Konga.... NOT King Kong !!Review created: 04/22/07

Konga.... NOT .... King Kong ...is the subject of this blog postreview!
Konga had a few series of comic book series from Charlton Comics.
The first series ran for 23 issues from circa 1961 to November 1965.
The was also a 'one-shot' Return of Konga in 1962.
There were 2 issues of Konga's Revenge in 1963-1964.
There was another 'one-shot' of Konga's Revenge in 1968.
Konga was printed due to Charlton's belief that artist Steve Ditko could do the same magic touch to the 1961 Konga Movie from American International that he did to the Gorgo film earlier !
In the Konga film it is a scientist that has managed to grow plants to a huge size that decides to experiment on a chimpanzee. The poor chimp is turned into a giant killer monster! As shown on the cover in issue #1, he is as big as King Kong!
The comic book series lasted a lot longer than the movie that generated it, although Steve Ditko, who had by then co-created the Amazing Spider-Man, was not the artist for all the issues.
Konga was created due to Steve Ditko having a good run on Gorgo, which was based in 1961 from the Gorgo movie that was very similar to another monster predecessor, Godzilla !! Comic books have always seemed to be derivative, just like sucessful TV shows will spawn many imitiators...
This DVD is a good addition to any KONGA fan's collection !!

I am always looking for old sici movie classics from the 1950s & 1960s.
I really enjoy watching these old movies.They brings back alot of good oid
memories of my growing years.Most of these old movies only cost around 50cents to see at the theater.They always seem to prject some kind of moral message
in them.There was no bad language and no sex seens.The whole family could watch
snd not be embaressed.ThankYou for letting to share my feelings.

Very entertaining and very sillyReview created: 12/07/09

) Not the best film I've ever seen, but a very entertaining one.
Watch as Michael Gough becomes more and more deleriously insane as a professor looking to control nature through a chimp, who gets larger and larger and roams around London with Gough clasped in his paw for the climax.
Worth watching also for a bemused Jack Watson and a diffident Jess Conrad, who seems potentially to be the hero...

Kong the english way.
) A great promotion for King Kong. This is a great example of how not to do it. When its all over you kinda feel like the guy in the back of the crowd, wondering what that was all about. Full of chuckles for the true sci-fier.

Konga to me is great fun, a film you can watch with your kids or grandkids, just enough to kinda scare them or to make them laugh! It's not King kong but it still has it charm. A great cast. solid acting, so so efects but somehow it has the charm of Kong, you still feel sorry for him in the end.So gather the whole family gather around the set and have fun with classic, as I said it's no kong , but pure family fun!
