''Mistress of the Apes'' is a 1979 film from Larry Buchanan.
The wife of a famous anthropologist is rushed to hospital in labor. At the same time, druggies raid the hospital looking for drugs, causing the baby to be stillborn. While recovering from the trauma, she learns that her husband has disappeared in Africa. She launches an expedition to find him, but is shocked to discover the missing link. She's even more surprised to find that they want her to become their queen.
!!Tropes:
* CaughtInASnare: Towards the end of the movie, Thurston gets caught in a snare set by Near Men.
* EvilPoacher: Thurston is secretly the head of the largest poaching ring in Africa. He hires two local poachers, Brady and Sikes, to kill the other members of the expedition so they do not discover his secret.
* GreatWhiteHunter: Paul Cory is actually a journalist for a nature magazine, but he dresses and acts the part.
* GroinAttack: While breaking free in an attempt to warn Paul of the ambush, Laura knees Brady in the balls. Brady keeps bitching about this for the rest of the film, and tortures her to extract revenge.
* GunNut: David Thurston loves guns and in an EstablishingCharacterMoment, spends several minutes waxing lyrical about his new Remington hunting rifle, despite the fact no one else in the room is interested.
* MsFanservice: Susan takes her top off at the drop of a hat.
* RapeDiscretionShot: Thurston offers his wife Laura to the {{Evil Poacher}}s Brady and Sikes as part of their deal. The pair grab her and Sikes starts groping her and Brady holds her. The camera cuts away just before Sikes rapes her.
