Leave your thoughts about Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla.
| TV GuideTV Guide StaffLugosi is at his scary best, but the movie is awful, with Mitchell and Petrillo doing awful imitations of Martin and Lewis. |
| User ReviewPaul Bthis is one spooktacular film! its got it all..laughs,horror,song,dance,and cheesy romance.. bela is so charming.. ramona rules!!! this film totally cheered me up on a cold, rainy, depressing may afternoon. *but keep in mind,i LOVE old crappymovies* |
| User ReviewVictoria SOkay, nothing great, however this was very interesting historically. Not a bad Bela performance, but the treat is a Martin & Lewis knockoff by the name of Duke Mitchell (Martin) and Sammy Petrillo (Lewis). Duke comes across as kind of uncomfortable with a singing voice just the good side of nails on a chalkboard. He really drives home the importance that Dean Martin really had in the Martin & Lewis team. Petrillo on the other hand is very funny with a spot on Jerry Lewis impression. It goes beyond just the "Hey Laiiiideeeee" shtick that most folks go for, to all the facial expressions and body language that made Jerry Lewis funny once upon a time. I wouldn't buy it, but definitely worth a view. |
| User ReviewBrendanAnother so bad its good movie. A D grade Martin and Lewis duo run afoul of mad scientist Lugosi on a desert island. |
| User ReviewChuck NIt makes me feel good knowing we live in a world where movie titles like this can exist. |
| User ReviewLarry YBELA LUGOSI MEETS A BROOKLYN GORILLA is the story of entertainers (a loose term) Duke Mitchell (a singer mimicking Dean Martin) and Sammy Petrillo (a comedian - another loose term - mimicking Jerry Lewis. They crash land on a desert island and are rescued by the local tribe of natives. The beautiful daughter of the chief falls for Duke, while her fat sister falls for Sammy. The beautiful one works by day for a mad evolutionary scientist (Bela Lugosi, of course) on another part of the island. The cast make the most out of a pathetically poor script that features lots of jokes, only they aren't funny. Interestingly, Bela has serious designs on his beautiful young island girl/assistant. Things liven up a bit with the introduction of Ramona the Chimp, who like the fat island girl, seems to fall in love with Sammy, or at least she's just using his lesser IQ to get what she wants. Perhaps she gets it when they sleep together in her lab cage, but the scene fades out. Meanwhile, Bela plans to use a serum to change a man into a gorilla, with Duke as his intended test subject. Eventually this all ends with Bela getting revenge against the entertainers for meddling with his evil plans, or does it? The twist ending leaves a lot to be desired. As usual, Bela Lugosi is the best thing in the film, and handles his role professionally throughout. The real Martin and Lewis eventually sued Mitchell and Petrillo, ending their mimickry. |
| User Reviewpeter hthe comedy antics of the the two central characters is reason enough to stay away from this cinematic piece of tripe. And once again it proves that Lugosi should have quit while he was ahead during Dracula. The locations do give it an exotic feel, even the natives are mostly Caucasian. |
| User ReviewBrian BAnother low point in Lugosi's career. |
| User ReviewJordan KTwo entertainers get lost on their way to Guam and land on an isolated Pacific Island. The inhabitants are natives as well as a mad scientist (played by Lugosi; there are vampire references done in a comedic manner). The scientist literally makes a monkey out of one of the entertainers. Too much singing in this rather unfunny comedy-horror. The pair of entertainers very closely resemble Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (who aren't funny in their own right) and apparently Lewis even sued to have this film blocked from release. Maybe he should have won. |
| User ReviewOrlok WDreadful! Make you actually long for the real Martin and Lewis! |
