Kong Island

Although the U.S. version of the film was advertised under the title "King of Kong Island", its actual on-screen title is "Kong Island," even though the film has nothing to do with King Kong.

As Turk is assisting Albert in implanting a mind control device into a gorilla's head, his surgical mask is not covering his nose. This defeats the goal of having a germ-free environment for the procedure to eliminate possible infections.

The Retromedia DVD release of this film has two versions of 'Eva, la Venere selvaggia' ('Eva, the Savage Venus') on it - 'Kong Island', a watered-down version of it that played in U.S. theaters in the late 1960s and 'King of Kong Island', the "uncut European version". The 'Kong Island' version looks the better of the two, but it is poorly panned and scanned and scenes of the thrill-seeking daughter's gorilla-observed striptease and the whole introduction of Esmeralda Barros' topless female Tarzan character have been cut, as well as several instances where Barros' long hair fails to hide her bosom. Despite Retromedia's hype of "See: chicks without their tops", these scenes are unlikely to rustle even the most conservative of collars nowadays. The 'King of Kong Island' version restores all these previously cut scenes, has a new title sequence and presents the film in widescreen. Unfortunately, this version of the film has been sourced from a Greek home video release and so it features large Greek subtitles and film quality which is below par for a DVD presentation. An uncut letter-boxed British home video release on the 'Intervision' label in the early 1980s started the film with its U.S. 'Kong Island' credits, but concluded it with the Italian end credits (!) that allowed for a reprise of Barros' slow motion nude jog and alluded to the film's Italian/Spanish/U.S. financing.
