Mighty Peking Man (1977)
Hong Kong legends The Shaw Brothers remake King Kong. If you need a synopsis you are on the wrong forum.
Suffice to say this is a camp and hugely entertaining effort starring the lovely Evelyne Kraft, who barely stays inside her animal skin bikini, as the center of the Peking Man's attention. Meanwhile said ape is largely quiet until the second half when his full man in a gorilla suit antics wreak havoc in Hong Kong.
Way better than the insipid official King Kong remake from the previous year which this film was made to cash in on.
The 88 Films Blu-ray looks lovely. Pity there are no extras though.
