After being lost in the forest as a child, Gu Yao is saved by a giant gorilla named Kingkong. Yes, that’s his name, this was made in China and no, lawyers really do have better things to do than get involved. As Gu Yao grows into an adult, he meets an expedition that has Ma Ke and her family, but soon those stupid, horrible want to do what they always want to do with giant apes and that’s either put them in shows or kill them or, well, both.

Gu Yao is pretty much Tarzan. Kingkongis pretty much King Kong.  Youku is pretty much the Chinese asylum, minus getting Eric Roberts to be in their movies. Actually, give it time, because the minute you think his name, a director with a six figure or less budget calls him. It’s just the way our world works.

This is also King Kong as in the latest movies, facial scars and all. If you’re going to screw with IP theft, go hard, you know? Go all the way. The Yooku channel is filled with AI-drawn images of monsters fighting Asian women who are dressed like Tomb Raider and man, it’s as if they are accessing my id and saying, “These movies are only 60 minutes or so.” Yes they are. They’re barely films. I love it.
