“Mega Ape” (0 stars out of four) was a mega-awful horror comedy about a genetically engineered ape who escapes from a top-secret research facility and runs rampant in Hollywood while various environmentalists and law enforcement figures (Tom Sizemore, Bai Ling, Mel Nowak, and others) try to track him down. The kind of movie that makes the 1998 version of “Godzilla” and “Mighty Joe Young” look like Oscar fare by comparison. Incredibly cheap-looking in terms of effects and cinematography and stupid and boring on its own terms. Sadly, this was allegedly Sizemore’s final completed film but he’s wasted in only a few scenes.
