| Bride Of The Gorilla | comment |
Bride of the Gorilla is a 1951 B-Horror film written and directed by Curt Siodmak and starring Raymond Burr, Barbara Payton, Lon Chaney Jr., and Tom Conway.The film centers around Barney Chavez (Burr), a manager at South American a rubber plantation who murders his boss (Klaas Van Gelder, played by Paul Kavanagh) in order to marry his wife (Payton). Due to the odd method of killing, he is able to avoid conviction by the local police (Chaney). However, Al-Long (Gisela Werbisek), an elderly native woman, witnessed the murder, and as punishment for his crime places a curse on Barney. Soon after, Barney begins acting strangely, becoming obsessed with the jungle and disappearing at night. At the same time, reports begin to crop up of a gorilla-like beast terrorizing the locals.Not to be confused with The Bride and the Beast, an Ed Wood film with a similar title, or with Gorilla At Large, another gorilla movie featuring Raymond Burr. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp" | |
| Bride Of The Gorilla / int_5ac34441 | comment |
Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Despite being potrayed by a man in a gorilla suit and the movie being called Bride of The Gorilla, the creature Barney Chavez turns into is never actually referred to in-universe as a gorilla; Taro identifies it as a Súkara, which is described as a "jungle demon". | |

Brownface | |
| Bride Of The Gorilla / int_5dc04c4e | comment |
Brownface: Hungarian Gisela Werbisek plays Native South American Al-Long. Lon Chaney Jr. as Commissioner Taro is an extreme case of the "Informed Attribute" variation; viewers have no way of knowing the character is a Native South American until it's explicitly said in the film. | |

Hungry Jungle | |
| Bride Of The Gorilla / int_79631cf | comment |
Hungry Jungle: In the opening narration, Taro describes the jungle as beautiful but deadly, and it's credited with the Laser-Guided Karma / Sanity Slippage experienced by Barney Chavez. | |

Gypsy Curse | |
| Bride Of The Gorilla / int_d2c125f3 | comment |
Gypsy Curse: With the Magical Romani swapped out for a Hollywood Native South American; after Barney jilts Larina and murders his boss, Al-Long curses him to "be like a animal", turning into a gorilla periodically. It's actually made ambiguous as to whether this is an actual curse or if it's all in Barney's head. It's heavily implied that Al-Long had slipped Barney a plant that made him hallucinate he was a gorilla. | |
