White Gorilla

Rating:
Summary: Simply Incredible
Review: "White Gorilla" is actually two movies in one, with the present-day footage shot around a silent serial made twenty years before. The silent feature, "Perils of the Jungle" stars Frank Merrill, the fifth screen Tarzan, and concerns a young woman and her father, who are searching for treasure in the African jungle. They encounter Merrill, a strange jungle boy (Bobby Nelson) and his mother, who is the priestess to a cult of tiger men. They worship the stature of a Cyclops, whose arms are moved secretly by the jungle boy.

As if that wasn't enough, the `present day' story concerns a guide (Ray "Crash" Corrigan) who arrives injured at a trading post. He was injured by the legendary white gorilla. The gorilla was cast out of his family because of his color and takes out his anger on everyone he encounters. He narrates the tale of the silent feature, witnesses the battle between the black gorilla and the white gorilla (also Corrigan), and does other silly things as he reacts to twenty-year old footage. Watch two men in gorilla suits fight it out. Watch our narrator as he reacts to unseen footage. Watch the bad acting of those in the trading post. Total entertainment! A film that would've made Ed Wood, Jr. jealous.
