Aroview: One of several knock-offs timed to coincide with the 1976 remake of KING KONG, this lamentable spoof imagines a gender reversal on the 'Kong' story strewn with plenty of sub-'Carry On' smut and humour.

Well-endowed 'Queen Kong' is found on an African island then giant taken back to London for a public show - complete with bra and panties - before escaping and climbing Big Ben for a final showdown. Legend has it this was legally suppressed by KING KONG moneyman Dino De Laurentis, which may have been doing audiences of the time a big favour. Needless to say, we should be thankful to now be free to savour this glorious turkey.
