruction (maybe have the shark named Marco and the snake named Kingston).
Why is it in absolutely every movie where planes and/or helicopters fight a giant monster they make every effort they can for their aircraft to be within meer inches of the monster for a long time instead of, oh I don't know, staying at a out of reach range and shoot the damn thing?
S*H*I*T What you won't do for the love of cult movies...I'll tell you what I won't do: actually watch this cinematic scat. You're a better man than I, Brandon.
No that's a ripoff of King Kong I personally wouldn't be surprised if King Kong himself showed up to shove a tree up his ass, stomp on his head, tear his arms and legs off, and throw him into a nuclear power plant and for good measure pick up thirty more nuke plants and throw them at him he'd be capable of this because giant gorilla so you see it's already been said fucking ripoff.
Between The ape flipping the bird, the ape tossing the snake and nearly knocking over the camera and most of all that cutaway with John Candy and the 3D pancakes I spit my drink out. Great review Brandon
Umm...Maybe the shark was meant to be portrayed as relaxed (not lifeless) by the director. Maybe that scene's not a fight scene. The alternative title for this movie is Attack of the Giant Horny Ape...
When I saw excerpts of this in the great compilation film It Came From Hollywood I couldn't believe that this was an actual film and was a parody, but it's very real. I've never heard it before It Came From Hollywood or seen it, apart from a few modern reviews. It looks like something that is more enjoyable if seen in clips than in its entirety.
Not to mention 2 shots with a bolt action rifle point blank into the screen without cycling the bolt at all. Lol lol lol. Love the tiny tim song at the end. You place that in so many reviews and everytime it goes on i laugh hysterically. Lol
The Asylum made a movie called Ape vs Monster. I wonder if that's meant to a sequel to this movie. It also has a monster that looks like the 1996 American godzilla.
Also, the ape throwing barrels? Why do I have the feeling that if this movie got a sequel, they would put in a scene in which the ape fights either a plumber or a group of crocodiles (including one wearing a crown and wielding a blunderbuss)?
If you don't mind me saying ( I hope I don't come off as a creep or something) that picture in the circle there is kinda hot ( again not trying to make anyone uncomfortable)
I love how in the American trailers and posters they put it as "Not to be confused with King Kong" but at the same time the Korean name for this film "킹콩의 대역습" translates as "King Kong's Raid"
I just noticed the Dutch subtitles in your video call this movie "King Kong komt in opstand" which translate to "King Kong Insurrection" best title ever 🥰
The most impressive 3D was the clip from SCTV! As a fellow Canadian, that was hilarious. Count Floyd's 3D horror theatre.....Awoooooooo........Scary stuff kids! Venture Bros rerferences are always welcome too.
I feel like this movie is literally just a King Kong movie if Kong had a more villainous role And I also think this is where the asylum got their ape inspiration for their GVK rip off, ape vs monster
Also, since the gorilla just ripped off Donkey Kong as well, he should also fight a fat crocodile wearing a cape and a crown. And when that happens, “Gangplank Galleon” or “Crocodile Cacophony” should play in the background.
think about all the people that give you shit for quality in general from the tiniest thing to the biggest, from handwriting to doing something on time etc thing of every time you scolded over everything ever then consider this reality breaking masterpiece
I saw a thumbnail of a giant ape giving us the middle finger. I had to watch this thing
+KrimsonVagus I own a book that uses the same image as its cover photo. It does grab one's attention, lol.
You weren't alone on that one lol.
Literally the only good part of the movie.
i'm Actolly suprised that they made the ape to give a middle finger . when i saw that i was laughing hard as shit

Cool story! So not a recommendation?
Guess Congo is still the best gorilla movie.
@@harrihaffi2713 It’s OK but I like to see the Peking Ape LOL
@@VolumedMusicMan the best of two worlds?
@@harrihaffi2713 I want to see Congo as well! Peiking ape was so bad that it was good😆
@@VolumedMusicMan I see. I’ll keep a eye out for it.
Okay, if the ape is that much taller than power lines and buildings, how fucking big was that shark supposed to be?
Maybe it's a megalodon?
What about that snake around the tree and the tree, how big was that?
Um plot hole ?
maybe it's a titanoboa
like 20m i think

Holy fuck that must have been fun
@@thesynthpub6511 I have never experienced its like since. It was great.
I watched when I was a child so were my brothers, it was freaking hilarious, we even reenact that scene very often when we played hahahaha good old times
I was watching Mark's bad movies and the flip killed me 😂 been on an ape review and flip binge ever since
A*P*E deserves a Cinematic Universe with The Giant Claw, & What Every Dollar Store Kaiju, WB, & Toho Rejected.
14:27: Can't stop laughing at the looping in of the Butthead's voice when "A*P*E" is looking into the brothel. Aside from "A*P*E" flipping off the helicopter it just destroyed, there aren't nearly as many entertaining moments here when compared to "The Mighty Peking Man".
The colonel is played by Alex Nicol, the director of The Screaming Skull.

Ape: 🖕
Brandon: Hey, right back at ya, movie. 🖕😏
Me: I double that. 🖕 😎🖕
I'm disappointed that no Ape vs. Yongary movie was ever made.
That would be a rip off of King Kong vs Godzilla.
So am i
A*P*E vs. Yonggary vs. Pulgasari
@@vapordreams983 We need a Bootleg Cinematic Universe.

Nothing says menacing like the music of Tiny Tim.
13:52 Back at ya movie!
Oh shiit!
A*P*E (1976): The Ape flips the bird
Rampage (2018): George flips the bird
Now all we need is George in the sequel to Rampage fighting a mutant shark and a mutant snake, also referencing Rampage: Total Destruction (maybe have the shark named Marco and the snake named Kingston).
oh boy this makes Manos Hands of Fate feel like Casablanca :D
Do Something! God
meh this one is not that bad actually
I wouldn’t go _that_ far.
Manos is good
0:21 you legit made me wish life was that simple,THANKS BRANDON,Imma go cry now goshDANGIT-
Thanks for including clips - in most of these review things the guy just talks and talks and talks.
14:30 I guess you can call that a mighty PEEKING man. Whoo! I'm good 😎!
I remember seeing a picture of that shot a few years ago, with the caption "Mighty Peeping Tom"...
+Adiraiju I will certainly have to search for that image lol.
11:26 R*A*P*E
Ok, that was clever
Tyrant Gregcag d
Wow, I thought the random Americans they cast for Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah were bad...
Not nearly bad as that Canadian soldier guarding that Ww2 memorial
This might surprise you but this isn't the worst giant ape movie. That would be The Mighty Gorga.
No, that would be king of the lost world by the asylum
Queen Kong?
Ape vs. Monster or Konga TNT (the remake of Konga)?
Thumbs up for the Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Pancakes clip!
Care for some more...SYRUP?!
Would you like some more......................PANCAKES!!??!!?!??!!?!!!?!??!??!??
SCARY!!! HA HA HA!
Count Floyd's Monster Chiller Horror Theater was the best! Especially in 3-D.... oooh, scary!
Well, this makes "The Thicke of the Night" look better by comparison, doesn't it?
Review Daigoro vs. Goliath. You'll get a kick out of that.
Why is it in absolutely every movie where planes and/or helicopters fight a giant monster they make every effort they can for their aircraft to be within meer inches of the monster for a long time instead of, oh I don't know, staying at a out of reach range and shoot the damn thing?
I know right!
For the same reason why teens go into the basement during a horror film. If they didn't there would be no more conflict or film.
@@Mrbananasgfan I do not understand fear the same way humans understand fear. I'm sorry.
They want to be close enough for the monster to see them give it the finger?
Shin gojira did it right.
And they have NOW (FEB 28 2017) released this movie in 3D. Thanks for letting me know what crap it is.
13:53 Absolutely my favorite scene in the movie.
It's the only thing that makes it memorable
This and the "Oh Shit" scene are fucking hilarious. 🤣💀
All those Star Wars ripoffs, please review them especially Star Odyssy, I want to see more of that chick in the fetish wear
I think reviews for "Konga" or "The Mighty Gorga" are warranted at this point.
Don't forget the Konga "reboot", Konga TNT! It's got even worse special effects!
Oh, and Brandon should also review Ape vs. Monster.
S*H*I*T
What you won't do for the love of cult movies...I'll tell you what I won't do: actually watch this cinematic scat. You're a better man than I, Brandon.
Did king Kong just point the middle finger up?!
No that's a ripoff of King Kong I personally wouldn't be surprised if King Kong himself showed up to shove a tree up his ass, stomp on his head, tear his arms and legs off, and throw him into a nuclear power plant and for good measure pick up thirty more nuke plants and throw them at him he'd be capable of this because giant gorilla so you see it's already been said fucking ripoff.
@@ericmurfin7217 Even better: Have King Kong team up with Godzilla to beat the ape up.
NoT tO bE cOnFuSeD wItH kInG kOnG
Now imagine if in GxK, King Kong flips the bird at the Skar King or Shimo.
The wrecking sound sounds like the sound that goes with the transformations in the original Transformers. Weird.
"Wait,Let Me Think of my line!" I can never stop laughing at that part.
Between The ape flipping the bird, the ape tossing the snake and nearly knocking over the camera and most of all that cutaway with John Candy and the 3D pancakes I spit my drink out. Great review Brandon
10:49-11:19. I freaking laughed for 10 minutes straight.
OMG same that was actually hilarious
Seeing him that way just made me sadder for him
The snake throwing scene, holy shit I can't. The way he just casually tosses it, and it just smacks off of, and moves the camera.
oh that poor leopard must of been soo embarased
2:26 crucial moment in film history
Yes!!! Dr. Tongue, so glad you put that clip in lol
Would you like some more SYRUP!!?!!
10:14 lol omg the SCTV part had me rolling. Awesome add in.
I know things were tough in Hollywood back in the '70's, but... I didn't think it was so tough that Joanna Kerns had to do something like this.
Things were bad in the 70’s?
@@harrihaffi2713 Yes, due to the Unwinable Vietnam War and oil crisis.
@@Nestalgba92023 oh... Never thought of it’s affect on the movie industry
I liked how the ROK soldier has the Fallout 4 two shot perk for his bolt action rifle...in 3d of course.
This movies *NEEDS* to be remade!
Umm...Maybe the shark was meant to be portrayed as relaxed (not lifeless) by the director. Maybe that scene's not a fight scene. The alternative title for this movie is Attack of the Giant Horny Ape...
His reviews are the funniest! I eagerly await each new review :)
13:50 can’t stop laughing
I laughed hard as hell when Ape slapped the helicopter, causing it to deflect, and into Canyon wall
And the middle finger loloolololol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So were the shark and the snake giants too?

I actually saw this movie... fortunately, it was on RUclips. Well... your review video was a lot more fun to sit thru.
4:52: Coming soon: A*P*E fights against a guy in a fat crocodile suit with a crown.
Also, the ape flipping the bird reminds me of George from the movie adaptation of Rampage.
Is it sad that the guy's never been in any other film, and, yet, the Col.'s my favorite character?
Just discovered this channel like 2 days ago great reviews and videos bro very entertaining
