Well, ya gotta love those $1 DVD's. I picked this up awhile ago and finally watched it while I was snowbound on Fri. Bela plays a mad scientist on the island of Coca-Cola. He conducts experiments on a chimp named "Ramona" (played by "Cheeta"). Arriving on the island are two entertainers named Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo who were obviously cashing in on the fame of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Mitchell was never going to be a threat to Dean Martin, but I have to admit that Petrillo resembled and sounded alot like Jerry Lewis. The movie was very silly and quite bad. But I suppose some will say "it's so bad, it's good." I'm sure it's a cult film somewhere. I'm just happy that I didn't pay more than $1 for it!! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I've bought several of those $1 DVDs and some of them have actually turned out to be pretty decent! So this is obviously a comedy/horror, huh? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Maybe I'll see if I can catch this one. I could handle $1, I reckon! ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

The question becomes: do I mind Bela Lugosi in Brooklyn? I think I do! But I really don't want to spend a dollar to see Bela Lugosi and a gorilla. No, it makes much more sense to me to spend the money to go to the zoo and see the gorilla. The rest should be free - at least free of me having to see it!

I have no idea where the title comes from since the action takes place on a desert island!! LOL ;D But, there is a "twist" ending which was pretty surprising!!

Do you remember the TV show "Mystery Science Theater 3000?" This is the kind of movie that would've been on that program (if that tells you anything!!) ;D

Yes, Kimmer, I remember MST 3000. It was a very funny and clever show that played all those cheesy sci-fi movies, adding snarky commentary from the "audience" - two wisecracking robots and their human friend.

I loved "MST 3000!" ;D It wasn't available on our cable system (typical) so I rarely got to see it, but it always made me laugh!! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I would really like to see this movie (so tar and feather me!!!). I read an article in Filmfax magazine (is this still available) about the film and they interviewed the stars. The Martin and Lewis pretenders came from burlesque (if I remember rightly) and they did meet the real Martin and Lewis as well, but, they said Jerry Lewis was less than friendly. ( I wonder why !!!!!!). I love Bela Lugosi - he is my favourite horror star - and I would be more than happy to see him in anything.
