     KONG ISLAND (1968)

     BRIDE OF THE GORILLA stars Raymond Burr as the foreman of a tobacco plantation in Borneo, with designs on (a) the plantation, and (b) the plantation owner's hot blonde trophy wife. He kills the old guy using a venomous snake. However, he incurs the wrath of an old native witch-woman, because, (a) she's loyal to the plantation owner, and (b), Burr has kicked her hot native niece to the curb in favor of  Peroxide Barbie. To avenge these slights, the witch slips a wee sumthin'-sumthin' in Burr's drink, causing him to periodically turn into a yutz in a moth-eaten gorilla suit.

      Also giving a standout performance is Lon Chaney Jr. as a native (!) police chief.

    KONG ISLAND has a bunch of no-name Italians running around in the story of a mad doctor who has figured out a way to transistorize gorillas, so he can TAKE OVER THE WORLLLLLLLD!

     There's also a hot jungle girl known as "The Sacred Monkey", for  some reason.
