Space exploration and inter-galactic sexual pollination is the theme of this 2002 King Kong opus, in which the intrepid Ethan Buckler journeys to Planet Kong to become its king, aided by cheesy disco music, spacey sound effects, and a powerful thruster. Penetrating further into B-52s territory than previously thought possible, Buckler encounters black holes, light-speed travel, and ethereal girlie choruses, before achieving his goal of combining space travel and space-suited eroticism in one final cosmic blow-out.
Industry Reviews
6 out of 10 - ...A slightly unnerving mix of New orleans funk, wonky retro synths and hymns to the Planet kong intoned by the powerfully tuneless Buckler...an excellent soundtrack to Flash Gordon's bachelor party...
