Ed Malone (Jeff Denton) climbs a small hill and sees the cockpit about a mile distant.

They are startled by the arrival of Lieutenant Colonel Challenger (Bruce Boxleitner), who managed to travel alone to the downed plane, carrying a briefcase he doesn't seem to want to part with.

The natives are discovered to be survivors from a crash long ago, and have developed a sacrificial rite to appease the creatures of the jungle.

However, the sacrificial ceremony fails when a giant ape (Gigantopithecus) attacks a swarm of flying dragon-like lizards, and Dana (who faked being brainwashed) saves Ed.

They meet up with Challenger and Rita, then spot military jets overhead, moving in to attack the giant ape, but are destroyed.

HorrorTalk found the movie to be one of the Asylum's best, stating "The bottom line is King is a fun romp through the jungle from beginning to end.
