"Even though Queen Kong is filled with various other kinds of humor, the movie is amazingly consistent in that almost none of the gags manage to even make you smile just a little... The effects in the movie are so unbelievably bad that they are not amusingly terrible or terribly amusing - they are just plain terrible... It's a testament to the cast of Queen Kong that they come across pretty well despite all these problems, certainly a lot more than Queen Kong herself, who's given no real personality at all by the screenplay." DFW at Razor Reel
"Queen Kong is not a movie to wet you pants, but it's certainly has its moments of shear laughter & hilarious comedy... a classic family movie for the not so classic family." (sic throughout) Nathaniel Thompson at Mondo Digital (scroll down)
"From the disco-inflected theme song to the cut-rate she-ape costume, Queen Kong inspires shocked disbelief more than guffaws but is rarely dull... While it may not be quite as hilarious as King Kong Lives, you've got to give the filmmakers credit for trying." Lawrence P Raffel at Monsters at Play
"Spoof movies like the gleefully outrageous gender-bending Queen Kong are a dime a dozen, but few share the crazy audacity that Queen Kong oozes during its 85-minute running time... Queen Kong stands as a truly outrageous spectacle that will likely leave many a viewer slack jawed and stupefied. It's outrageous b-movie fun that seems to miss the mark quite a bit, but in the end none of this will really matter to the die-hard b-movie fan... This low budget production is loaded with special effects that range from the mildly amusing to the gloriously awful." Graeme Clark at The Spinning Image
"As you might expect it hasn't dated too well, but it could be one of those films that is more enjoyable now than it was back then, because there are times when you literally can't believe what the film is trying to get away with... The film's saving grace is that it takes nothing seriously, so that it can get away with the odd joke in dubious taste, and the generally ramshackle quality of the production." xxx at Linda Hayden fansite
"This film is sooo bad - it's good!... One of my favorite movie subjects is special effects and all I can say is the Blue Peter team must have been working overtime on this film." Phil Hall at Film Threat
"In a nice surprise, Queen Kong emerges as a genuinely amusing bit of fun... Queen Kong seems to have been made on a budget equivalent to dinner for four at McDonald's. The ape, complete with breasts and a hairdo, is clearly a person in a shabby costume clomping around the least believable miniature sets ever constructed... Truth be told, Queen Kong is often more silly than funny and a lot of the wisecracks inspire laughs for the wrong reason." G Noel Gross at DVD Talk
"This criminally ignored musical farce desperately demands cult status... Between the absurdist dance numbers and jaunty tunes about man-on-gorilla coitus, there's oceans of decidedly English giggles." George R Reis at DVD Drive-In
"the tale has been executed as a bawdy satire with impromptu musical numbers and enough verbal site gags to make Mel Brooks blush... An enjoyable comedy with ambitious production values and scope, despite its modest budget." Ryan Lies at No-Fi Magazine (scroll down)
"Here it is, folks. What may be the unfunniest movie of all time! It's great, worth the wait, don't get me wrong! But damn is it BAD... Whereas a lot of bad movies are accidentally fun to watch due to their ineptness, Queen Kong tries to be funny in a campy way and just comes out all sorts of terrible... Such brainless hubris should always be celebrated in the world of cinema." Brendan Maltman at DVD Crypt
"Queen Kong can best be described as a cross-between King Kong, Monty Python and a whole selection of Carry On films. It is one of the silliest films Ive ever seen... It is possibly one of the worst films ever made and yet strangely enjoyable". Michael J Weldon at Psychotronic Video (pdf)
"Must be the most blatantly racist movie made since the '30s." Rick Trembles at Snubdom.com
"Horrendously unfunny sight-gag-filled wink at 'women's lib'... Had the chintzy FX only been a deliberate parody of DeLaurentiis' own, fans might have something to side with, but they're played straight." Foreign language reviews (sorry - don't know what these say!) Film Magasinet (Norwegian) |
