“Queen Kong” Trailer

By John Q. Sanchez on October 10, 2007 | Share & Save | Link | Print |


Kooky FoF pal Miss Understood sent in this campy clip. Though it’s a comedy, “Queen Kong” looks very much like “King Kong” but with boobs (not on the ape, though). The beauty who attracts the beast this time is a foppish fella with a taste for chicken-feather boas. Also stars inflatable dinosaurs, a pugnacious priest, a pervy plant, and Rula Lenska.

Beauty and the beat:
Click through, and you will see “Queen Kong” star Robin Askwith perform his song “Confessions” on TV with four tiny dancers while looking like Ewan McGregor in “Velvet Goldmine.”

I love it. I just bet Miss Understood was googling Rula Lenska again and Queen Kong popped up! Thank you.

When I was a kid everyone was asking “Who the hell is Rula Lenska?”

From Wikipedia:

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, [Rula Lenska] became famous in the United States and Canada as well for her Alberto VO5 hair products commercials that began with a closeup of her stating: “I’m Rula Lenska”. People assumed this was a product endorsement by a celebrity whose name the advertisers expected them to know, but it later was revealed that this was a marketing ploy. It worked, and thus in the United States she became famous for pretending to be famous. Most people in the U.S. were not aware that she had an acting career in the United Kingdom, and believed she was just a model.

OMG, Marc I freakin’ LOVE you!!! I make jokes about Rula Lenska all the time and people never know who I’m talking about. The only reason I remember her is because on the original Pee Wee Herman HBO special his head-in-a-box Genie, Jombie, is doing impressions and he goes “Linda Blair” and spins around like the possessed teen did in the Exorcist, then he yells “Peggie Flemming” and does a triple spin like the famous figure skater, and finally he says “Rula Lenska”, smiles politely and recites the beginning of those VO5 commercials… “friends are here from Europe”.

Guess you had to be there. But her name has stuck in my mind all these years, so I’m glad to hear someone else remembers her.

This video reminds me of some people I know.
