Good movie? Not particularly. Then again, I suppose it depends on what you're looking for. If you want some mindless entertainment with a hunky lead about an ape-man who visits the big apple and sweeps an outlandishly beautiful/bright cabbie off her feet while finding his jungle friends who were kidnapped in the introduction ... this should do fine. At its heart, the story is something we've seen recycled by one trillion other films. It's the kind of movie that Mystery Science Theater would have a field day with, cuz it's just the right combination of high production values and crapola. Speaking of production values ... the photography is very easy on the eye. The soundtrack features Grace Jones and Warren Zevon. And, Tony Curtis plays the cabbie's lovable dad (also a PI which is convenient). Harmless Schlock.

About as generic as it gets, and I kinda love that.
