Konga
“Not since "King Kong"...has the screen exploded with such mighty fury and spectacle!”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A scientist returns with a chimpanzee and growth serum, then approaches professional disagreements with a very unreasonable research assistant. Michael Gough supplies the dramatic pressure while the ape gradually exceeds both the furniture and the plot's already generous scientific limits.
