It's a gender-bending twist on King Kong with "Queen Kong" (1976), starring British actor Robin Askwith!

As a British person I have to say, THIS ISN'T A BRITISH FILM! It's a German production, with an Italian writer who hired English actors to imitate late 70s British sex comedies. I'll take responsibility for a lot of things, but not this. It also explains why none of the humor makes sense.

@michaelccozens 2 жыл бұрын

Eh, I've seen other lazy-ass British productions, and the "humour" here is right in-line with the dreck on offer there (and I love quality British humour). Also, by those standards, the Royal Family isn't British, but they're still on your money.

It's so refreshing to have someone from the other side of the Atlantic trying to get their head around the concept of Robin Askwith.

Then I realized they had it so that they didn't have to make a scale model of his leg and could instead just use a big metal hook they had lying around. FOR SHAME, MOVIE.

Okay, I think I can explain the Australian joke. You see, apparently, Australia was once a prison continent where the British sent criminals to before those criminals built a civilization there. So to the lead male actor, he was scared because they were going to a mass incarceration facility filled with crazies. That might explain the fuck out Australia, now that I think about it...

Robin Askwith is a living legend in the U.K., he is a genuinely funny guy and does a smattering of public appearances the length and breadth of the country where no doubt, he will regale you with tales of this absolute arse of a movie. He could have been a serious actor, worked with Passolini and the lovely Lindsay Anderson twice I think, he played a schoolboy in ‘If’. Apparently he did this for the money and why not? He is a British institution, would love to meet him. Great vid Brandon. You do realise more people have seen your review than have seen Queen Kong:)

The Seltzer and Freidberg comparison is apt. I would say that another appropriate comparison is “Velma,” though that of course didn’t exist when this video was made. The attempted jokes fall flat in a similar way that is both painful and insulting - “So that’s gorilla warfare” made me want to beat the screenwriter with a crowbar much like “What did SCOOBI do?” It also shows a similar level of disrespect for the source material, albeit in a slightly way - while “Velma” seems contemptuous of “Scooby-Doo” and its fans, seeming to wish they didn’t exist, this movie takes “King Kong” and its fans for granted as convenient material for lazy exploitation.

To steal a joke from Rifftrax; "Sure, it falls flat in our language, but if we spoke the language, we'd be laughing!" "...but this was filmed in English!" "IT WAS?!"
