About Costinha e o King Mong
A band of criminals attempt to capture King Mong, a giant gorilla who lives in the jungle, where a tribe worships him as a god. The criminals offer Costinha, the king of the jungle, as a gift to please the god. A mess ensues and all of the inhabitants of the jungle end up in a Brazilian circus. A parody of the 1976 King Kong remake.
Directed by Alcino Diniz, Costinha e o King Mong leans on a strong ensemble — Costinha, Ferrugem, Wilza Carla — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1977.
