Trivia
Ray Corrigan was one of the best of the Hollywood "Gorilla Men" who worked in all the B flicks and comedies playing apes and gorillas. Corrigan owned his own suits and worked as a gorilla man early in his career, starting with 1932's Tarzan the Ape Man with Johnny Weissmuller. He was among the best. When he finally retired from stunt work and the gorillas in 1948, he sold his suits to Steve Calvert. His suits lived on longer than he did. See more »Goofs
Van Dorn says that Gunderson saw a white gorilla kill a native chief and take away a baby gorilla. Actually it was an chimpanzee. See more »Alternate Versions

This movie for some reason isn't as popular as Plan 9 and Robot Monster, but it's really good (in a bad way).
The whole film is a waste of your time. You got a stupid storyline - an albino gorilla running around the jungle terrorizing people. You got scientist trying to stop the havoc. Then there's the horrible monkey suit and dialogue. Yes, it's one of the worst! Watch it!
