King Kung Fu (1976)

This is the unforgettable story of a Chinese gorilla who knew karate. Raised as a lifelong house pet of Alfunku, a Chinese Karate Master, the gorilla uses Kung Fu to attack and defeat the Master during a lesson. Embarrassed, the Master gives him to the United States as a friendly gesture, where he is displayed in Wichita, Kansas. As a publicity stunt, the gorilla, King Kung Fu, is set free, and the police captain, J.W. Duke (bearing a remarkable resemblance to a certain famous western star) and his first officer, Pilgrim, get involved in an extensive chase to recover him - along with love interest, Rae Fey, and the rest of the town. The comedy and suspense continue until the girl and the gorilla end up on the tallest building in Wichita, the Holiday Inn. Full of cliches, spoofs, and a cast of memorable characters the whole family will love!
