Movie Information

Hail to the Chimp! is a movie shown at the Springfield Drive-In. Its plot is based around a monkey president of the USA.
Plot
As only a few scenes are shown, the plot is hard to piece together. The first scene shows two officials complaining to the president about his report, which is full of technical jargon. The chair the president is sitting on turns round, revealing him to be a chimp, and he beats the officials up. The second scene shows the chimp jumping out of a burning plane which looks to resemble Air Force One.
