Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Cristi_Ciopron Written by Tim Ryan and directed by Beaudine, this is a charmless old-fashioned lowbrow comedy, where a princess who went to college gives a necklace to a lousy singer; but for the two cretins (Petrillo slightly less annoying than the singer), the movie might of worked better, but not much better, as there's not much to laugh or at least smile at, with the main idea being not to rip off, but to spoof a rising duo, implying those were a couple of monkeys, the kind of 5th rate comedy which belonged to the lousiest TV slot; instead, remember Tim Ryan, Lugosi and Beaudine for their better work elsewhere. As it is, it offers an occasion to remember and think about Tim Ryan, a B comedies scriptwriter, about Lugosi, who resembles Plummer, about Beaudine, who has done so many movies ….Lugosi gets the opportunity to explain the growth force in the evolutionary differentiation; his aim is to kick beings into evolving or devolving. He's an insane scientist (here, a biologist) who owns a castle on the island and loves the princess. He looked like Plummer, and has a nice scene when, at his castle, he sits, in the evening, drinking to quench his jealousy; perhaps surprisingly, in this comedy Lugosi takes a more chilly approach (in fact, the script offers him but one moment of raving, that of the scientific explanation of pushing evolution upstairs or downstairs), he seems more earthly. (Otherwise, Karloff, Chaney, Lee have been themselves in movies this dire.) A certain Charlita plays the princess, and she was better than her pair, the cretin entertainer, on screen.The featured duo was disgraceful and trite (with the joke being that they are the ascending comedians' monkeys, but also that, in the original duo, the 1st was a gorilla, and the 2nd a chimpanzee, which is unfair to those actors).

Leofwine_draca BELA LUGOSI MEETS A BROOKLYN GORILLA barely qualifies as a proper film, although it is a madcap rip-off of a popular comedy series pairing up Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. This one stars the exceptionally irritating Sammy Petrillo (who looks just like Jim Carrey in DUMB AND DUMBER, except this time it's for real) and his buddy Duke Mitchell who travel to a remote Pacific island to live it up with the natives.The whole film consists of their various encounters with jungle flora and fauna, from dancing native girls to chimpanzees (a welcome cameo from Tarazan's Cheetah) and even a gorilla or two. Inevitably the action is silly and the humour even sillier, although horror fans might be interested to see Bela Lugosi here, as reliable as ever in support as a sinister mad scientist type, forever conducting weird experiments. Lugosi hams it up a treat and is really the only reason to bother sitting through such a dated and otherwise pointless film. It's no surprise director William Beaudine directed around 350 movies when they were of this calibre.

Flak_Magnet This movie is like Chemotherapy; it sucks the life right out of your bone marrow. It wrecks you on a cellular level and there is nothing funny about it. Imagine watching Jerry Lewis run around a jungle set with a guy in a gorilla suit, screaming and making cross-eyed faces. Now, replace Jerry Lewis with a Jerry Lewis impersonator; who is, if you can believe it, more annoying than Lewis. Bela has about 15-min of screen time, and he is entirely wooden. The Dean Martin impersontar looks and sounds nothing like Dean Martin. The most captivating performance is from a chimpanze. Honest. You don't have to do this, people. Some doors are best left unopened. ---|--- Reviews by Flak Magnet

Michael_Elliott Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952)* 1/2 (out of 4)Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis wannabes Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo fall out of a plane on land on an island where a mad scientist (Bela Lugosi) is doing bizarre experiments on monkeys. Pretty soon the two friends have sisters in love with them and all sort of other weirdness.BELA LUGOSI MEETS A BROOKLYN GORILLA is an awful movie from start to finish. Again, I repeat. This is an awful movie in just about every way imaginable. With that said, I also find it to be incredibly entertaining and quite often when I'm looking for a low- budget bad movie to watch, I come back to this one. While it's not as entertaining as something like PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE it's still a highly enjoyable film.Perhaps I should repeat that the film is awful so no one goes in expecting something good or somewhat good. The entire idea of the film is rather routine, clichéd and stupid but there's just something weirdly entertaining about watching Mitchell and especially Petrillo do their act. It's reported that Jerry Lewis sued Petrillo and it's really no shock because it's pretty much an exact copy only much more annoying. The comic back-and-forth here isn't funny yet it's so unfunny that you can't help but be entertained.Then there's the Lugosi element. I know many people put down his roles in the Ed Wood movies but this had to be one of the lowest points for the actor. He pretty much does what he can with the role but he's basically just standing or sitting around and screaming or talking with the monkey. If you're a fan of Lugosi you're probably going to feel sorry for him appearing in this but at the same time it's still rather fun to see him surrounded by all the craziness.As a comedy this film is quite horrible but it remains entertaining to me. I don't know, perhaps I enjoy torturing myself but sometimes films are just so bad or different or strange that you can't help but be drawn to them. BELA LUGOSI MEETS A BROOKLYN GORILLA has a very silly title but it perfectly matches what you're going to be seeing in the picture.
