Queen Kong is a 1976 British-German special effects comedy film made to spoof Dino De Laurentiis' King Kong remake from the same year.

Plot

After being saved from the law and shortly afterwards kidnapped by the aggressive female film director Luce Habit, petty thief and simple natured hippie Ray Fay finds himself the star of her new African jungle movie which will be shot on location in the mysterious island of Nabonga Where They Do The Conga. After a bizarre ocean journey onboard Luce Habit's ship, The Liberated Lady, which also sees three of her cremates accidentally eaten by a lipstick-wearing shark, the film crew reaches the shores Nabonga Where They Do The Conga. Deeper into the islands jungles, the crew discover the semi-suburbanized village of the natives who are preparing a gigantic picnic table for an upcoming sacrifice to their giant ape goddess, Queen Kong. The human Queen of the Nabongas natives sees the handsome Fay Ray among Habit's all female entourage and demands him to be given as the sacrificial tribute. Luce Habit refuses, however, having gained a soft-spot for Ray herself, and orders him and her employees back onto The Liberated Lady.

Trivia

  • The May 1977 issue of National Lampoon featured a Queen Kong on its cover, however, the creature-in-question was a drag-queen take of the 1976 King Kong remake holding a bemused Jeff Bridges in her palm.
