Funny stuff. (spoilers ahead)

Yes this film exists. It is a parody of the 1933 version. When Dino Delaurentis saw that movie he sued him because he thought it was a parody of his multi million dollar remake, but it was a spoof of the 30's version. The gender tables are switched. There are plenty of gags. It is gagful. It had some British humor. The film offended blacks and gays for some reason, and that's why it wasn't released! I like that film, if this film was released at the same time as Dino Delaurentis' remake, everybody would go for that film. There are dinosaurs in this film, a T-Rex with jaws that sound like a squeaking door and a pterodactyl with a hook for a leg. The Big Ben gets climbed on, but unlike all the other Kong films, there is no blood and gore. She doesn't get shot down, she climbs down the Big Ben after Ray Fay tells the oppressed women of London to get freedom. Women's liberation was big back then! Other references apart from AIRPORT (1970), JAWS (1975), and THE EXORCIST (1973), was Andy Capp; a British comic strip. Other films Frank Agrama made was DAWN OF THE MUMMY (1980), and he was the producer for THE LOST WORLD (1992). Rated PG-13 for language, comic violence, nudity, sexual innuendo and thematic elements.
