The Space Nazis | | All Movie Guide profile | | IMDb profile | 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.
