4. Gorillas in the Mist
《霧中猩猩》
Sigourney Weaver stars in this true story as renowned naturalist Dian Fossey who dedicated her life to studying the rare mountain gorillas of the Congo jungle. Fossey gets up close and personal with the gorillas, often working within feet of them and even develops a way to communicate with the beasts. She takes up their cause with the Rwandan government, hoping to put an end to the horrendous poaching in the area, but is dismissed. Fossey then sets out on a personal crusade to take care of it herself -- even staging a fake execution of one of the poachers in an attempt to frighten away tribesmen that would continue the practice. On December 26, 1985, Fossey is mysteriously murdered in the bedroom of her cabin.
該片由真實事件改編.西格妮·韋弗出演著名的自然學家黛安·福西.她將畢生精力投入了剛果叢林稀有的高山猩猩的研究中.福西與猩猩近距離接觸,全身心投入,工作時與它們僅幾步之遙,甚至能用某種方式和它們進行溝通.福西向盧旺達政府諫言,呼吁當局出臺規定,終止猖獗的偷獵,卻無人理會.福西不得不憑一己之力對抗偷獵者——甚至模擬了一番行刑,以殺雞儆猴.然而,1985年12月26日,福西在小屋床上遭神秘人殺害.
Banana Bonus: Wasn't that awesome when Ripley took out that poacher with the grappling-gun and blasted him into space!? Oh, wait. We're confused.
看點：看著大熒幕上的里普利手持矛槍,毫不留情地將偷獵者統統射入太空中,是不是想大呼過癮?康鵲?好像是《異形》亂入了……（譯者注：里普利是西格妮·韋弗在《異形》中的角色）
3. Mighty Joe Young
《巨猿喬揚》
Swiped from his African home, Joe -- a powerful giant gorilla -- becomes a sensation on the Hollywood scene. Performing at a nightclub, he shows off his abilities by doing things like winning a game of tug-of-war against 10 strongmen. But Joe's gotten homesick. During an organ-grinder act with one of his keepers, the lovely Jill, Joe storms off the stage. A few winos slip him some booze, and that's when all hell breaks loose. Joe goes on a rampage, and a court orders the beast put to death. That's when Jill and her friends come up with a plan to save the gorilla and get him back home. Joe redeems himself at the end of the picture, in a well-staged scene where he rescues children from a burning orphanage -- it's regarded as one of the greatest stop-motion sequences in movie history.

Banana Bonus: Charlize Theron might've looked hot in the 1998 remake, but '50s pinup Terry Moore was total babe sauce in the 1949 original.
看點：1998年,新版《巨猿喬揚》上映,主演查理茲·塞隆性感撩人.不過,依舊掩蓋不了1949年原版中泰瑞·摩爾的風采.
