Title: The Mighty Peking ManKiller Monkey: Utam
What the heck?: A team of explorers, led by the recently heartbroken Johnny, brave the perils of the Indian jungle in search of a legendary ape man. Most of the party abandons the mission after it is attacked by a tiger and trampled by elephants, leaving Johnny alone with his heartbroken thoughts. It isn't long before Johnny comes face-to-face with the titular mighty man and his companion Samantha, a blonde-haired beauty who roams the jungle in a skimpy animal skin bikini. Samantha introduces Johnny to her buddies--a leopard, the tiger who just ten minutes earlier tore a poor, Indian jungle guides leg off, and a baby elephant--and within hours, Johnny gets a lot less heartbroken. Utam, the giant ape man under Samantha's control, falls into a deep (see also "comical") depression after accidentally seeing Johnny and Samantha "doing it," but he gets over it pretty quickly and decides Johnny is a good enough dude. Johnny convinces Sam and her giant ape pal to accompany him to Hong Kong and become superstars. Samantha readily agrees, and the next thing you know Utam is shackled on a boat to Hong Kong. Things don't go so well there, as you can probably imagine. Utam, again catching his beloved Jungle Girl in a compromising position--this time a rape in progress--loses his shit and flattens the city of Hong Kong. The final moments are basically King Kong with the Jardine House stands in for the Empire State Building.
What's to like: gleefully silly throughout; Evelyn Kraft's animal skin bikini threatens nipple slippage every time she is onscreen; Evelyn Kraft is onscreen A LOT; this musical montage:
What's to not like: Utam couldn't look worse.
The truth: Who knew a killer monkey smackdown could be so great? I didn't. I'm gonna have a hard time choosing a winner this time, dudes. Stay tuned.Next time: We choose a killer monkey and set it loose in a major metropolitan area!!!
