Movie director, Luce Habit (Rula Lenzka) needs a leading man for her latest epic. She discovers Ray Fay (Robin Askwith), drugs him (!), and whisks him away from London to Lazanga. With her all-female crew, Luce is all set for filming.
Native troubles, the entrance of the titular beast, and general idiocy ensue.
QUEEN KONG is -obviously- a British parody of its male counterpart. For a comedy, it suffers from a dire lack of any real humor. It's peppered with antiquated, anything-but-funny "jokes" that couldn't possibly have elicited laughs, even in 1976! It's sort of like a really long, completely awful episode of The Benny Hill Show.
Yes, there are bikini-clad dancing girls.
This could possibly be the most inane, eye-gouging-ly dull movie to ever come out of the UK!
In addition to the "monster" of the title we also get a woman-eating rose bush, and a man in a cardboard dinosaur costume.
For his part, Askwith seems to be having a blast, like he does in all of his movies. His Mick Jagger / Brian Jones-hybrid look and goofy persona are always likeable. It's just not enough to salvage this saggy saga.
Good luck with this bowl of rotten bananas!...
