      I love this movie!

      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.

      "Kill The Peking Man By Any Means! That's An Order!"...

      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...

      Mighty Educational Man, Too!

      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.

      Sexy Blonde and Giant Apeman

      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.

      The most unintentionally funny movie ever made!

      At one time, this was the most expensive movie in the history of Hong Kong cinema. It's campiness exceeds words. It is hard to believe that the filmmakers were actually serious when they made this hilariously horrible movie. The film is good as a comedy simply because of its being so terrible. I saw the re-release of this film at QT3 in Austin and the audience laughed their asses off.

      • Trivia
        The hair for the Peking Man suit used in the film was made from actual human hair. A total of 300 Hong Kong citizens arrived at the studio to donate.
      • Goofs
        Watch the ending of the film carefully. When the helicopters are shooting Utam the Peking Man to pieces, the impact of the rounds on his body, considering how big he is, should be tiny. But they are huge, as if the weapons being used are his size. Also, when Samantha and Johnny are wounded by the same helicopters, the rounds should have torn their limbs off entirely, not just scratched them.
      • Alternate versions
        The original European version, which is titled "Colossus of Congo", has a different ending than the Hong Kong version.
