Shakma (1990)
Hilarious (spoiler - somewhat)
Yes the animal scenes were incredibly realistic and the enraged primate was actually frightening but the storyline destroys any credibility that these items may have built up.
The funniest scene in the movie is when Shakma runs down the entire length of a hallway that ends in an elevator with a hapless victim. It looks like something out of a football recap video - watching the baboon pick up speed with every step and the bonehead in the elevator gimping around like a fish out of water. When Shakma "sacks" the victim/quarterback I almost wet myself laughing everytime and I have seen that about 100 times.
Great movie if you want to kill some time with your buddies (male I would encourage) and drink a six pack or two. Trust me the hilarity is well worth it!
P.S. The acting makes the people on the WB/UPN look like Lawrence Olivier and Meryl Streep
