 Rated 5 out of 5!
So atrocious its an instant classic
Mighty Peking Man is literally a Hong Kong rip off of Dino DeLaurentis’’ own 76’’ remake of King Kong, making it a rip off of a rip off! It actually steals entire scenes from the movie! But who cares! The Sheena-like jungle girl is Playboy material HOT! And she is in danger the entire movie of losing her skimpy top! The Peking Man costume is bad, but certainly no worse than the multimillion dollar 40 foot tall Kong used in the 76’’ remake for all of 4 seconds, and the Peking man costume was made at a fraction of the cost. The fake helicopters and tanks, buildings, ect are no worse than anything in a Toho Godzilla flick. And the movie has a cheesy/sleazy 70’’s groove to it if you can dig, man. Worth the price of the DVD is the scene where "Sheena" and Johnny are falling in love in slow motion to a horrible "Mellow Gold" love song. If you though "Plan 9 from Outer Space" was the worst film ever, or the best of the "So bad they’’re great" watch the Peking Man with a bunch of intoxicated friends, and you will not be disappointed! Rated 1 out of 5
Kill The Peking Man By Any Means You Can
This movie really sucks. On the whole, I found it to be a waste of time. I guess it’’s not as bad as a Pauly Shore movie, but it’’s close. It’’s basically a really, really bad re-telling of the King Kong story. The blonde seemed to be based on the character Rima from the novel "Green Mansions". My favorite part of this stinker was watching for her to fall out of her animal skin bra. It is good for a few laughs, though, so keep this one in the closet unless you are doing some good drugs. Even then, you may want to stay clear of this piece.- Rated 1 out of 5
Poor Peking Man
I think this must be the all time worst film I had the mispleasure to watch. Quentin Tarrantino’’s movies, I realize, have quaint campy thoughts behind them, but! The Mighty Peking Man is just plain bad: lousy timing on speaking, poor quality cinematrography, "C" grade actors/actresses, and the list goes on. If you like this type movie, then The Mighty Peking Man fits the bill. It fits right in to late, late, late night movies on the TV. However, if you like quality, don’’t watch it. I turned it off several times, and turned it back on. I tried alcohol, but it didn’’t help. Only by hitting the stop button did it get better. Maybe in several years, Quentin will make another movie in the class of Pulp Fiction, but this one doesn’’t come close.
