- As it turns out, Kong and the other members of his species are “Great Apes.” The name “Kong” applies only to Kong himself, not to his entire species. Every other Great Ape has their own name that’s specific to them, just like Kong is specific to the beloved Titan.

It might seem unfair placing 1986’s King Kong Livesat the bottom of this list, considering that — unlike several other great ape movies — it has a decent-sized budget, slick production values, and Linda Hamilton. But the hint of talent is actually what drives home its utter worthlessness — there’s simply no reason for this movie to be so bad. Produ...
The cross-eyed gorilla isn’t the worst element of 1969’s unspeakably awful The Mighty Gorga. Admittedly, it’s a distracting to wonder why no one took a couple of minutes to fix the wayward peepers on the unfortunate ape costume borrowed for this picture, but even this costume looks genuine when compared to the dinosaur that eventually pops up. Seem...
To be clear, 1968’s King of Kong Island does not include any oversized apes. Yet given its title, how could it notbe included? An inept Italian production that appears to have been made for $.50, this movie was known as Eve, the Wild Woman in its homeland. That’s certainly a more fitting moniker, since the plot does involve a woman named Eve, and s...
The opening credits for 1976’s A*P*Esignal the quality of this Korean production, as the word “Transportation” is misspelled as “Transporation.” Following this alphabet-challenged intro, the action begins with a dangerous 36-foot ape being sent to Disneyland(!) for a promotional tour. The creature breaks free from the ship’s cargo hold and proceeds...
Like A*P*E, 1976’s Queen Kong was a King Kongrip-off produced to profit off the hype surrounding the Dino de Laurentiis version making its way into theaters. Unlike the Korean flick, this British spoof barely saw the inside of theaters, as a lawsuit hurled by de Laurentiis successfully blocked its release in most of the world (and certainly in the ...
“Everybody loves the monkey!,” producer Dino de Laurentiis would frequently chirp, explaining why he decided to remake a classic that had long been hailed as one of cinema’s finest achievements. But 1976’s King Kong turned out to be a ham-fisted version of the venerable yarn, replacing the excitement and gravitas of the 1933 original with a jokey a...
Today, Rankin/Bass is best known for such animated TV specials as 1964’s Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and 1970’s Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town, but among the company’s prolific output during its heyday was 1966’s The King Kong Show, which aired as part of ABC’s Saturday morning lineup for a couple of seasons. The 1967 feature film King Kong Escap...
Herman Cohen met with success by producing and (under pseudonyms) writing the 1957 hits I Was a Teenage Werewolf and I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, so why not go for the hat-trick by unleashing I Was a Teenage Gorilla onto an unsuspecting world? Alas, a rash of similarly titled cheapies from other filmmakers (Teenage Caveman, Teenage Zombies, Teenag...
It almost feels as if 1962’s King Kong vs. Godzilladeserves two spots on this list, considering the vast differences between the original Japanese cut and the radically reworked American version. The genesis of the film began with, appropriately enough, Willis O’Brien, the visual effects genius behind the original 1933 King Kong. O’Brien had long e...
Disney’s 1998 Mighty Joe Young, a remake of the popular 1949 version, is at its best when it — pardon the pun — apes its predecessor and falters when it attempts to strike out on its own. As before, the movie details the loving relationship between a young woman (Charlize Theron) growing up in Africa and the oversized gorilla she hopes to protect f...

The song bio gives the clue. As with all poems in ‘The World’s Wife’ the un-noticed female in male-centric stories is given prominance. Here, Queen Kong is the giant ape, not King...
