 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ingagi is a 1930 Mockumentary Exploitation Film, following the expeditions of Great White Hunter duo Sir Hubert Winstead and Captain Daniel Swayne, as they venture into Darkest Africa to collect animal specimens. While there, the hear of a terrifying local custom: supposedly, a nearby tribe sacrifices its women to a troop of Killer Gorillas as a way to avoid gorilla attacks. The gorillas take the women as sex slaves, and, allegedly, hybrid children have even been produced. Winstead and Swayne set out to put a stop to this, along the way running into unique local fauna.The film passed itself off as a legitimate documentary when it was first released, but was quickly exposed by those who saw through it. The American Society of Mammalogists investigated, and discovered that Winstead and Swayne were not real people at all. The producers were also sued after it was revealed that some of the safari scenes had been stolen from an earlier, legitimate documentary. The Motion Picture Producers and Distributors Association withdrew their approval after the fakery came to light. However, proving that there's No Such Thing as Bad Publicity, the news that it was a lie attracted new audiences, who wanted to see what all the fuss was about. This made Ingagi a box-office success, and inspired RKO Radio Pictures to invest in Killer Gorilla films to attract those same profits. Yes, it's very possible that there would be no King Kong without Ingagi!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It spawned an unofficial sequel, Son Of Ingagi, in 1940. The first horror film with an all-black cast, Son Of Ingagi follows a female Mad Scientist who is keeping an ape-monster in a cage in her basement.It can be watched in its entirety via the Internet Archive.

 Darkest Africa: The opening text crawl uses this exact phrase when describing Winstead and Swayne's expedition. All the trope's hallmarks are on full display, from killer animals at every turn, to Hollywood Natives with backwards customs.

 Heinous Hyena: A hyena is spotted near the camp, and is implied to be a man-eater. The explorers shoot at it to scare it off. There's also a creepy close-up of one sneering and doing the infamous laugh.

 Killer Gorilla: The gorillas regularly raid a nearby tribe. To appease them, the tribe sacrifices one of their women to the beasts. It turns out that the gorillas are holding the women as sex slaves, and even breeding with them.
