At the dentist part I was hoping it would be an actually funny scene where you see a closeup of the witch-doctor's face, then it zooms out and you see he has scrubs on and it's a proper dentists office.
@nikoincroatia That would mean that maybe someone like the Cohen Brothers did a re-write of that one scene... Your observation would actually be a funny moment in this unfunny (ahem) "film". I could definitely see that getting a laugh out of me!
Batman v. Superman was actually...long diatribe about how a shitty movie by a director who understands Superman about as well as Frank Miller understands Wonder Woman is actually brilliant, and how people who like Superman in the comics just don't understand Snyder's shitty vision.
Apparently the script writers can't tell the difference between month and year. Just like how no one in this film can tell the difference between a monkey and a midget in a cheap costume
You have to give Dom Delouise credit for doing his best in every role he was given. I'd say he's the best actor here, along with the lion and the elephant.
I would like to note that the original books this was based on were _nothing_ like that. They actually started as a series of stories on a popular children’s magazine back in 1951, then turned into a book series that spanned several decades (1957-2014), not just one book. It was about a talking monkey, the eponymous Kofiko (from קוֹף _kof_ ‘monkey’ in Hebrew, plus _-iko_ which is the Ladino equivalent of Spanish _-ito_ even though the author was Ashkenazi) from some exotic island that somehow found its way to an average middle class family in Petakh Tikva (a city adjacent to Tel-Aviv), based on the author’s early life, and it chronicles his various shenanigans in various situations (basically every bit of mischief that was too embarrassing to attribute to an actual child). It was a classic here in Israel, it was adapted to a popular TV series in the 1990s and then got a revival in 2009 that lasted three seasons. Kofiko’s cousin Chipopo got his own book series as well, but it focused more on his works as a detective travelling the world and helping children in need. The author, Tamar Bornstein-Lazar, passed away just two days ago, at the age of 93, in the same neighbourhood she grew up in. People everywhere in the country are mourning her now.
I imagine a Golan and Globus brainstorming session as two Tommy Wiseus clumsily transcribing the plot of whatever happens to be on their TV. The room is of course a 70's nightmare of decoration that could rival anything seen in 'The Guy From Harlem'.
This movie came on tv once when I was a kid and, no joke, I cried my eyes out when they were going to leave Bonzo in Africa. I still kinda teared up watching it now... Thank you, Menahem Golan.
These are my most favorite Snob episodes where he is unabashedly angry at viewing what is essentially a film that should not exist! I would compare him to the Bill Corbett-era Crow T. Robot for his similar hysterical short-fused venom and hilarious comments! Also, one of Brad's best outbursts occurs at 13:05!
+SpeedyEric1 thanks you. I'd like to add these words "A Troll in Central Park AND The Magic Voyage are Citizen Kane and Gone With the Wind compared to this pile of feces!!
He reviews the real bad movies like this, he is less crazy, he is less whiny, he is such a snob! I LIKE HIM! He is way better then the Nostalgia critic!
@@4Legacyabsolutely not. He actually has real and balanced opinions of his own and is funny and not irritating whereas the nostalgia critic is just whiny annoying, piggy backs off of everyone else's opinions about things and is a hypocrite about everything. So no
@Nickr3000 well, I'm not defending him as the greatest thing ever. And yeah, he piggybacks some opinions and jokes, but it's free entertainment. Not really worth being upset and bitter at the guy for it lol
*waves* I'm from Africa. "The True African language. Screaming a lot" Actually..... yeah. That's pretty accurate also; only foreigners call it a 'safari'.
Three interesting things on this movie's IMDb page: 1. No budget nor box-office figures given (I'm guessing because both are embarrassingly low). 2. France saw this released a full six months before American audiences. 3. The whole thing was shot in Africa, so it does have kinship with Nukie.
The one bright point that I can give this movie is that they at least didn't get an actual chimpanzee or something to play the role of Bonzo. I have zero doubts that the animal would have been abused or mistreated somehow given how little faith I have left in humanity.
8:50 "Lom is yearning for the days where he only had to deal with Inspector Clouseau" I don't know, given how Herbert Lom's last run in with anything Clouseau related was Curse of the Pink Panther and his next would be Son of the Pink Panther, I almost feel like Herbert Lom got off kinda easy here.
The boy in this movie is the same boy who played in in a 85-86' episode remake of the Twilight Zone TV serie's! He played in the episode Examination Day!
lol, I vaguely remember seeing this as a kid. The only scene I could recall though is when the monkey rescues the kid from scorpions. I guess the rest of the flick was so traumatic that it became a repressed memory. That voice and suit are pretty damn terrifying.
Yikes... that thing looks like Chaka from Land of the Lost had a child with that creepy bird creature from The Neverending Story 2, Nimbly. Imagining Clyde the orangutan riding a horse, flying through the air, laughing and.... talking... isn't much better though. Least Clyde had the sense to turn the thing down (poor Dom...).
It took until the end of the review, but seeing the monkey jump from the dock to the ship reminded me that I did, in fact, see this movie when I was a kid. One of the few movies that Snob has done that I have seen, even if I didn't remember it.
What was with 1987 giving us such super-shitty movies? (This was the same year that gave us "Nukie", "Leonard Part 6", "Jaws: The Revenge", "Superman IV: The Quest For Peace" and "Garbage Pail Kids The Movie")
Hey Brad! Great review as always! But you missed a few potentially good jokes at 2:42! While the G.W. Bailey reference was great, take a look at the licence plate of the police car! As far as I can see (regarding the picture quality), it looks like it is COP 007 UC! A lot of Bond jokes could have been made here... No criticism, just observation and curiosity if you have even noticed the plate while preparing the review?!
Another fantastic review snob! Always makes the day better when I know I can get in from work and watch you pick on some poor, defenceless, undeserving movies!
Loving all the Golan-Globus stuff lately. I just saw Roar recently and I hope you do that one soon, as it's perhaps the most insane film I've ever seen.

Best comment ever!
So... it's like Silence of the Hams?
This comment also belongs on Wacko!
BUSH-WACKED
At the dentist part I was hoping it would be an actually funny scene where you see a closeup of the witch-doctor's face, then it zooms out and you see he has scrubs on and it's a proper dentists office.
+nikoincroatia You have too much faith in humanity.
+nikoincroatia they would never happen because that would be somewhat ambitious of the filmmakers.
nikoincroatia you put more thought in this than the filmmakers.
That would've been great, though.
@nikoincroatia That would mean that maybe someone like the Cohen Brothers did a re-write of that one scene... Your observation would actually be a funny moment in this unfunny (ahem) "film". I could definitely see that getting a laugh out of me!
That couldnt thats actually funny
'there's nothing connecting any of these scenes'
So this is where Batman v Superman got it's inspiration from.
Batman v. Superman was actually...long diatribe about how a shitty movie by a director who understands Superman about as well as Frank Miller understands Wonder Woman is actually brilliant, and how people who like Superman in the comics just don't understand Snyder's shitty vision.
BvS would have improved greatly with an appearance by Deep Roy in a monkey costume.
And the same can be said for the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
"September... Very good year."
Wow. That dialogue.
Apparently the script writers can't tell the difference between month and year. Just like how no one in this film can tell the difference between a monkey and a midget in a cheap costume
You have to give Dom Delouise credit for doing his best in every role he was given. I'd say he's the best actor here, along with the lion and the elephant.
Meh, Herbert Lom's not too bad, he's a consummate straight-man, even if the material is fucking awful.
But why did he agree to be in this piece of garbage?
Nice Unico profile pic
@@dx1450 He just wants to work and it was probably the best he could have gotten at the time.
@@dx1450 Maybe he was like Eddie Murphy, where he let his kids decide which roles he took.
I would like to note that the original books this was based on were _nothing_ like that.

Congratulations Cannon, you somehow managed to make Dustan Checks in look like the original Planet of the Apes by comparison to this movie.
Ha!Thats a good one.
I imagine a Golan and Globus brainstorming session as two Tommy Wiseus clumsily transcribing the plot of whatever happens to be on their TV. The room is of course a 70's nightmare of decoration that could rival anything seen in 'The Guy From Harlem'.
"Jurassic park Africa"
Giraffic park
cthulhuplaysgaming as far as bad puns go, that actually was kinda funny.
😆
13:05 Always gets me due to Brad's most genuine reaction of pure shock and anger.
This movie came on tv once when I was a kid and, no joke, I cried my eyes out when they were going to leave Bonzo in Africa. I still kinda teared up watching it now... Thank you, Menahem Golan.
The only genuine expression in this film is all the animals giving a "WTF" look to everything!
To quote Doug Walker, "I got nothing against you Dom, but you keep showing up in terrible films!"
And I thought the sequels to Don Bluth movies were terrible.
"If this is making you cry... THE *FUCK* IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?" is one of my new favorite Cinema Snob moments LOL
These episodes make me so happy. thank you for making them. My Favorite internet critic!
you could probably do a year solid of animal sports films.
please do a year of animal sports films.
These are my most favorite Snob episodes where he is unabashedly angry at viewing what is essentially a film that should not exist! I would compare him to the Bill Corbett-era Crow T. Robot for his similar hysterical short-fused venom and hilarious comments!
Also, one of Brad's best outbursts occurs at 13:05!
Hey, Brad have you heard about the 4-disc Japanese 35th anniversary edition of Caligula? I thought you may like to hear about your favorite film.
IMDb score: 2.8/10
Too fucking generous.
I wanna see this in I Hate Everything's In Search for the Worst...
should have added that obnoxious laughter when David falls and the credits edit lol
3:13 Was I the only one that thought about Dennis Hopper saying 'Monkey!!!'?
nope, you ain't alone there
You ain't alone here, guys. xD
Wow just wow. I don't have words for this movie........
How about these words: WHAT IN THE HOLY MOTHER OF FUCKIN' DOG SHIT!?
+SpeedyEric1 thanks you. I'd like to add these words "A Troll in Central Park AND The Magic Voyage are Citizen Kane and Gone With the Wind compared to this pile of feces!!
How about "Even too bad to show up in the Walmart discount DVD bin?" And I've even seen Adam Sandler's "Going Overboard" there.
Fuck... this one is so terrible even the review was difficult to get through; I felt the pain.
I think this is the angriest I've ever seen Snob.
He reviews the real bad movies like this, he is less crazy, he is less whiny, he is such a snob! I LIKE HIM! He is way better then the Nostalgia critic!
Christian Joffre agreed
Why don't we just appreciate them both for their hard work and nonstop dedication? Everything doesn't have to be a rivalry
@@4Legacyabsolutely not. He actually has real and balanced opinions of his own and is funny and not irritating whereas the nostalgia critic is just whiny annoying, piggy backs off of everyone else's opinions about things and is a hypocrite about everything. So no
@Nickr3000 well, I'm not defending him as the greatest thing ever. And yeah, he piggybacks some opinions and jokes, but it's free entertainment. Not really worth being upset and bitter at the guy for it lol
That just made a great start to my week. Thank-you Snob, you never disappoint.
Ok, now everyone who complained about "Dunston Checks In" can officially shut up!
I'll admit, I cried at 20:44
Out of fear. That ape costume is going to give me nightmares for weeks
"If this is making you cry, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
LOL...
*waves* I'm from Africa.
"The True African language. Screaming a lot" Actually..... yeah. That's pretty accurate
also; only foreigners call it a 'safari'.
"September, very good year" WTH movie
Three interesting things on this movie's IMDb page:
1. No budget nor box-office figures given (I'm guessing because both are embarrassingly low).
2. France saw this released a full six months before American audiences.
3. The whole thing was shot in Africa, so it does have kinship with Nukie.
These videos are what keep me coming back to this site.
16:20 - Best reaction ever, Brad!
Dear Snob,
You make every Monday and the rest of my week happy. Thank you!
*first sentence references Nukie*
Oh god, what am I in for?
A talented reviewer talking about a shitty movie.
17:41 What was playing?
Under the Sea?
I did think that Dom's line when he was looking at the wine was funny: "September. A very good year."
Who here wants to see The Cinema Snob review Ed? I know I do...
+OcpCommunications: My poor parents had to put up with my brothers and I watching that shit movie haha....do it!
Wish fulfilled!
Your wish has been granted!
It's Harry and the Hendersons meets One Got Fat!
Rule #1 of Cinema Snob reviews: if the movie takes place in Africa, the Snob will hate it more than life itself.
I love ya snob.
Even if I'm having a tough or a sad day, I see that little thumbnail in my subscriptions, and it's instantly a good one.
+Chaosian01 Are you... GOING BANNANAS for Cinema Snob?
Lizard Patio
Almost. Just Bananas though,
Well, it appears that Nukie and To Catch A Yeti fucked. Guess we should go hide in the bunker
+Jordan Alexander Oh shit... Ben is the Antichrist isn't he?
The one bright point that I can give this movie is that they at least didn't get an actual chimpanzee or something to play the role of Bonzo. I have zero doubts that the animal would have been abused or mistreated somehow given how little faith I have left in humanity.
The words "Bonzo loves Ben!" will haunt my dreams for years to come.
Wow, you know you're in for a ride when even the animals didn't want to be in the movie.
I remember this movie as a kid. It made me cry nowadays just as much as it did back then......from the headache it caused me to watch this film!
This is always the highlight of my week. Thanks brad
Dear gawd it sounds like a combination of Stitch and To Catch a Yeti!
Is it wrong that I want to know how to spell Mambazambaland/ Mambozamboland/ Mumbazumbaland/ Mombazombaland/ Mombozomboland/ Mambuhzambuhland?
1 minute in and my hope for this being a "Not as bad as the Snob makes it out to be" movie is down the drain.
And now you all know why I prefer dinosaurs and reptiles over Apes. Godzilla's progeny are never this annoying.
"You're just asking the monkey to spray you in the face!"
Didn't realize it was that kind of Cinema Snob review.
Between the creepy man-ape and actual scorpions being crushed to death, I nominate Cinema Snob to saint status for sitting through this.
Doesn't matter that those types of scorpions don't sting, they're still bound to scare an average kid, and they still pinch.
8:50 "Lom is yearning for the days where he only had to deal with Inspector Clouseau" I don't know, given how Herbert Lom's last run in with anything Clouseau related was Curse of the Pink Panther and his next would be Son of the Pink Panther, I almost feel like Herbert Lom got off kinda easy here.
Momba-Zomba Land sounds like a cut Banjo-Kazooie level.
The audio goes out of sync around 17:40, right after Ben says, "Look! A parade!"
People on IMdB say this got a cinematic release....I'm guessing it was limited LA and NYC, maybe the grindhouses of Baltimore as well.
The boy in this movie is the same boy who played in in a 85-86' episode remake of the Twilight Zone TV serie's! He played in the episode Examination Day!
lol, I vaguely remember seeing this as a kid. The only scene I could recall though is when the monkey rescues the kid from scorpions. I guess the rest of the flick was so traumatic that it became a repressed memory. That voice and suit are pretty damn terrifying.
9:04 "Even he wants Joe to shut the fuck up!"😆 10:03 "Where the hell did they get that costume?!"😆
Imagine being the actor who agreed to a role which a literal ape turned down
He'd later be all the Oopma Loopa in the Tim Burton Willy Wonka
Yikes... that thing looks like Chaka from Land of the Lost had a child with that creepy bird creature from The Neverending Story 2, Nimbly.
Imagining Clyde the orangutan riding a horse, flying through the air, laughing and.... talking... isn't much better though. Least Clyde had the sense to turn the thing down (poor Dom...).
"How did you not see that!?" Way to go, Brad, always talking about the elephant in the room.
Shit,I Hoping for This week episode will be A Naked Kirk Cameron Saving a Naked Michael Myers in Naked Christmas
Plot twist: They are all fully clothed preachers telling us about the evils of nudity as they murder people who call them on their bullshit.
+Domingos Junior What actually is Naked Kwaanza
A naked Michael Myers.... At least everyone will say hey look a naked Michael Myers now we know what he looks like skin wise.
So this was Michael Crichton's inspiration for "Congo".
Both terrible safari movies. Nostalgia Critic reviewed Congo and I don't think he'll ever review this movie.
He should stick with dinosaurs instead of primates
What else would make you wanna slaughter primates so much??????......
20:00 No reference to Project-X with Matthew Broderick? You're off your game , Snob.
14:02 guy saw the opportunity of a lifetime and he took it without hesitation
It took until the end of the review, but seeing the monkey jump from the dock to the ship reminded me that I did, in fact, see this movie when I was a kid. One of the few movies that Snob has done that I have seen, even if I didn't remember it.
Every the monkey 'talked' I wanted to throw up. Fuck, that was creepy. Great video though, never fails to make me laugh.
8:05 "drill me doc" lmfao!
For some reason I was half-expecting Ray Comfort to have taken part in this. Bananas _are_ his specialty, after all.
I was listening to an old episode of Radiodrome earlier today where you mentioned the tonal shift in The Last American Virgin.
22:39 Next week's review?
What was with 1987 giving us such super-shitty movies? (This was the same year that gave us "Nukie", "Leonard Part 6", "Jaws: The Revenge", "Superman IV: The Quest For Peace" and "Garbage Pail Kids The Movie")
Brad will you ever make a snob episode on God's Not Dead 2 in the future? If so that would be awesome torture.
+Nikolai Belinski It's still in theatres, so I don't see it happening any time soon. It's probably a lock for next year, though.
True.
+Nikolai Belinski I was hoping for the same.
+Will Hutchings *bump :-) Can't wait!
I imagine shortly after the DVD is released
This was fucking hilarious...this movie is so insensitive...but hey...cinema snob ripped it a new one...lol
Oh, Cannon. The gift that keeps on giving.
Hey Brad!
Great review as always!
But you missed a few potentially good jokes at 2:42! While the G.W. Bailey reference was great, take a look at the licence plate of the police car! As far as I can see (regarding the picture quality), it looks like it is COP 007 UC! A lot of Bond jokes could have been made here...
No criticism, just observation and curiosity if you have even noticed the plate while preparing the review?!
oh no, i remember this movie. i watched this when i was very young, i think i wandered off half way through to read.
This movie really doesn't deserve having as good a soundtrack as it does.
18:49 the audio seems to be out of sync.
Honestly, if Golan wanted to get a real simian to sign onto this film, he should've pitched it to Koko the Gorilla. At least she knows sign language!
this episode is pure gold! never seen Brad so angry!
Your Maniacs! That was the Earth all along! Your Maniacs!
Another fantastic review snob! Always makes the day better when I know I can get in from work and watch you pick on some poor, defenceless, undeserving movies!
Mostly deserving ;)
It's a Cannon film, what did you expect?
+Sean Pultz Boobs and violence
+gantzisballs I mean a kids movie made by Cannon.
less boobs more violence
Lenny Luthor?
Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson blowing shit up!
This wasn't the Cannon movie review(Death Wish 3), I wanted to see.
Please make a video of Six String Samurai!
September. Very good year. Almost as old as I am
I wish I was lying when I said your delivery of 'that's a snake' made me literally laugh out loud ANd I rarely laugh out loud.
Still a more realistic monkey than Fant4stic.
I remember David Mendenhall as the character of Michael Cutler-Hawk from Over the Top starring Sylvester Stallone, a movie about arm wrestling.
So... Is Mambazambaland anywhere near Kijuju? Because I'd watch that crossover.
He should do a Snowbuddies movie
Creampuf1977 it’ll make him hate dogs more
Loving all the Golan-Globus stuff lately. I just saw Roar recently and I hope you do that one soon, as it's perhaps the most insane film I've ever seen.
Another great review! Thanks, Brad!
So which Cannon documentary did you watch?
14:03 good to see Fard Muhammad getting work outside of Pop Quiz Hot Shot.
