Congo (1995)A monkey scientist, a mercenary (played by Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson), a technology specialist (legitimate actress, Laura Linney), and a Hungarian treasure hunter (Tim Curry) travel to the jungle with a gorilla (played by a lady in a monkey suit) tricked out with a magic glove that allows her to “speak” via sign language in order to find an ex-fiance (Bruce Campbell), a diamond, a lost city, and a home for a misfit gorilla. The scene on the airplane in which Amy the gorilla requests “raindrop drink” (a martini) is the most amazing thing ever captured on celluloid.
Surf Ninjas (1993)
A pair of brothers discover, after the untimely death of their adoptive father, that they are princes of a small island country called Patusan. With the help of a guy in an eye patch, a detective (played by Tone-Loc), and their friend (Rob Schneider, playing a high school student at age 30), they must save their homeland from the evil Colonel Chi (Leslie Neilson with a robot arm).
