CONGO BAD MOVIE REVIEW | Double Toasted

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Michael Crichton was so huge in the 90s, anything with his name on would get made. His books like Jurassic Park, Lost World, Disclosure, Congo, Sphere, and Eaters Of The Dead became movies which came out in the 90s, his screenplay for Twister was made, and he created ER for tv which became a huge hit

[@Psmgamer]

Never knew he wrote Twister.

[@JamieSwitzer]

Whoa i didn't know that

[@flanagamer]

You forgot Westworld 🤠

[@FestArc]

And we need a Crichton resurgence. I know he's no longer with us but if we could get some new film adaptations of his novels that would be amazing. Also, don't forget that Westworld was based on the movie he wrote and directed. I would love to see new film adaptations of his novels. Especially ones that haven't been touched yet. Dragon Teeth, Prey, State of Fear, Pirate Latitude, and Micro for sure.

[@Emplordxiii]

The movie Jurassic Park was in production before the book it’s based on was released. The Lost World novel was made because Universal greenlit a sequel before the book even existed.

[@michaelsinger4638]

This movie commits the cardinal sin of wasting Bruce Campbell. Tim Curry is freaking hilarious here. And Ernie Hudson as Black Clark Gable essentially is awesome.

[@DanCookMovieReviews]

In the words of Gene Siskel, “CLARK GABLE??”

[@GUNUFofficial]

I can excuse it with Tim Curry and Ernie Hudson.

[@TheLanceUppercut]

This movie is so chock full of amazing side characters that they just didn't have enough time for more than 5 minutes of Bruce.

[@sophiaandre139]

My mom took us to see Congo in theaters. And we all loved it. Good times! 😂

[@poohadn]

I love Double Toasted because it seems like they're having the time of their lives every time I watch them

[@olliesmith4997]

And I love every second of it

[@razalees]

Makes you wish you were in the room too! I was just thinking that, like man these guys would be the coolest friends to have

[@blameitonthebubble5294]

Ah yes, the 90s tradition of having Bruce Campbell in your movie for five seconds.

[@guthax30]

I admit: The Amy animatronic fooled me for a few seconds. Stan Winston is a true legend.

[@TheLanceUppercut]

I admit: when I was a kid and first saw this movie, I thought they trained a real gorilla to do sign language.

[@BudokaiTH]

When I was little, Congo terrified me, specifically the killer Gorillas. But as an adult, this movie makes me laugh and I do still enjoy it, despite the obvious issues it has.

[@GojiraRising]

"Stop eating my sesame cake!" Edit: I loved this movie as kid and still do as an adult, the ending still gets teary me eyed.

Ernie Hudson was one of my fav parts about this movie….the great white hunter…who happens to be black 😂 that man had some Arnold level quips When the moon is like that, every monkey for 200 miles thinks he's Elvis Presley. Quite frankly, the twentieth century sucks. Maybe the twenty-first will be better. Herkermer Homolka : You've got to get me out of here! Monroe : Take a number. Dr. Peter Elliot : You're some kind of criminal, aren't you? Monroe : Aren't we all? Dr. Peter Elliot : No. I'm not a criminal, I'm a scientist. Monroe : Scientist? I run a few guns. You sons of bitches ruin the world.

[@liferealgood]

Lmao 😂

[@247cj]

Him hiding when that gorilla charged is still F'ing hilarious 😂

[@HeezNeez]

The most notable thing about this film for me is the intense debate me and my friend got into, over whether or not the monkeys actually fire the lasers. I was 100% sure they did. Yeah, they don’t. I’ll live with that shame forever.

[@blakeharris58]

Wow.

[@fangal12]

We would have to wait for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes to see apes wielding firearms. They weren't laser guns but close enough

[@poposterous236]

Do they fire lasers in the book? I know the guy who wrote the script didn't read the book either so I have no idea.

[@TheLanceUppercut]

I had the same argument with a friend of mine! He insisted that the gorillas fired the laser at some point.

[@joshjacks2837]

Decided to read up on Koko the Gorilla. Her big breakout was a cover story for National Geographic in 1978, two years before Congo was published.

[@davidruiz2474]

I still have a recurring nightmare where im running through my junior high school from the "ugly gorillas" and end up hiding in a random locker after seeing this movie when it came out 🙈

[@KThangFastLife]

This movie scared the hell out of me when I was little. I wouldn't go to the zoo till years after I saw this movie.

[@wrenneinzbern]

One of my favorite movies. Loved Laura Linneys character. Especially when she pulled out that diamond laser at the end.

[@reggiewolfpac7711]

I just watched Congo a couple of months ago I forgot Ernie Hudson, Dylan Walsh & Tim Curry was in it that was a trip this review was too funny & Billy is back let's go.

[@leinFlip]

fun fact, my HS physics teacher was in the air force durrring the cold war. He was in a cargo plane and he told us they exactly used flare guns to distract heat seeking missiles (they were early models so it didn't take much to divert them.)

[@mhaze210]

I forgot Bruce Campbell was in this. I saw Congo in theaters and I think Burger King or McDonald's was promoting it at the time. They really tried to get people interested by saying "based on the book by Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park".

[@cabe3231]

Billy's "Jesus Christ!" at 49:13 is 🤣

[@artarealmblazer]

This is a legendary review. This is the hardest Ive laughed throughout due to so many absurd scenes. And yet they did give it its props when it was due.

[@dee8171]

Lmao love Korey's marketing skills. Reminds me of how he pushed his double toasted T's in the older movie roasts. Congo, those gray gorillas scared tf outta me as a kid. I even had a nightmare about one. 😆

[@Zandersaurus]

34:45 they should’ve replaced Arnold Schwarzenegger to say his famous line, “Put that cookie 🍪 down! NOW!”

[@zackzaharko89]

Man I’m sorry but this film is so nostalgic for me from the 90s. I just love it & still an 8.5/10. Cast is amazing with Delroy Lindo, Tim Curry, Ernie Hudson, Dylan Walsh, Bruce Campbell & Joe Don Baker. The creepy gorillas haunted my dreams as a kid too!

[@mroctober3583]

You forgot Joe "Joey pants" Pantoliano and Laura Linney

[@tmacshawty]

I feel the same way! I know it’s bad but I love Congo!!!!

[@nightking0130]

As someone who has Romanian parents I have no clue what accent Tim curry is trying to do.

[@nosuchthing8]

Some east European accent

[@PixieMermaid-fz9rt]

I LOVE Congo! I will stop and watch that movie anytime and anywhere I see it on. A fun/brutal adventure movie with a not so typical cast, showcasing African scenery. And come on, Tim Curry and Ernie Hudson, I'm sold! 🤩

[@F.Hakeem89]

"STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE" that's the only thing I remember.

[@slightrebellionoffmadison]

Ernie Hudson is awesome in this movie: “Munroe Kelly - I’m your great white hunter for this trip - though I happen to be black.”

[@sidekickz2180]

I grew up in upstate NY. Sometimes the snow and ice would form patches of perfectly round, tiny ice crystals that kinda looked like small diamonds. My brother and I would play for HOURS... trying to horde/steal as many "lost diamonds of Zinj" as we could before the imaginary apes would kill us. We would come inside and warm up while we rewatched this movie. We'd do this every winter and every day that those special ice crystals could be found. Great memories, man We still, to this day, quote "STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE!" We're in our late 30s lol

[@kaylonthekidrs079]

Billy laugh will forever be comical 25:32😂😂😂

[@ericduran5818]

This movie is the definition of a guilty pleasure especially with those nostalgia glasses on, still holds up to this day change my mind lol 🤣

[@melodik-jt]

My favorite part, that has stuck with me since seeing this as a teen when this came out, is Delroy telling Tim Curry to, "stop eating my sesame cake!". He let him get the taste of it, then denied him anymore enjoyment. LMAO! I felt bad that he couldn't finish it.

I remember seeing this as a kid on the 90's. Probably rewatch it as I never understood what the movie was about besides apes.

I apparently have a buried memory of my childhood was my family having a coffee table book of the movie. 7 or 8 and reading what was basically a picture book that ran through the whole movie. Still haven't watched it and probably wouldn't have ever thought about it again without this review 🤣

[@Pamelamusic371]

Too funny, this was one of my favorite movies when it came out! To watch it thru this review is hilarious 😂

[@PrincessBunhead]

This was such a blast from the past. I remember everyone in town reading the book and talking about it, then going to the film and talking about it. School, church, the dance studio, everywhere we went people were talking about Congo. My mother tried to stop me from reading the book for one reason or another, but dad was such a fan of Crichton that he let me borrow his copy. I can remember during silent reading, more than half the class and the teacher had the book. It felt like Congo Fever never went away. Thanks for that memory!

[@orlandoruizjr3834]

This was one of the many summer movies of 1995 that was simply a fun time. That summer, we got Toy Story, Die Hard With A Vengeance, Water World, Batman Forever, Judge Dredd, The Net, Under Siege 2, and Species among others. Congo was in that line up of summer movies that I looked forward to. Every time it was on HBO I had sit down watch it. Very entertaining, thrilling, and even suspenseful. Ernie Hudson was the coolest guy in this too. Super charismatic. Laura Linney was a total badass, and Tim Curry was just fun to watch. Love this movie.

[@keldorthebluemack]

And all those movies were mediocre to terrible except the classic ones Toy Story and Die Hard 3

[@DrQuagmire1]

I enjoyed this movie as a teenager growing up, and the late great Jerry Goldsmith's score was one of the best things about this movie

[@rmeddy]

Yeah I kinda throw this in the same box as something like Demolition Man where there is a lot of bad, yes but I can't call it bad movie per se. It had a lot of cool visuals and ideas and the whole Amy "Ugly Gorilla"was kind of a joke in school back in the day

[@williambeckett6336]

Why can't these guys grasp? The accents are examples of the English Africans learned during the British colonial period in Africa. That accent is colonial British. The Africans learned it WITH the British accent and it morphed over the century during apartheid. If Korey doesn't like the African sunrise clich'e they need to do a bad movie roast double feature with Cannon films "King Solomon's Mines" and it's sequel "Allen Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold." Those two films (especially the second) are MASTER CLASSES in 1980's racial sensitivity filming. Seriously in every shot ignore the leads and look at the day players in the back at all times. Speaking of the leads this stars a VERY young Sharon Stone who still trying to forget these movies exist.

[@paulferguson1870]

Just now after decades I found out it was just another dude's head XD I watched this movie as a kid many times (loved it) but in vcr quality, and I don't think I watched it again as a grownup. I loved those times when the trailers didn't show much, I only knew it was from the JP writer, I loved the excitement of going clueless into a movie and this was an awesome experience.

Lots of people didn't know that Congo is supposed to be a call-back to old jungle adventure movies like King Solomon's Mines, just like how Spielberg's Indiana Jones films are a call-back to black and white serials of that era. If you go into Congo expecting that kind of cheese and not expecting a follow up to JURASSIC PARK it kind of helps... A little bit... It's still a bad film actually.
