If the monkey section of your DVD library doesn't include Matthew Broderick's 1987 film, Project X, then you're missing one of the essential films in the primate genre. Broderick had made a name for himself a few years earlier playing "global thermonuclear war" in WarGames, but this film from The Accused director Jonathan Kaplan sees him trade Ally Sheedy and "Joshua" in for Helen Hunt and a chimpanzee named Virgil. He plays Jimmy, an Air Force soldier who learns of an experimental military project involving chimpanzees trained to operate flight simulators. The chimp at the center of the film, Virgil, is sent to the program after the research grant of his hottie caretaker (Hunt) is not renewed. Unfortunately, the project, which involves exposure to massive pulses of radiation, has a nasty side effect for the primate participants: death. Can Jimmy save the chimp and bag the broad? We don't wanna ruin it... but yes.
这部1987年的电影由马修·布罗德里克担纲主演,是“猴子电影的经典之作。此前,布罗德里克出演《战争游戏》,过了把玩“全球热核战的瘾,名声大噪。本片由执导过《暴劫梨花》的乔纳森·卡普兰执导。与布罗德里克对戏的不是艾丽·西蒂,也不是詹姆斯·阿克曼,而是女星海伦·亨特与一只名叫维吉尔的黑猩猩。布罗德里克饰演主角吉米,是一名空军战士,偶然发现了军方训练黑猩猩开飞机的实验项目。亨特饰演的性感驯兽师缺少经费,不得不将维吉尔送去做实验。然而,“X计划的辐射太强,不少黑猩猩没过多久便一命呜呼。吉米能做一回救猩猩的英雄、同时抱得美人归吗?我不该剧透的……是的,他做到了。
