It is a fun cheesy movie, it has a great cast and some okay effects. But my biggest complaint is that Konga starts out as a Chimp but the plant extract formula turns little Konga into a Gorilla and that is not possible. An Chimp is a Chimp and a Gorilla is a Gorilla. They are two different species. I mean what would have really happened if he didn't shoot the cat that drinks the spilled formula, he would have turned into a lion? The story implies that Konga just got larger which means he should have stilled looked like a chimp. But the story is a unique twist on the giant ape story, the cast does a bang up job. It is a classic and I think if you are a fan of the giant ape genre, then you will enjoy this. 7 STARS.

Konga
(1961)
Can a Chimp really grow up to be a Gorilla? I don't think so.
