89. KING KONG ESCAPES

Fifty Years of Shit Robots

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Every week we rate the robot from a movie, if it gets a score of 7 out of 10 then we say that it is not a shit robot. Today, we are deep-diving into the waters of a 1967 US/Japan co-pro called KING KONG ESCAPES. It features an enormous robot King Kong, what's not to love? Almost everything

WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
