I've just watched White Pongo for the first time and found it great fun. It's one of those movies that is unintentionally funny.
A group of scientists from London head to the jungles of Africa to search for a missing link white gorilla creature that lives there. They intend to capture it. They find it and, as often happens in these sort of movies the creature takes a fancy to the only woman in the party and kidnaps her and takes her to its home, a cave. She manages to escape and the gorilla (Ray Corrigan in a white gorilla suit) has a fight with another gorilla (a man in a monkey suit) and is then captured.
This movie is several unintentionally funny moments, including that fight at the end. We also get to see several other men in monkey suits romping about. White Pongo himself looks more like a Yeti to me.
As mentioned above, White Pongo is played by Ray Corrigan who has often played gorillas in movies and his others include Nabonga and The White Gorilla. He also was in the sleuth suit in Unknown Island and played the monster in It! The Terror From Beyond Space.
White Pongo is certainly worth viewing. Great fun.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
