Sexy Blonde and Giant Apeman

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.

Silly but kind of serviceable

It's very fast-paced and very silly, which makes for a somewhat entertaining monster movie that's never quite as engaging or as charming as many of the old Godzilla movies it's clearly inspired by. I'd say it's not even as good as the 1976 version of King Kong (starring Jeff Bridges) that it was probably trying to capitalise off of.

Still, the schlocky set pieces are somewhat fun, and at 90 minutes with lots of action/special effects, you can't call it dull. And as the King Kong movies have shown, it's easier to have a monkey monster as a victim than a lizard monster as a victim (for the most part), and there are parts that do sort of make you feel bad for this big, slightly crazed looking giant monkey.

Probably a watch if you're starved for kaiju/monster movies.
