With KONG: SKULL ISLAND hitting theaters, Jon Abrams, Freeman Williams, and Mike Vanderbilt decided to look back at APESPLOITATION in the ’70s, when a slew of filmmakers attempted to cash in on Dino De Laurentiis’ 1976 KING KONG remake starring Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange.
The Grindhouse squad discuss the Korean cheapie A*P*E, The Shaw Brothers’ MIGHTY PEKING MAN, and of course, KING KUNG FU.
In addition to monkey movies, the guys discuss ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM, DANGEROUS MEN, HAP & LEONARD, and Ken Russell’s THE DEVILS, which made its way to Shudder’s streaming service this past week.
