Customer Rating:
Summary: Good movie to see from the past.
Comment: I saw that film when I was a kid in the theater at chinatown. The theater's name was Sun Sing. The story journey to the west is not understood to me at that time. As I got older, I got the message. Wish the movie was in cantonese though. There are lots of version of the journey to the west.

Summary: Return of Monkey King
Comment: If you're expecting a high-flying martial arts adventure here,
you're liable to be disappointed. Not that this is a bad film,
it's just really intended for very young children. (It's even
a musical!) Most Asian cinema (and literature) fans know the
the Chinese mythic fable of Monkey-King and his companions as
they travel to the West seeking adventure and enlightenment.
This particular film is, I believe, the second or third film
in the Shaw Bros. series. Why they chose to release this one
on DVD and not the others is probably because of the market-
ability of the dishy dolls playing the Seven Spiders, who lay
out elaborate traps for our travelling heroes in hopes of
acquiring immortality by consuming their flesh. As grisly as
that sounds, nothing really happens that would disturb the
young viewers for whom this film is obviously intended. It is
however quite colorful, with elaborate costumes and settings
and an overall theatrical style that is blantantly rooted in
traditional Peking opera. (lots of banging drums and tumbling
gymnastics, along with the musical numbers.) It's a genuine
curio for lovers of this sort of thing.
