Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) 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: Click on linked names to see a biography.
