I heard about this movie and found it in a recycle bin at the video store and bought it. I popped it in the VCR and watched in amazement as the movie unfolded. All I can say is WOW! This movie actually sucked so bad I had to turn away a couple of times, because the acting was so corny and ludicrous! Words cannot describe the lack of real plot (if there was suppose to be one) and the disjointed script. People who saw this tripe know what I am talking about. However if you like bad movies then watch this one and suffer like the rest of us. Obviously one of the worst movies ever made, but have fun anyway. 1 out of 10, and don't just go by my rating watch this movie!

The Peking Man lives in India and is an ape, not a man. Johnnie Fang (Danny Lee) is sent after the creature and he encounters the proverbial jungle woman (Evelyn Craft) whose parents were killed in a plane crash. (Plane and skeletons are nearby.) She was raised by Peking Man and has become the "Ellie Mae" of the jungle. I loved the contrast of the stage set with the background scenery. Clearly this was done as a tribute to those old Tarzan films were they would weave stock footage into the film. There is also an Ed Wood influence. Evelyn Craft runs around as if she is on frame or move from popping out of her top. Very high camp value. Great with the funny stuff. There is one quick * scene, however in this version the extended nudity has been cut out. Nudity in trailers.

Mighty Peking Man was done in the seventies after the last Godzilla film of the original Godzilla series (Terror of Mechagodzilla, 1975) and this totally takes up the slack. It's even at least as entertaining as the last Godzilla films easy. It's a rip-off of King Kong and Godzilla but never tries to be anything more than it is, and that's what makes it honest and fun. The miniatures is this film are fantastic, especially near the end where the giant is walking around the city and elevated roadways. The action even starts early, no waiting an hour for the monster's first appearance. This is one of my personal fave giant monster films, definitely gonna buy it on DVD! This even had a recent successful midnight run here in New York City. Don't miss it!

This ripoff of "King Kong" has got to be one of the funniest movies that I've ever seen, just because of how it never takes itself seriously. When a Hong Kong magnate sets out on an expedition to find a prehistoric ape in India, he and the others find not only the ape but also a scantily clad woman (Evelyne Kraft) who's known the big guy ever since her plane crashed in the jungle many years earlier. This of course means that "Xing xing wang" - called "The Mighty Peking Man" in English - is really an excuse to show off the woman's body. And what a body! I bet that many a teenage boy went to see this movie just to ogle the hot babe and get as horny as possible. Anyway, this is a total exploitation flick, so it makes sense that Quentin Tarantino brought it to DVD. Any image that you have of corny '70s cinema can be found here. A real treat in every way. You're sure to like it. Especially the blonde gal in the skimpy bikini, natch.

"The Mighty Peking Man" its a very enjoyable and entertaining "King Kong" rip-off, its exactly what you would expect out of an exploitative version of "King Kong", and its probably one of the best "King Kong" rip-offs out there, its a really fun monster flick. The special effects may look cheesy at times, but they are really good for this kind of movie. The characters are decent and they are likable, the villain is a total sleazeball, which is always great. I never felt bored while watching this film, its very entertaining. The editing may be a little too awkward at times, but its nothing too distracting. I watched this movie with the Spanish dub, so I don't know if the English dub is any good, but the Spanish version its OK. I would recommend it to those who are looking for a fun and cheesy monster movie, it has gore and nudity, and its well-made (for this kind of film).

Mighty Peking man(aka:Goliathon)is a clever film from hong Kong and India about a search for the missing link,called the mighty Peking man, which looks like a 60 ft tall yeti.an adventurer;johnny(Danny lee)finds it along with a sexy blonde bikinied jungle woman(evelyne kraft)who was raised by the giant Peking man.this movie is a personal favorite of Quentin Tarantino and i kind of enjoy it,even if it does have some flaws.its a beauty and beast tale.in the USA it was released as goliathon in 1979.i remember seeing the trailers at the plaza theater in Paterson new jersey.where i saw endless Godzilla,kung fu and b movies.evelyne kraft was stunning,sexy and wild.a must see.5 out of 10.
