Date Sold 6/26/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 8 1980s REPRODUCTION 8x10 stills from Killer Ape, the 1953 Spencer Gordon Bennet science fiction (sci-fi) jungle action adventure thriller ("Torrid, thundering jungle thrills!"; "Drug-mad beasts ravage human prey!!!"; "Based upon the famous Jungle Jim King Features Syndicate newspaper feature") starring Johnny Weissmuller (as Jungle Jim), Carol Thurston, Tamba ("The Talented Chimp"), Max Palmer (as the "Man Ape"), and Burt Wenland. In this movie, Jungle Jim encounters a giant "man-ape", who is apparently the result of some weird experiment by a mad scientist (this certainly greatly resembles the "giant people" from "Jungle Jim in the Forbidden Land" made two years earlier), and both sets of creatures greatly resemble the "manimals" from "Island of Lost Souls". In this movie, the title "killer ape" is played by Max Palmer, who was billed as being 8'6" and weighing 450 lbs (but it was standard practice at that time for all "giants" to have one foot added to their height, so he likely measured 7'6", which was still extremely large!). If anyone has seen this movie, and can give us more information about it, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that these come from a man who collected 1950s and 1960s horror/sci-fi for many decades (at least since the 1980s). He knew that there were some stills (especially great candid ones) that were SO scarce that he might never acquire them, so on those, he would purchase high quality 8" x 10" reproductions (we believe he acquired those in the 1980s). We are auctioning a large number of his repro horror/sci-fi stills (including many candid images) in many bulk lots in this set of auctions. This is a rare opportunity to acquire nice reproductions of extremely scarce stills (including fantastic candid images we have never seen before)! Condition: very good to fine. The REPRODUCTIONS are in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
