An obvious ripoff of ''[[Film/KingKong King Kong]]'', the film served as a basis for a comic book series, and a novel based on the film was published around the time of the film's initial release.

'''''Konga''''' (or '''''I Was a Teenage Gorilla''''') is a 1961 British/American science fiction horror film starring Michael Gough (of ''Batman'' fame) in the lead role of Dr. Charles Decker. After being assumed dead for a year, Decker returns home with several specimens of carnivorous plants and a baby chimpanzee, whom he dubs Konga. Decker had conducted experiments on plants during his time in the African wilderness, and seeing the potential of stimulating plant growth, Decker injects a serum into Konga's circulatory system, causing him to reach his adult size in less than a minute. However, when the dean of the Essex University threatens his research, Decker doubles the dosage and sends the primate to kill all of his rivals.

* {{Yandere}}: Guess who.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Not in the film itself, but in the novel, he attempts to save a young woman who had fallen victim to one of his many Venus flytraps, to no avail.
