Gordy the Monkey explained<\/strong><\/h2>\nGordy is pretty much the first thing we see in Nope and it\u2019s immediately clear from the sounds of shrieks and screams \u2013 not to mention the fact he is covered with blood \u2013 that something has gone badly wrong.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t learn quite what his significance is, however, until slightly later on, when OJ and Em come face to face with Jupe, who runs a tacky Western-themed amusement park near their ranch.<\/p>\n
It turns out that Gordy was the star of a popular family sitcom titled Gordy\u2019s Home, which Jupe had starred in as a child, and one day the chimp had suddenly gone wild \u2013 attacking most of the cast and crew and killing several of them in the process.<\/p>\n
In fact, Jupe was the only cast member who survived the attack unscathed, and now several years later he is profiting off the story \u2013 he keeps a room full of merchandise and memorabilia which he rents out at extortionate rates.<\/p>\n
Later \u2013 in a truly blood-curdling scene \u2013 we see the entire incident play out from Jupe\u2019s perspective, including a moment where it looks like Gordy is going to turn on him as well.<\/p>\n
