Mighty Joe Young is a 1998 family film, and loose remake starring Bill Paxton and Charlize Theron and directed by Ron Underwood. The movie was about a silly gorilla at a zoo who liked to take drumps on unsuspecting humans. One day, Bill Paxton while on a date at the zoo noticed Mighty Joe Young taking a dump on a red haired child and thought he had great potential in show business. When Bill Paxton tried to get Joe to sign a contract for a 23 movie deal with Bananas Pictures, M.J.Y. pooped on him then snapped his neck. Charlize Theron then approached the ape and thanked him because Bill Paxton was actually a rapist named Jackson Dangler who was wanted by the F.B.I., who Charlize Theron was an agent of. The movie ends with the third ever monkey/woman wedding. There is also a deleted scene where the monkey beats up a polar bear nazi who is armed with a pistol.

It won every major Accademy Award with M.J.Y. taking home the oscar for Best Gorilla of the Year. Mighty Joe Young did not show up to the award cermony; in a later interview, he calimed the act in protest of the unfair treatment of other gorillas in cinema, he then proceded to fart into the microphone and then laughed. Since then Joe has settled down with his wife Betsy Ross. They have 32 children together, half of them named Potsie and the other half named Ralph Mouth.


The Movie's score was done by famous jazz pianist Gerald "Poopsie 'Sax'" Mason


Mighty Joe Young is the highest Grossing Movie of all time. It was made for $1 and grossed over $78,000,000,000.


The film is rapper Method Man's favorite movie as well as movie director George Lucas who was quoted saying, "This film was better than 9 Star Wars".
