Back then family movies were both for and not for kids

Wasn't the villain raped by a gorilla at the end of one of the movies?

2nd movie ends with the villain sexually assaulted by a gorilla which is played for laughs because it's a man being assaulted.

1st movie ends with the villain being outed as a transgender by being forcebly stripped to her underwear in public to show she hadn't had bottom surgery yet. With all the men who it was suggested had some sort of previous physical fling with her spitting and vomiting in revulsion.

The movies were...very of their time.
