...that will complete the saga started with EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE, and followed up by EVERY WHICH WAY YOU CAN..
And none too soon, either. How long can the questions raised by these two films go unanswered, and the loose ends remain untied?
Look, there hasn't been a good monkey movie since Tony Danza teamed up with Danny DeVito in the madcap comedy antics of GOING APE. And don't try to bring up PROJECT X. That was WAY too serious, and it showed monkeys SMOKING. That's just dirty pool. Nosiree, there has just been a sad procession of pretenders to the throne when it comes to movies involving lower primates, like the one where Joey from FRIENDS taught a chimp to play baseball in the world series or something... And don't get me started on CONGO.
"Amy Shitty Monkey." Indeed.
Hollywood-- No, THE WORLD, is primed and ready for a good, solid, monkey movie. I am supremely happy.

: Hey, I'm a fan like the rest of you, and I'm not here to suppress the good
