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.
力大無比的喬本是來自非洲的一只大猩猩，卻陰差陽錯成了好萊塢明星。喬在一家夜總會工作，憑借力氣大謀生：比如扳手腕，他竟能以一敵十。身處花花世界，喬卻有些思鄉(xiāng)。一次在與善良的馴獸師吉爾共同演奏風琴時，他瘋了似地沖下臺。之后被幾個酒鬼灌了點酒，事情變得一發(fā)不可收拾：他徹底發(fā)了狂。法院下令，將他處死。吉爾和她的朋友打算把喬救出監(jiān)獄，送他回故鄉(xiāng)。影片結尾處，喬的靈魂終獲救贖：一家孤兒院不慎失火，喬沖入火中，救出了所有孩子。片中這一幕拍的很好，已成為影史上延時拍攝的經(jīng)典。

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。
