Man, these B gems are fun to watch. Shaw Bros Studios definitely pay homage to the King....Kong that is. Beware the Mighty Gorilla suit!

This movie teaches you so much! When heartbroken, sign up for a dangerous, life threatening expedition which probably means getting only a one way plane ticket. Danny Lee is good as the hero and for donning those crazy big lapels. Other times, he looks like he had a fun time with Evelyne Kraft since he's always got his hands all over her! There's also a weird triangle going on...don't mess with a gorilla's woman. The big guy likes to watch. Kraft as Ah Wei is pure eye candy and she works well with Lee (I had to laugh at the sappy love chase scenes in the deep jungle...of INDIA??? I thought we were in Peking!). Also, Shaws pulled out all the budget stops with model villages and miniscule downtown Hong Kong. It just gets the film more points in the shlock category. Laughter ensues during the stampede guns firing at the rear projection screen. One villager really gets a "leg" up during the goofy tiger scene. 15 minutes into this one and you get a feeling who the sleazeball is going to be. Was it just me or was there a lot of sexual innuendo with Ms Tarzan and the tree/light pole straddling?

There's also reckless carnage, a crazy hellbent army commander, millions of dollars in property damage...well, maybe $100 worth of model kits. Watch for that big hairy hand and the kooky Tonka dump trucks. You know, despite the fact that there's a 6 story massive gorilla in the city, the people of Hong Kong took it very well.

Great kampy fun here, Shaw style!

This movie is terrible, I am not even moderately kidding. However, because it is so, so bad you have to see it. I laughed tonnes through the movie. Big guy in a gorilla suit, blonde jungle girl in an animal skin bikini with blue eye shadow, tonka trucks and other cheesy models, cheesy green screen scenes, blattant edits, lots of bad dialogue ('kill peking man, anyway you can') and a complete king kong rip-off.

I guarantee you'll laugh all the way through.

1/10 as a real movie 9/10 as a bad B movie

I learned a lot of things from "Mighty Peking Man":

• The Himalayas are tropical

• Leopards really enjoy it if you put them on your shoulders and spin them around

• A woman raised in the jungle can function perfectly well in society while still wearing a chamois bikini and barely speaking any sort of language

• After you've captured a one-of-a-kind animal completely unknown to science, the best way to profit from him is to stage a monster truck rally

"Mighty Peking Man" is a weird mutant hybrid of "King Kong" and all those 1950s giant bug movies, where whole blocks of downtown Hong Kong (or wherever they are) are made of very fragile models and toy vehicles. There is no way on Earth you can approach a movie like this seriously, to try to use the same standards of criticism and taste that apply to normal movies. There's a certain majesty here, an aura of utter ineptitude that transcends mere bad filmmaking and becomes art.

You gotta admire the can-do spirit of everyone involved in this movie -- I just know they were convinced they were making a classic. They probably wanted to surpass "King Kong" in grandeur and drama; instead they surpassed "Plan 9 From Outer Space" in camp and sheer manic idiocy. "Mighty Peking Man" sets a new standard in bad movies -- utterly inept and laughable, and yet highly entertaining.

Mighty Peking man(aka:Goliathon)is a clever film from hong Kong and India about a search for the missing link,called the mighty Peking man, which looks like a 60 ft tall yeti.an adventurer;johnny(Danny lee)finds it along with a sexy blonde bikinied jungle woman(evelyne kraft)who was raised by the giant Peking man.this movie is a personal favorite of Quentin Tarantino and i kind of enjoy it,even if it does have some flaws.its a beauty and beast tale.in the USA it was released as goliathon in 1979.i remember seeing the trailers at the plaza theater in Paterson new jersey.where i saw endless Godzilla,kung fu and b movies.evelyne kraft was stunning,sexy and wild.a must see.5 out of 10.

It's very fast-paced and very silly, which makes for a somewhat entertaining monster movie that's never quite as engaging or as charming as many of the old Godzilla movies it's clearly inspired by. I'd say it's not even as good as the 1976 version of King Kong (starring Jeff Bridges) that it was probably trying to capitalise off of.

Still, the schlocky set pieces are somewhat fun, and at 90 minutes with lots of action/special effects, you can't call it dull. And as the King Kong movies have shown, it's easier to have a monkey monster as a victim than a lizard monster as a victim (for the most part), and there are parts that do sort of make you feel bad for this big, slightly crazed looking giant monkey.

Probably a watch if you're starved for kaiju/monster movies.

I heard about this movie and found it in a recycle bin at the video store and bought it. I popped it in the VCR and watched in amazement as the movie unfolded. All I can say is WOW! This movie actually sucked so bad I had to turn away a couple of times, because the acting was so corny and ludicrous! Words cannot describe the lack of real plot (if there was suppose to be one) and the disjointed script. People who saw this tripe know what I am talking about. However if you like bad movies then watch this one and suffer like the rest of us. Obviously one of the worst movies ever made, but have fun anyway.

1 out of 10, and don't just go by my rating watch this movie!

Championed by Quentin Tarantino. A Shaw Brothers production (Runme Shaw and Vee King Shaw). Directed by Meng Hua Ho (The Oily Maniac, many others).

The back cover write-up on a recent dual format (blu/dvd) release refers to this film as the Shaw Brothers attempted cash-in on Japan's success with Godzilla. True enough, I would think, but the story really has more in common with the original King Kong...okay, with a bit of rampaging Godzilla action as well.

Highly entertaining if you're in the right mood. Some of the romantic and other jungle scenes in the first half of the film are downright hilarious. I wasn't expecting the beautifully captured scenic shots in the first half either but that was another plus. And the action in the latter half, when it comes, is pretty entertaining as well. A lot of the practical effects still hold up quite well. A couple of the effects are just plain goofy but it's all part of the film's charm.

Not sure why it took me so long to finally see this one but I'm glad I was able to watch the fully restored uncut version on Blu-ray...a very clean print.

It's one to kick back and have fun with. I did.

I didn't really know anything about this film before I started to watch it, the poster was bonkers with a scared jaguar on a blonde jungle woman's back and an angry ape in the background terrorizing citizens of a big city. The actual film isn't as exciting as that. Some rich men going to the library to find out about a mythical ape in the Indian jungles that they want for themselves and make money from. They find an unlucky explorer, Chen Zhenfeng, to do their work for them while the main-baddie enjoy his time in India with hugging easily-dressed ladies and drinking.

Chen not only finds the ape, but also a blonde jungle woman that was raised by the ape, and somehow he convinces her to take her and the ape to Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, things goes from bad to worse with the jungle woman running away from horny men on the streets, the ape going mad and destroys buildings, cars, anything it can find - and everything it hits explodes.

I don't think the creator of this film really understood the message of King Kong when they made this film. It's very cheesy and bad, the ape is obviously a man in a costume, you can see it both on the movements and the eyes. And the jungle woman sure wasn't very strong for having grown up in the jungle, she also learned cantonese very fast when communicating with Chen.

I've read some reviews calling this film 'so-bad-it's-good' but I wouldn't go that far, I might've chuckled 3-4 times throughout the film, but it isn't enough for me to recommend it. Watch it for the third act if you really want to see some miniatures getting destroyed.

I watched the dubbed version of this movie. Despite the logo that pops up every ten minutes, this movie still stinks. The dubbing is hilarious, and the effects are side splitting. This is THE worst movie I have ever seen. It even has product placement for gasoline.

Oh, and yeah, it is just a rip-off of King Kong. 1/10

Words cannot describe this movie, it must be experienced! Things to watch for: the explorers climb a cliff with no supplies, but somehow a huge tent filled with sleeping cots is set up in the next scene; the plane diary is in English in a Chinese movie and although the jungle girl can only grunt, she can read the handwriting in the diary with no trouble; the "costume" she wears keeps peeling off when she runs...you can even see some of the glue peeling in a couple scenes; AND, the tree-climbing scene is NOT to be missed!!!!!

From a pissed off looking leopard, a crying elephant and a giant peeping Peking ape, this one encompasses all that 70s camp fun and no holds barred fun making.A must see!

This unintentional comedy is pretty bad; actually, its mighty bad. The obvious ripoff of King Kong is dreadful from beginning to end, and should only be viewed if highly intoxicated and looking for a cheap laugh. Don't waste your time. The special effects? are AWFUL.

Wacky, if obvious, Hong Kong made update of the classic King Kong story. The title character is an enormous ape, discovered by an expedition into the Himalayas. Naturally, Mighty Peking Man is soon brought back to civilization where he goes on the expected rampage. Evelyne Kraft plays Samantha, an incredibly sexy blonde jungle woman who's fond of the big guy.

While the tone is sometimes more serious than expected, this is still quite the agreeable diversion, with enough things in it to make its audience laugh. It even gets reasonably energetic and exciting, with MPM doing an amount of damage to HK that easily rivals anything Godzilla ever did to Tokyo. A production of those reliable folk at Shaw Brothers, this is very nicely shot in widescreen, and its special effects are quite amusing and entertaining overall (with much use of miniatures). The music, credited to Yung-Yu Chen and "DeWolfe", is suitably rousing.

The acting is of the "not so hot, but admirably sincere" variety. Kraft is extremely appealing, both as a performer and a scenery attraction. Danny Lee is likewise ingratiating as Johnnie Fang, the adventurer hired to lead the expedition. We have an appropriately disgusting human villain, as well as an enjoyable title antagonist. Sometimes MPM has some pretty priceless expressions on his face.

Director Meng Hua Ho gets right down to business, with MPM terrorizing village residents in an uproarious opening action set piece, and delivers brainless thrills for a well paced 91 minutes.

Seven out of 10.

This movie is an obvious rip off of king kong, I dont think its trying to hide that, is it at least a good rip off? I dont think so. Every character in this I dont care about at all, if you took out the dialog in the first 40 minutes of the film you could still probably follow what was going on, that's how little the characters matter. One of the only female characters in this is literally just there to be looked at, she doesn't really add anything and her outfit is ridiculous, and when she is given regular clothes she still refuses to wear them. For some reason she has like super powers, she can control the animals and I have no idea why this is a thing. The star of this is the peking man of course but sadly he doesn't really do anything interesting until the last 30 minutes of the film, for the rest of the film whenever he is around he just carries the main characters around, and at the beginning he destroys a village for some reason, but the end is why you would watch this, spoilers if you care, but the military absolutely destroys the peking man in a gory fashion, it actually made me feel bad for him and is the only moment in the film I cared about what was going on. This movie isn't good but it's not the worst, there is enough ridiculousness throughout to hold you until the end, like when the main woman swings a jaguar over her shoulders and starts spinning in circles, there is a whole montage of the man and woman characters falling in love with this really stupid song in the background that made me laugh. Not a movie to be taken seriously. Edit: this film is a rip off of king kong yet it doesn't have that sense of adventure like king kong does, when i watch kong it takes me to this mythical world on this forgotten island, in this film we just go to somewhere in Indian with some lame uninteresting characters. No sense of the unknown, and I dont know anything about the pekeing man or his lore which was what I was most disappointed in

This is quite the movie. It's a total rip off of KING KONG only it's done Asian style like the old GODZILLA movies so you know it's gonna be super cheesy. Basically some dudes set out to capture this giant ape man and must take a dangerous mission through the jungle. They encounter lots of deadly wild animals along the way and a bunch of em get killed. There's actually a couple relatively good deaths. Eventually the main dude is on his own and finds a hot retarded chick who is good homies with the mighty Xing Xing Wang. Anyway despite monkey man helping homeboy out and the dude getting to hook up with the hot wild woman he and his "partners" end up doing what they set up to do and capture the monkey. Of course this pisses off Xing Xing Wang and tons of destruction follows. I don't usually bother with most PG rated movies but this one's pretty damn funny and it's got plenty of cheesy action. It's too bad we don't get to see the main chick naked. At least she's dressed pretty skimpy. So if you like GODZILLA style monster movies or have kids it's worth a look you'll definitely get some laughs out of it.

Not truly bad enough to be "so bad its good". Its just a tacky 70s Indonesian "King Kong" rip off. I know that actually sounds like a must see for all bad film buffs, but take it from me its just a tedious silly bore. I can't believe Tarantino took the trouble to restore it.

Word of a monster ape ten stories tall living in the Himalayas reaches fortune hunters in Hong Kong. They travel to India to capture it, but wild animals and quicksand dissuade all but Johnny, an adventurer with a broken heart.

Unbelievably, Roger Ebert gave this one a positive review, writing, "Mighty Peking Man is very funny, although a shade off the high mark of Infra-Man, which was made a year earlier, and is my favorite Hong Kong monster film." And to think Ebert never would have seen it if Quentin Tarantino had not picked it up for distribution twenty years after it came out.

Can you beat these amazing punches and that amazing costume? No, you cannot.

Honest speaking, this movie is really bad, however some awful movies are somehow very attractive and possess some kind of mysterious charms, and this Mighty Peking Man is one of those movies. This is a Hong Kong version of King Kong, who is able to change his size according to each scene, which is miracle! I laughed a lot from the beginning to the end. Samantha is gorgeous and love scene of Johnny and Samantha is very memorable with awesome music, "Could it be I'm in love? Maybe~" I wonder if the director was serious about this movie or he actually intended to make funniest comedy of the decade. Anyway, I really love this movie and if you are reading this and you haven't watch Mighty Peking Man, run to the nearest video shop and grab it. If you can't find it there, try the furthur video shop! It's worth it. Finally I would like to thank Quentin Tarantino for brings back this movie to life.

Please do not be confused by any futile attempts by the "Shaw Brothers" to film a serious King Kong-Sheena hybrid. "Mighty Peking Man" is a mind bending movie experience, that must be seen to be believed. The most fun can be had if you simply concentrate on the utter magnificence of the movie's ineptitude. Some highlights would be finding your girl in bed with your brother, and immediately running off to the jungle on a wild ape hunt. Rocks that change size as they are thrown. Avoiding an elephant stampede by jumping into quicksand. Not shooting a tiger who is tearing off a guy's leg, but then executing the man after the attack. Finding plenty of eye shadow and makeup while living in the jungle, even though this jungle beauty can only grunt. Having a sexy blonde clad in animal skins immediately get a ride from total strangers in downtown Hong Kong "Take me to Peking Man". People thrown off of a 40 story building by a gorilla, winding up on the pavement below, looking no worse than if they had fallen out of bed. It just goes on and on. - MERK

THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN is a sort of homage to / parody of KING KONG. Danny Lee plays the hero, Johnnie Fang, while the astonishingly beautiful Evelyne Kraft plays Samantha (aka: the jungle woman). Together, they bring the giant ape-man of the title back to civilization.

Of course, the big lug is exploited, tormented, and ultimately goes berserk.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: #1- Johnnie saving Samantha from a snakebite by sucking on her inner thigh! #2- Samantha's leopard-twirling sequence! #3- Samantha's perfect hair and makeup, looking terrific, even in the jungle heat! #4- Samantha's bikini outfit, made of what appears to be car seat upholstery! #5- Samantha running through Hong Kong in said outfit! #6- Any scene featuring the humongous go-rilla man!

Oh yes, this is entertainment...

As you know, I love monster movies. When I first heard and read about MIGHTY PEKING MAN I wanted to see it. After I watched it, I would say that it is a Frankenstein's Monster made up of the 1976 KING KONG remake, TARZAN (since there is a female jungle there), the original MIGHTY JOE YOUNG, EARTHQUAKE (the way the title appears on the land) and TOWERING INFERNO (the climax). The special effects are not bad, but the music consists entirely on stock music. For instance, the disco song that played at the TV station is an instrumental song by Franck McDonald & Chris Rae called "The Jam". The ending where the title fought helicopters on top of the building has Dmitri Shostakovich's "Symphony No. 5 in D Minor" playing. All in all, this is a pretty good movie. This is arguably one of the better KING KONG rip-offs. If you like kaiju films, cheesy movies and bizarre cinema, then give it a watch. You will like it. Rated PG-13 for violence, nudity, gore and some profanity.
