Trivia:
Producer Herman Cohen first considered using "ape" actor 'Steve Calvert', who had worked with Cohen on Bride of the Gorilla (1951) and Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952), but Calvert had retired from performing in his gorilla suit. Cohen turned to another renowned "ape" actor George Barrows, but only hired Barrows' gorilla costume, not Barrows himself. The actor Paul Stockman was instead chosen, based primarily on being a good fit for Barrows' costume. Barrows was annoyed when his gorilla costume was returned from England in bad shape. moreGoofs:

Herman Cohen has done a lot of good movies fir American international pictures like i was a teenage werewolf.teenage Frankenstein,the black museum.and konga is one of those campy movies thats pretty good.even if some of the special effects are below par.Micheal gough plays the professor who returns home from Uganda Africa with a chimp named konga and carnivorous plant bulbs,he uses the plant extract to turn his playful chimp into a ferocious gorilla to get revenge on those who crossed his path and upset him.he makes advances on a busty blonde college student,his jealous companion doesn't like how things are going and things turn ugly.the music on the soundtrack is very good and memorable.konga was filmed in great Britain and imported by American international pictures.yes i did hear that George barrows the Hollywood gorilla expert played konga.konga is no classic but its much better then the mighty gorga and a*p*e*.Micheal gough went on to play Alfred in the batman movies from 1989 to 1997.i give konga 8 out of 10.
