Back off, Dino

One thing about Dara Singh: The man does not cotton to dinosaurs. He and dinosaurs are, in fact, natural enemies. I haven't finished watching King Kong yet, but I felt that I would be remiss in not sharing the following screencaps with you immediately. After all, it's important work we're doing here.











By the way, the King Kong in this picture is not the giant ape you might expect, but rather a bounteously man-boobed fellow wrestler of Dara's who looks an awful lot like Ken Davitian, the fellow who naked wrestled with Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat. This added an unpleasant dimension to those scenes in which Dara wrestled with King Kong, because I felt I had a pretty good idea of what nude King Kong would look like.

Can we introduce that dinosaur to Johnny Lever? Kthnxbai.

Wow! That is some reptilian creature :-) I love the shot of Dara standing inside his mouth. Look forward to the whole review!

Todd said...

Yes, reptilian, but somehow strangely bovine, as I think can be seen most clearly in the second cap down.

I'm not sure what my full review will consist of, because I really have no idea what's going on in this movie so far, but I will at least put up some more pictures.

Beth: Maybe he'd like to start off with a little Johnny Walker as an aperitif.

Nahiiin! I love Johnny Walker, you leave him alone!

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

Todd said...

Okay, Memsaab, in the spirit of the holiday, we will pardon Johnny Walker. And thank you, I did manage to have a good one, despite all the disturbing news from overseas. I hope you did the same.

I say let the dinosaur go to town on both Johnnies, and if we can throw Franco and Ciccio in there too, why not?

Todd said...

I'd like to think that there's a special circle in Hell reserved for comic relief actors -- and that, when they get there, a steam-snorting bovine dinosaur much like the one pictured is waiting for them.

Keith said...

I should stop looking for things to buy. I just noticed that there's another Dara Singh movie called Tarzan versus King Kong, and it looks like he does indeed lock up with a guy in a ratty gorilla costume.

Todd said...

Yeah, I have it in the pile and hope to get around to reviewing it in the next few weeks. I hope it really is King Kong this time, because I've now seen enough of the loudly grunting, obese professional wrestler by that name to last me a lifetime.

That's a cool looking dino!
