Watch in horror as the A*P*E Mercilessly attacks the same building in 5 different shots, and then sometimes the same shot repeated later in the film. Marvel at the special effects as foam pieces fly off the “rocks” that fall toward the same three men also repeated about five times. Become engrossed in the finely developed characters, and their emotional dialogue like “Just too big for a small world like ours,” or “Lets see him dance for his organ grinder now!”<\/p>\n
If the makers of this film were serious, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle, haha. But seriously, you’ll have an ape of a time(I don’t even think people say that one). I’m not monkeying around; you’ll go bananas! <\/p>\n
Important note: you can see the head part of the ape costume moving seperately from the rest of the costume and you don’t even have to be looking.<\/p>\n
Here’s what I really think: It’s bad, oh boy is it ever, especially the repeated stock footage and footage from other movies, and the 3 minutes, LITERALLY 3 MINUTES, of time wasted by showing children playing with a puppet. There is a shot of firemen rushing through the supposedly panic-stricken city but look closely(or not so closely you can still see it); In the background you can see people shopping. Let’s not forget the ending (don’t worry, you won’t care if I tell you how it ends) which is 15 minutes of tanks shooting, soldiers running up to the camera looking into it, and then shooting 3 or 4 rounds out of a rifle I’m certain only holds one round(I don’t know anything about guns, but it had the handle dealy on the side that you cock to load and unload). All this while the ape disco dances which I suppose is him being shot and reacting, but I would think that all that firepower and he would probably run away. Then the ape dies. You can tell it’s going to happen too, because after what seems like hours of being shot in the head and chest, the A*P*E vomits blood. These things are the reason to watch the movie. I’m not exaggerating when I say A*P*E is one of the funniest films of all time.
