Mighty Joe Young - Original Theatrical Trailer

After a slick nightclub owner discovers the giant ape frolicking in Africa as the beloved pet of a young girl, he brings both to Hollywood as a floor-show sensation, until some no-goods ply Joe with booze and the blitzed behemoth goes bonkers. Highlights such as henchmen trying to lasso Joe cowpoke style, Joe playing tug-of-war with musclemen and plenty of Joe-to-the-rescue action make "Mighty Joe Young" mighty fine entertainment.

The most astounding movie since movies began! Which was like, 20 years prior to this movie coming out

[@MichaelWindleyS1b]

The song "Beautiful Dreamer " in the movie ! Was performed by who???

[@JohnDonovanProductions]

There had been tentative plans for a sequel called Joe Meets Tarzan where Joe Young would have met the iconic character , to be played by Lex Barker , who had completed Tarzan and the Slave Girl ( 1950 ) . Unfortunately , the perceived high costs for Mighty Joe Young put a stop to this .

[@gqshen1815]

I wish there was an animated series of Mighty Joe Young as well as a crossover movie called Gamera vs Mighty Joe Young

[@joshmontemayor6098]

Like with Tarzan, most people see the Disney version of Mighty Joe Young as the definitive version.

It would have been a great movie had it not been for that irritating actress (was. It Terry Moore?)shouting for half of the movie "Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe" I found myself telling her to "Shut up!"

[@Joemckenzie-85]

I watched this with my wife (we are both named joe lol) and yes the joe joe joe joe joe actress was very annoying to us both.
