King Kong goes Hong Kong in this unique Shaw spin on the ageless theme of beauty and the beast. The beast, seven stories high and hailing from the Himalayas, loves Swiss beauty Evelyne Kraft, a sexy blonde Tarzanette who is also the object of lust from a sleazy show-biz promoter. Will the handsome young explorer save her from what was then Hong Kong's highest building? The action, Indian locations, and inter-racial romance made Variety reach this verdict: "High camp, Chinese style."

What makes Mighty Peking Man such a trashy delight? It's not just the absurdly obvious special effects and atrocious dubbing--those are the easy laughs--it's the over-the-top romantic and dramatic moments that really push this movie into camp heaven. When a gigantic ape-man destroys a village in a remote jungle, a fiendish promoter decides to capture this prehistoric creature and put him on display. He hires Johnny (Danny Lee, who resembles current Canto-pop superstar Andy Lau), a heartbroken adventurer, to hunt Peking Man down. Hardly five minutes go by without some life-threatening danger; in just the first half-hour there's an earthquake, a tiger attack, and a fatal mountain-climbing accident, and that's in addition to the rampaging man-ape and bottle-blond jungle queen Samantha (the lovely Evelyne Kraft), who occasionally falls out of her already skimpy jungle attire. It seems that Samantha survived a plane crash that killed her parents and was kept alive by Peking Man--though where she finds her mascara is never explained. After falling in love with Johnny, she helps him bring Peking Man back to civilization. By the time Peking Man is unleashing devastation on downtown Hong Kong, the movie has reached a giddy delirium that defies all logic. Part soap opera, part monster madness, Mighty Peking Man is completely entertaining.

Con esta película aprendí que mono y estrella suenan parecido en chino (apenas se diferencian en el tono, pero suenan igual)
Cuando vi el cartel en su momento me agarró un ataque de risa.
En fin, la vi. Y sí, podría hablarse de una remake de King Kong, es evidentemente.
Creo que lo mejor, es observar cómo trabajaron los efectos especiales.
Algunos se podrán reír por lo evidente de los montajes, pero yo lo veo como una pieza de artesanía pura.
Es decir, sí, me doy cuenta que los cañones son de juguete,. que lo que está atrás es una imagen proyectada y esas cosas. Pero eso no impide que a la distancia al menos, no sé cómo habrá sido en su momento, le de una pátina artesanal que la aleja totalmente del hiperrealismo del cgi de ahora. Y eso le suma.
Lo otro bueno, es que dura poco. Casi una hora y media.
