Female movie director Luce Habit (Rula Lenska) abducts hippie Ray Fay
(Robin Askwith) to the island Zabanga where they do the Konga to
star in her new movie, but even on their way to the island via ship
weird things start to happen as the native guides they did take with
them are doing weird ritualistic dances shouting
"Kong-Kong-Kong-Kong-Kong-Kong" before jumping overboard. On Zabanga
where they do the Konga itself, Ray & lose Habit find a female
tribe living in one of these native villages that are secured by a high
wall (now what might be behind it), & soon their high Priestess
decides she wants Ray as a birthday present for Kong & abduct5s him
to that end. Kong, of course, turns out to be a female 64 ft. gorilla,
& she soon falls for Ray - & in this version of the tale her
love is returned. But after Kong saved Ray from a selection of diosaurs,
Luce Habit captures her & takes her to London to present to the
world. But whe at the presentation, Luce Habit flirts with Ray too
heavily, Kong breaks free of her chains & her bra (really !) 6 goes
on a rampage through London before climbing Big Ben together with Ray,
& suddenly facing the whole British army. But Ray manages to give an
inflammatory feminist speech that makes all the women taking Queen
Kong's side & & the army finally giving in to let her - with Ray
- return to Zabanga where they do the Konga. Quite
obviously, this is a parody of King Kong with all the sexual
roles reversed. & the film does manage to stay pretty entertaining
on a nostalgic level, too, even though most of the (intentional) comedy
is pretty bad & the novelty of the reversal of sexual stereoptypes
wears off pretty quickly, not at all helped by the fact that it seems to
be hammered home way too violently. The men-in-monstersuits-creature
effects are ridiculously bad though.
