One of the first ever monster movies to be made in colour is OUT NOW on DVD. Konga, an alternative interpretation of the King Kong Story has been released as part of The British Film collection by Network Distributing and we’ve got two new clips from the film to share with you.
Michael Gough is Dr Decker – a botanist and university professor – but also the sole survivor of a plane crash in Africa. When he returns from the jungle he brings with him a baby chimpanzee, ‘Konga’. During the course of his experiments, Decker discovers a serum that causes Konga to grow to the size of a gorilla – and, eventually, to obey his will. Encountering both opposition to his experiments and following a love affair thwarted by a rival, he decides to put the supersized ape to terrifying use that terrorises London…
The first clip sees Konga at his most terrifying, terrorising the people of London, which goes hand in hand with the classic films of its era with much light hearted running and up close screaming.
The second clip we have for you to enjoy sees Konga as a baby chimpanzee with the botanist and professor, Dr Decker, played by Michael Gough, as he begins to run experiments on the ape.
