Queen Kong is a 1976 British/West German giant monster comedy film co-produced by Cine-Art München and Dexter Films. The film was released to West German theaters on December 10, 1976 by Constantin Film. It was created in order to parody Dino De Laurentiis' then-newly released King Kong remake, and borrows several elements from that film's story.

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 Habit's ship, The Liberated Lady, which also sees three of her crewmates accidentally eaten by a lipstick-wearing great white shark, the film crew reaches the shores of Nabonga Where They Do The Conga. Deeper into the island's 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 sees the handsome Ray among Habit's all-female entourage and demands him to be given as the sacrificial tribute. Habit refuses, however, having gained a soft spot for Ray herself, and orders him and her employees to get back to The Liberated Lady.

Queen Kong is later taken to London on the boat, where she steals the crown from the Tower of London, but Ray gives the crown back to the guards. Queen Kong later climbs Big Ben, where she is attacked by jet planes and a helicopter hovering above her. She drops Ray into the helicopter, where he talks to all of the women in the world.

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.
