Kenya Boy · review
There's this concept of a show that is "So Bad It's Good" - as in, it is recognized to be a terrible movie/show, but its terrible-ness is so over the top that it is actually entertaining to watch. In fact, MST3K was founded on this principle. Kenya Boy is definitely one of those "So Bad It's Good" movies. As it started, I thought I was in for a standard Coming Of Age story, as a young boy is separated from his father in the heart of Africa at the start of war, and has to fendfor himself. Well, okay, I can go along with that.
And then, it starts to go off the rails. Just a little bit at first, with things like giant animals and such. But then it just goes absolutely nuts.
I won't go into all details because spoilers, but soon he (along with his father-mentor-figure) are fighting off literally hundreds of swarming tribesmen with nothing but a single spear. Giant frog! Giant snake! Which they ride! Giant lizard! The Lizard King! Blond jungle woman!
By the end of the movie it gets so crazy they add in actual Nazis,fighting dinosaurs and an atomic explosion.
Don't you dare go into this, expecting to take any of this seriously. It's a bad movie, sure, but it is damn entertaining. Especially if you want to watch it with a bunch of friends that like to one-up each other with snarky comments.
