A Disappointing Continuation

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Really, there are better quality videos on YouTube than this. Many, many better.Is it campy? Perhaps, but the kind of campy where you are hauled out in the woods and molested by the counselors. A lot like Santa Claus vs. the Martians, it is frankly, from beginning to end, the film production most devoid of talent I have ever seen.The acting lacks the depth, quality and execution of a high school play- -and not the kind of play that kids try out for, the kind where members of the football team are trying to squeeze easy credit out of a blow off course.The screenplay, had the movie come out years later, exhibits the rare insight and niche draw of bad pornography. It's all wrapped up in an aphorism yanked from the screen of Jersey Shore.The direction is laughable, the special effects are merely sad and fight scenes are goofy.The only thing that makes the above look good, however, is the choreography, which warrants it's own mention as one of the most unwatchable moments in cinema. You'll laugh so hard because it is the only way of preventing your stomach contents from spraying around the room.Wongo is, frankly, completely devoid of artistic merit. However, to say something nice, I will give credit to whomever scouted locations. Still, that person, along with everyone else involved, should be embarrassed to the point of forming a commune in rural Utah to avoid public notice that they had one day committed such hateful offense to Mr. Edison's invention.However, you should see it for the same reasons you should get a colonoscopy after the age of 50.

A disembodied Mother Nature narrates a story 10,000 years in the making. The events of the great "Wongo"-"Goona"-"Monkey Men from the Sea" conflict are recounted. The manipulative Mother Nature has placed all the prettiest women with the Wongo tribe and the good looking men in the rival & nearby Goona tribe. The men of Wongo & women of Goona are suppose to be fugly. The Monkey Man threat is severely over-hyped, as is their involvement in the film.The conflict arises when the son of the king of Goona arrives by canoe, waving the white-wing of peace, to warn Wongo of the arrival of the Monkey Men from the sea. The Wongo men, obviously jealous of his good looks, devise a plan to kill him. The Wongo women, lusting over the pretty man, decide to step in. The origins of humanity start are becoming clearer, but it just needs a few more ingredients.Add a "Dragon God" (a.k.a. crocodile/alligator), the god's temple complete with one crazy priestess, some modern dance, leopard print & leather slips, lots of hair spray, blue hair, empty scenes of the "jungle", at least 12 cut-aways to an annoying parrot, stock footage of crocodiles/alligators, scenes of wandering through the jungle, several repetitions of previous footage, a scene of a woman trying to drown a crocodile/alligator and page upon page of horrible "savage-man" dialog (i.e. "me go", "Wongo not friend to Goona", etc.). Anyone can film a movie like this. Just go to the Florida Everglades or Keys and hire some bodies from Gold's Gym, don't forget to cater it and remember the script will figure itself out. The pain is excruciating. This is definitely the kind of movie to watch at 1.5x and not by oneself. Bring many friends and several bottles of bourbon.-Celluloid Rehab

Ever see a puppy that was so ugly it was cute? That describes this dog of a movie. Gilligan's Island meets Ed Wood gone terribly wrong. Plot? It never thickens. Rather it starts out as thin as rice paper and remains just that transparent. Dialog? The dialog coach was sent out for coffee. Acting? It is to laugh. Sets? Well, none really. Special effects? Uh, there was that rubber alligator. Makeup? Think: Blue hair meant to look grey. But hey, it IS in colour. Maybe they should of thought about that before they called for makeup. Reality? This movie is a cinema dog rocket. But if you can get into Ed Wood meets Gilligan ... It IS kinda cute and good for a chuckle or two. But not much else.

This is a . . .great movie! Yes, that's right. If you're looking for better acting, check out the Spring Shakespeare production at your local high school.However, if you want to see some sexy women as they were portrayed in the 1950s, start RIGHT HERE. Not only do you get to see voluptuous shapely figures and attractive faces, but hey, at one point a gang of spear-wielding women drive two would-be rapists to their deaths. Then they tie up men and make them march. 1950s Betty Friedan! Right on! There's even a girl fight in the sand; a precursor to our sexually provocative modern-day mud wrestling and wet T-shirt nights.I'll take this over that Spielberg crap any day.To enhance your experience, get a copy of the Tube's Wild Women of Wongo, a great song on their gold seller Outside Inside album. Play this music on your stereo in continuous loop mode simultaneously with the movie soundtrack.By the way, you can watch the movie for free at http://video.google.com/videoplay? docid=1694106186353825572& q=type%3Asv_classicmovies (remove the spaces in this URL)
