Did you know …
That the film Dunston Checks In was based on a true story? It’s true! It’s the story of a full-grown orangutan who was captured and sent to a five-star hotel to be cooked and eaten at an illegal dinner focussing on rare and exotic game. “Dunston” (he didn’t have a name in real life) wasn’t given enough tranquilizers, however, and he woke up as his crate was passing through the hotel’s loading dock. He easily broke out of the crate (orangutans have nightmare strength, of course) and in the space of two or three minutes slaughtered everyone in the kitchen. Dunston then forced open the elevator doors, and leapt into the empty shaft, and that’s the last anyone ever saw of him! Some people say that he lives in the walls of the hotel still, biding his time until he can escape to his jungle home. Others say that he was crushed to death by an elevator that very same day. Only Dunston knows the truth!
PS—Before researching this, I had it in my head that Dunston was a chimpanzee! He’s not! You learn new things every day!
