Is this one of those gorillas who speaks sign language and does he have access to a legit training camp?

Important variable, IMO

Imagine these people jumping on the gorilla, it'd look like they attacked a woodchipper.

It's hard as hell to catch a chicken who is intent on escape. A 500 lb gorilla is at least as quick as a chicken.

The movement of a monkey that size is as big a problem as the strength.

I see this playing out much like Omaha Beach on D-Day. The first few waves of men will get dispatched quickly. There will be mass fatalities. Eventually the endless wave of humans will simply wear out the beast and end this hilarious scenario.

Sounds like a Zapp Brannigan strategy

Attack how exactly? Remember, you have no weapons. I they really going grab and lock up with a gorilla? It's center of gravity is perfect for it's strength. He'd break through those weak holds like Bo Jackson breaking tackles

Here's a top five gorilla fights video. #3 is a silverback vs four smaller gorillas and it shows exactly how hard to handle a big gorilla is when it's ready to fight. Any of those smaller gorillas would eff a person up and all four don't really come close to messing with the silverback.

It would have to be like a comical pile of humans on top of corpses on top of the gorilla

Like all those Agent Smiths on top of Neo in the 2nd Matrix movie.

Playfully wrestling with a large, domesticated, docile dog is hard. Imagine that times 100.

If there is a time limit involved, I'm in this boat.

Obviously, two hundred men, in waves of 10 over an hour would exhaust a gorilla until it just passed out from exhaustion.

But the beast would stack bodies before that occurred.

It was also a weak lady that was not expecting that.

But I get what you're saying and agree.

I'm not reading through 14 pages but I assume that Chuck Norris has already done this with one hand tied behind his back while suffering from a case of severe food poisoning.

And I can't speak to their endurance, but they are mammals that are biologically very similar to humans, but have the ability to survive in the jungle and climb trees and shite, so I assume its pretty good.


A gorilla exists in a constant state of either chilling or working out, and there really isn’t much in between. So if he’s only running around and climbing trees 20% of the time, he’s still working out way more than any human on earth.

Not looking through 14 pages, but...I did
read once that a full grown gorilla could bench press 6,000 pounds.

So, let’s keep the gorilla population in the jungles and not playing human or we are extinct.
