Congo

Strangely, watching the Jane Goodall doc reminded me of this corny 90s action film I liked as a kid. Total nonsense but I enjoyed the nostalgia, Tim Curry’s terrible fake European accent and the sign language speaking ape Amy (a person in a monkey suit lol)

Just a mess. Unfortunately we could have had Bruce Campbell as the main character but instead we get… who ever the hell that was as the main character.

Not enough Bruce Campbell

Haven’t seen this since I was a kid. There’s charm in its seriousness despite absurd elements. Killer apes, laser diamonds, talking gorillas, it commits fully. That sincerity, combined with old-school adventure spirit, makes it a cult favorite.
