FORGOTTEN CLASSICS: KUNG FU GORILLA!
08.31.09Today’s Forgotten Classic clip comes from a 1977 film called Bruce Lee the Invincible. It was directed by Chi Lo, which if I’m not mistaken is Chinese for “Skee-Lo,” and the title is just slightly misleading in that Bruce Lee wasn’t involved with the film in any way, and had been dead for four years when they made it. A more honest title would’ve been A Film Not Starring Bruce Lee, Who Clearly Was Not Invincible. Though that’s not very catchy. Maybe “Kung Fu Gorilla,” considering the star fights a gorilla who knows kung fu, and you’d think that would’ve been a selling point. Also, the gorilla is wearing shoes. Then again, if he knows kung fu, I’m not sure how much of a stretch it is for him to also know how to wear shoes.


“I wish I was a rittre bit tarrer, I wish I was a barrer, I wish I had a gilr who rooked good, I would carr hel…”
Did I say “hammered” and “Outer Limits” earlier?
Clearly, no work is going to be done this afternoon if you keep posting stuff like this.
Judo Marmoset thinks this is bullshit.
Still better than Kangaroo Jack.
@Pauly–probably explains why Asians wanted to keep “gorilla” out of the title.
I preferred Brandon Lee is Bulletproof starring Trigger-Happy Racoon.
Isn’t Will Smith remaking this?
I always thought it was weird when a back guy showed up in a Kung Fu flick.
Jane Goodall totally hit that.
Gorillas in the Fist!
Shoot Al, don’t blame DNA, blame the Yellow Tail.
Kung Fu Gorilla’s signature move?
Flung Poo.
He’s be a more effective fighter if he didn’t stop every 10 to masturbate. I guess that would make us all more effective.
ell0, I was working so hard to get a Gorilla Missed joke put together I bruised a rib. You win.
Can’t I blame both?
He’d be a better typist than me too.
Yes.
I’d like to see Kung Fu Gorilla starring David Carradine -Hangin’ with the Grasshoppa.
*chest bumps Crappy*
Ow
Watch your boobs, Elle0. Someone relies on those for food.
I’ve seen more convincing gorillas in the elephant enclosure. The keepers at that zoo really need to get a handle on things.
I wish I could make cheese
I think I just got lactated on. AW-SOME!
When Master kept fucking with Kung Fu Gorilla with the whole snatch the pebble from my hand crap, KFG lost his shit and just ripped Master’s arms out of their sockets.
Tai Chi Chimp abhors violence.
Is he a Shaolin monkey?
You’ve earned my undying respect for the Skee-Lo reference. Until you do something lame that is.
He may be wearing sneakers, but they’re LA Gear, so everybody laughs at his K Mart shopping ass.
After the fight “Bruce” looks into the camera and says: “King Kong ain’t got shit on me!”
Interrupt a gorilla fucking a tree and thats what you get
“Hey, one gorilla two gorilla. . . what’s the difference?”
I’m suprised that “Bruce Lee” the Invincible didn’t take KFG down with electricity. Everyone knows you got to shock the monkey.
You lost the fight. You broke my heart. Kung Fu Gorilla my dreams.
I wish my human son was that cool.
