Oh it's kooky!

[InzyWimzy · 6/10 · 18 December 2003]

Man, these B gems are fun to watch. Shaw Bros Studios definitely pay homage to the King....Kong that is. Beware the Mighty Gorilla suit!

This movie teaches you so much! When heartbroken, sign up for a dangerous, life threatening expedition which probably means getting only a one way plane ticket. Danny Lee is good as the hero and for donning those crazy big lapels. Other times, he looks like he had a fun time with Evelyne Kraft since he's always got his hands all over her! There's also a weird triangle going on...don't mess with a gorilla's woman. The big guy likes to watch. Kraft as Ah Wei is pure eye candy and she works well with Lee (I had to laugh at the sappy love chase scenes in the deep jungle...of INDIA??? I thought we were in Peking!). Also, Shaws pulled out all the budget stops with model villages and miniscule downtown Hong Kong. It just gets the film more points in the shlock category. Laughter ensues during the stampede guns firing at the rear projection screen. One villager really gets a "leg" up during the goofy tiger scene. 15 minutes into this one and you get a feeling who the sleazeball is going to be. Was it just me or was there a lot of sexual innuendo with Ms Tarzan and the tree/light pole straddling?

There's also reckless carnage, a crazy hellbent army commander, millions of dollars in property damage...well, maybe $100 worth of model kits. Watch for that big hairy hand and the kooky Tonka dump trucks. You know, despite the fact that there's a 6 story massive gorilla in the city, the people of Hong Kong took it very well.

Great kampy fun here, Shaw style!

Wow!!!

[CMUltra · 4/10 · 12 May 2006]

This is not just any King Kong rip-off... this is a King Kong rip-off from the legendary Shaw Bros! Filmed in Shaw Scope! Shady Chinese guys try to find a giant ape in India. The "exploration" is wonderfully ridiculous. Then, just when you and your friends think you can't possibly laugh any more, amidst all the Chinese actors appears a beautiful blonde westerner! Raised in the jungle, she swings through the trees like Tarzan with a crazy scream. Her top is glued on... barely.

Lots of bad, generic 70's music accompany all of this.

When she shimmies up a tree, legs akimbo, the hapless Chinese explorer guy gets quite an eyeful.

She can control all the jungle animals. The tigers, cheetahs and elephants all love to frolic with her. Except the snakes. One nasty snake bites her high on the inner thigh. Pretty close to the danger zone. What's the hapless Chinese explorer to do while she writhes in pain? Why stick his face down between her legs and suck the poison out, of course! The miniature sets are fantastically cheap. Not one of them would have qualified for a Godzilla movie. They don't help matters by offering lots of close-ups of the miniature trees and fake streams. You keep expecting a Lionel train to whistle by.

Samantha (the girl) doesn't command much of any language, preferring grunts. She is so grateful to the hapless Chinese explorer that they make love in her cave. Cue more 70's music.

Oh, and Samantha, raised in this harsh jungle since a child, wears a lot of make-up.

The Peking Man changes size a bit, depending on the sets. He seems to range from 20 to 100 feet tall.

If you enjoy campy trash, this is a must see! Our group has watched a lot of bad movies together but very few have given us as much joy as Mighty Peking Man.

Silly but kind of serviceable

[Jeremy_Urquhart · 6/10 · 20 October 2021]

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.

Mighty Educational Man, Too!

[Shield-3 · 3 September 2000]

I learned a lot of things from "Mighty Peking Man":

• The Himalayas are tropical

• Leopards really enjoy it if you put them on your shoulders and spin them around

• A woman raised in the jungle can function perfectly well in society while still wearing a chamois bikini and barely speaking any sort of language

• After you've captured a one-of-a-kind animal completely unknown to science, the best way to profit from him is to stage a monster truck rally

"Mighty Peking Man" is a weird mutant hybrid of "King Kong" and all those 1950s giant bug movies, where whole blocks of downtown Hong Kong (or wherever they are) are made of very fragile models and toy vehicles. There is no way on Earth you can approach a movie like this seriously, to try to use the same standards of criticism and taste that apply to normal movies. There's a certain majesty here, an aura of utter ineptitude that transcends mere bad filmmaking and becomes art.

You gotta admire the can-do spirit of everyone involved in this movie -- I just know they were convinced they were making a classic. They probably wanted to surpass "King Kong" in grandeur and drama; instead they surpassed "Plan 9 From Outer Space" in camp and sheer manic idiocy. "Mighty Peking Man" sets a new standard in bad movies -- utterly inept and laughable, and yet highly entertaining.

Sexy Blonde and Giant Apeman

[vampi1960 · 5/10 · 5 July 2006]

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.

So bad, I mean sooooo bad, it's good

[Morgan-10 · 6/10 · 29 August 2000]

This movie is terrible, I am not even moderately kidding. However, because it is so, so bad you have to see it. I laughed tonnes through the movie. Big guy in a gorilla suit, blonde jungle girl in an animal skin bikini with blue eye shadow, tonka trucks and other cheesy models, cheesy green screen scenes, blattant edits, lots of bad dialogue ('kill peking man, anyway you can') and a complete king kong rip-off.

I guarantee you'll laugh all the way through.

1/10 as a real movie 9/10 as a bad B movie

All I can say is WOW!

[warlorde · 1/10 · 24 March 2002]

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!

A fun king kong rip-off

[MonsterVision99 · 6/10 · 16 March 2017]

"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).

I don't think the creator of this film really understood the message of King Kong when they made this film.

[cauwboy · 4/10 · 27 June 2020]

I didn't really know anything about this film before I started to watch it, the poster was bonkers with a scared jaguar on a blonde jungle woman's back and an angry ape in the background terrorizing citizens of a big city. The actual film isn't as exciting as that. Some rich men going to the library to find out about a mythical ape in the Indian jungles that they want for themselves and make money from. They find an unlucky explorer, Chen Zhenfeng, to do their work for them while the main-baddie enjoy his time in India with hugging easily-dressed ladies and drinking.

Chen not only finds the ape, but also a blonde jungle woman that was raised by the ape, and somehow he convinces her to take her and the ape to Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, things goes from bad to worse with the jungle woman running away from horny men on the streets, the ape going mad and destroys buildings, cars, anything it can find - and everything it hits explodes.

I don't think the creator of this film really understood the message of King Kong when they made this film. It's very cheesy and bad, the ape is obviously a man in a costume, you can see it both on the movements and the eyes. And the jungle woman sure wasn't very strong for having grown up in the jungle, she also learned cantonese very fast when communicating with Chen.

I've read some reviews calling this film 'so-bad-it's-good' but I wouldn't go that far, I might've chuckled 3-4 times throughout the film, but it isn't enough for me to recommend it. Watch it for the third act if you really want to see some miniatures getting destroyed.

Of course it is silly

[christopher-underwood · 7/10 · 6 January 2022]

I think that I thought like to watch tonight but then looking at the poster wondered if it really be as good at all. Of course it is silly but was director, Meng-Hua Ho and had watched a few before. Black Magic (1979), The Oily Maniac (1976) and Black Magic 2 (1976) were okay and actually they are fine. This is a rather pleasant if not exciting but the first bit is particularly enjoyed in the first rather colourful scenes with animals. The King Kong lookalike is also okay and his friend the Swiss lady Evelyne Kraft rather lovely, should have really made more greater films. The oddly named Peking Man is dragged from the Himalayan and then to Hong Kong reprising, King Kong (1976) with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange, but is rather a long half hour or so of the city being a bit of a problem with the gorilla, not from Peking, tramples down the streets and cars and skyscrapers. Of course finally he reaches out for a few helicopters and then bombed down by the army.

Worst movie (best comedy?) I've ever seen

[bmattingly · 1/10 · 18 February 2001]

I watched the dubbed version of this movie. Despite the logo that pops up every ten minutes, this movie still stinks. The dubbing is hilarious, and the effects are side splitting. This is THE worst movie I have ever seen. It even has product placement for gasoline.

Oh, and yeah, it is just a rip-off of King Kong. 1/10

This is a MUST SEE!!!

[mesmeric · 10/10 · 30 January 2000]

Words cannot describe this movie, it must be experienced! Things to watch for: the explorers climb a cliff with no supplies, but somehow a huge tent filled with sleeping cots is set up in the next scene; the plane diary is in English in a Chinese movie and although the jungle girl can only grunt, she can read the handwriting in the diary with no trouble; the "costume" she wears keeps peeling off when she runs...you can even see some of the glue peeling in a couple scenes; AND, the tree-climbing scene is NOT to be missed!!!!!

Amazing

[gavin6942 · 6/10 · 3 February 2014]

Word of a monster ape ten stories tall living in the Himalayas reaches fortune hunters in Hong Kong. They travel to India to capture it, but wild animals and quicksand dissuade all but Johnny, an adventurer with a broken heart.

Unbelievably, Roger Ebert gave this one a positive review, writing, "Mighty Peking Man is very funny, although a shade off the high mark of Infra-Man, which was made a year earlier, and is my favorite Hong Kong monster film." And to think Ebert never would have seen it if Quentin Tarantino had not picked it up for distribution twenty years after it came out.

Can you beat these amazing punches and that amazing costume? No, you cannot.

Awful--Boring, forgettable & no fun

[jwpappas · 1/10 · 23 August 2000]

Not truly bad enough to be "so bad its good". Its just a tacky 70s Indonesian "King Kong" rip off. I know that actually sounds like a must see for all bad film buffs, but take it from me its just a tedious silly bore. I can't believe Tarantino took the trouble to restore it.

Fur-in-flames!

[ken-miller · 13 August 2003]

Before Danny Lee made it big in The Killer, he played Johnny Feng

in... The Mighty Peking Man!

Beginning with an earthquake & an initial attack by the ape man,

the film becomes a jungle fantasy for a while, with an elephant

stampede, death by quicksand, Samantha the blond jungle girl, a

romantic flashback, and a battle between a leopard and a cobra

(as Johnny sucks poison from Samantha's inner thigh!) When Johnny, Samantha and Utam the giant ape go to Hong Kong

the film switches to King Kong mode, with Utam becoming a

sideshow act, taking part in a tug-of-war with what look like Tonka

Toy trucks (as the locals throw fruit and prod him with sticks.) Utam finally runs amok when he sees Samantha being molested,

and the film culminates with Johnny, Samantha and the Peking

Man atop a high-rise building, getting buzzed by army helicopters.

This movie is hampered by shoddy process shots, and a sub-par

ape costume, though close-ups of Utam's face are more successful, but the film more than makes up for this with the

inclusion of Samantha (who seems constantly to be on the verge

of popping out of her animal skin costume), impressively-made,

large-scale model shots of downtown Hong Kong, and one of the

best endings of a giant ape movie.

*Spoilers* In this particular tale, the girl DOESN'T leave the shot-up primate's

side and dies, the creature's final, fur-in-flames moments are

more violent than Kong's many demises, and the movie finishes in

a downbeat fashion.

So bad it's Bad...

[poe426 · 1/10 · 12 March 2010]

Of course there are movies so bad they're fun to watch; this just ain't one of 'em- by any stretch of the imagination. Coming or going. While I did like the costume the title character sported (not that far removed from Rick Baker's duds in SCHLOCK), that's about IT as far as admiration goes. Looking over the posted comments here regarding this one, I can't help but feel that Television has wrecked havoc with the taste buds of most viewers- because MIGHTY PEKING MAN, more than anything else, reminds me of an episode of a really bad television show (take your pick, from day first to this- and they're still being cranked out with mind-numbing regularity); nothing more, nothing less. If you can honestly walk away from something like this having been in any way "entertained," consider watching paint dry.

A surprise a minute laugh-fest....

[merklekranz · 6/10 · 13 January 2009]

Please do not be confused by any futile attempts by the "Shaw Brothers" to film a serious King Kong-Sheena hybrid. "Mighty Peking Man" is a mind bending movie experience, that must be seen to be believed. The most fun can be had if you simply concentrate on the utter magnificence of the movie's ineptitude. Some highlights would be finding your girl in bed with your brother, and immediately running off to the jungle on a wild ape hunt. Rocks that change size as they are thrown. Avoiding an elephant stampede by jumping into quicksand. Not shooting a tiger who is tearing off a guy's leg, but then executing the man after the attack. Finding plenty of eye shadow and makeup while living in the jungle, even though this jungle beauty can only grunt. Having a sexy blonde clad in animal skins immediately get a ride from total strangers in downtown Hong Kong "Take me to Peking Man". People thrown off of a 40 story building by a gorilla, winding up on the pavement below, looking no worse than if they had fallen out of bed. It just goes on and on. - MERK

Chinese King Kong, Kinda Strange

[harybobjoebob · 4/10 · 18 October 2020]

This movie is an obvious rip off of king kong, I dont think its trying to hide that, is it at least a good rip off? I dont think so. Every character in this I dont care about at all, if you took out the dialog in the first 40 minutes of the film you could still probably follow what was going on, that's how little the characters matter. One of the only female characters in this is literally just there to be looked at, she doesn't really add anything and her outfit is ridiculous, and when she is given regular clothes she still refuses to wear them. For some reason she has like super powers, she can control the animals and I have no idea why this is a thing. The star of this is the peking man of course but sadly he doesn't really do anything interesting until the last 30 minutes of the film, for the rest of the film whenever he is around he just carries the main characters around, and at the beginning he destroys a village for some reason, but the end is why you would watch this, spoilers if you care, but the military absolutely destroys the peking man in a gory fashion, it actually made me feel bad for him and is the only moment in the film I cared about what was going on. This movie isn't good but it's not the worst, there is enough ridiculousness throughout to hold you until the end, like when the main woman swings a jaguar over her shoulders and starts spinning in circles, there is a whole montage of the man and woman characters falling in love with this really stupid song in the background that made me laugh. Not a movie to be taken seriously. Edit: this film is a rip off of king kong yet it doesn't have that sense of adventure like king kong does, when i watch kong it takes me to this mythical world on this forgotten island, in this film we just go to somewhere in Indian with some lame uninteresting characters. No sense of the unknown, and I dont know anything about the pekeing man or his lore which was what I was most disappointed in

China's answer to (well, rip off of ) King Kong

[jcaraway3 · 7/10 · 24 February 2010]

This movie, while definitely not credible film making by any means(or worth ten stars), is good ol' fashioned, camp entertainment. You have a giant ape, a blonde babe whose nipple pokes out for almost the entire movie, gore, death, and destruction. What's not to like? That said, this is just an adventure movie, and it delivers what it promises: Action, romance, and a giant ape. And it's hilarious to boot! While it probably tries to be serious(well,maybe not) it just comes off as silly. And, this being a big budget Chinese release, the picture looks great while the movie is totally goofy. This is one of those movies that's better to find in the dubbed, Amercanized version. It just makes it sound even sillier. Definitely worth a look for all fans of silly cult cinema. Especially silly cult cinema.

Mighty Bad - The MIghty Peking Man

[arthur_tafero · 1/10 · 21 February 2021]

This unintentional comedy is pretty bad; actually, its mighty bad. The obvious ripoff of King Kong is dreadful from beginning to end, and should only be viewed if highly intoxicated and looking for a cheap laugh. Don't waste your time. The special effects? are AWFUL.

Good fun.

[Hey_Sweden · 7/10 · 15 January 2017]

Wacky, if obvious, Hong Kong made update of the classic King Kong story. The title character is an enormous ape, discovered by an expedition into the Himalayas. Naturally, Mighty Peking Man is soon brought back to civilization where he goes on the expected rampage. Evelyne Kraft plays Samantha, an incredibly sexy blonde jungle woman who's fond of the big guy.

While the tone is sometimes more serious than expected, this is still quite the agreeable diversion, with enough things in it to make its audience laugh. It even gets reasonably energetic and exciting, with MPM doing an amount of damage to HK that easily rivals anything Godzilla ever did to Tokyo. A production of those reliable folk at Shaw Brothers, this is very nicely shot in widescreen, and its special effects are quite amusing and entertaining overall (with much use of miniatures). The music, credited to Yung-Yu Chen and "DeWolfe", is suitably rousing.

The acting is of the "not so hot, but admirably sincere" variety. Kraft is extremely appealing, both as a performer and a scenery attraction. Danny Lee is likewise ingratiating as Johnnie Fang, the adventurer hired to lead the expedition. We have an appropriately disgusting human villain, as well as an enjoyable title antagonist. Sometimes MPM has some pretty priceless expressions on his face.

Director Meng Hua Ho gets right down to business, with MPM terrorizing village residents in an uproarious opening action set piece, and delivers brainless thrills for a well paced 91 minutes.

Seven out of 10.

I love this movie!

[i am lalala · 8/10 · 29 June 2000]

Honest speaking, this movie is really bad, however some awful movies are somehow very attractive and possess some kind of mysterious charms, and this Mighty Peking Man is one of those movies. This is a Hong Kong version of King Kong, who is able to change his size according to each scene, which is miracle! I laughed a lot from the beginning to the end. Samantha is gorgeous and love scene of Johnny and Samantha is very memorable with awesome music, "Could it be I'm in love? Maybe~" I wonder if the director was serious about this movie or he actually intended to make funniest comedy of the decade. Anyway, I really love this movie and if you are reading this and you haven't watch Mighty Peking Man, run to the nearest video shop and grab it. If you can't find it there, try the furthur video shop! It's worth it. Finally I would like to thank Quentin Tarantino for brings back this movie to life.

Highly amusing film.

[ligeynuts · 6/10 · 23 August 2007]

This movie is hilarious and keeps dishing up the laughs where you least expect them.

I'm watching the subtitled version and the best line delivered so far was after a native chap had his leg nipped off by a stuffed Tiger and some bloke then yells,

"Quick! Get the first aid kit!"

The sets are nasty as are the fake animals and "specal effects" but this is a genuine so bad it's funny film. Look out for the Garth Marenghiesque slow motion frolicking scene to pad out the time of the film.

A very entertaining film that confirms my theory that everyone in China is called Wang. The giant ape of the film has been named thusly.

My only concern is the treatment of the poor animals involved.

The most unintentionally funny movie ever made!

[A.Rausch · 13 March 1999]

At one time, this was the most expensive movie in the history of Hong Kong cinema. It's campiness exceeds words. It is hard to believe that the filmmakers were actually serious when they made this hilariously horrible movie. The film is good as a comedy simply because of its being so terrible. I saw the re-release of this film at QT3 in Austin and the audience laughed their asses off.

Hong Kong King Kong, or Kraft Cheese

[ferbs54 · 6/10 · 9 June 2014]

Well, I suppose I didn't do adequate homework before venturing into Meng Hua Ho's 1977 camp classic "The Mighty Peking Man." For some reason, I had thought the titular protagonist was a man-sized survivor of the Paleolithic Age; a caveman type; a troglodyte displaced in time. But as most psychotronic-film fans have long since discovered, this is hardly the case at all, and the film in question turns out to be nothing more than a cheesy Hong Kong rip-off of 1933's "King Kong"...or, perhaps, more specifically, a cash-in "homage" to the Dino De Laurentiis travesty of the preceding year. A production of the Shaw Brothers, whose "Infra-Man" of 1975 had proved to be so memorably jaw dropping, the film is a goofy, fast-moving and wholly enjoyable experience, with better production values than you might be expecting, and lovably ersatz special FX.

The picture opens with a tremendous initial 20 minutes, which not only shows us the awakening of the P.M. amidst a Himalayan earthquake around 90 seconds in (I would've loved this as a kid; back then, I always grew impatient with films that withheld a glimpse of the monster for too long), but also the subsequent destruction of the nearby native village, the P.M. running amok, the outfitting of an H.K. expedition to track down the beast, the hiring of lovelorn hunter Johnnie Fang (played by "Infra-Man" star Danny Lee), an elephant stampede, a quicksand scene, a tiger attack and a deadly cliff ascent. Whew! The film pauses for breath when Johnnie is abandoned in the wild by his fellow adventurers, only to fall into the grips of the P.M. himself, in all his 100-foot-tall, hirsute glory. Johnnie also meets the big hairy galoot's only friend: Samantha, a beautiful blonde Tarzan type who had been living in the jungle since surviving an otherwise fatal plane crash with her parents many years before. Samantha is played here by Evelyne Kraft, a Swiss actress who I had previously encountered in the 1972 giallo "The French Sex Murders"; an actress so remarkably beautiful that she easily held her own in that film alongside such stunning Eurobabes as Barbara Bouchet, Rosalba Neri and Anita Ekberg. Despite living in paradise with Samantha, Johnnie stupidly forsakes his jungle idyll in favor of bringing the girl and the P.M. (who Samantha, for some reason, calls "Utam") back to civilization; predictably, his money-making scheme goes horribly wrong, as Utam eventually goes wild with an unusual case of P.M.S. (Peking Man Syndrome) and lays half of Hong Kong to waste, before a doubly tragic conclusion....

In a film with so many memorably campy moments, two stand out especially for this viewer. In the first, Johnnie and Samantha romp through the jungle in a slow-mo montage, while a supermellow pop song that is most likely entitled "Could It Be I'm In Love, Maybe" is heard in accompaniment. This kind of love scene can work marvelously if done right (for example, witness the use of Roberta Flack's "The Last Time Ever I Saw Your Face" in Clint Eastwood's "Play Misty For Me" montage), but here, the result is pure hilarity. And my other favorite camp moment? During Utam's H.K. rampage, one citizen declares, "There's a giant gorilla!" To which his friend replies, "My wife is a gorilla, too!" (Granted, something may have been lost in translation here; the dubbing on this fine-looking Miramax DVD IS fairly horrendous.) And in a film filled with so many half-baked performances, perhaps the most convincing bit of thesping turned in is by Samantha's pet leopard, who really does look to be almost crying as his mistress leaves their jungle home. The film, to be fair, does seem to bust a gut to guarantee a good time for the viewer, and manages to also incorporate a high-seas typhoon, an eye-popping finale (I love it when Utam, standing atop H.K.'s highest building, grabs an attacking helicopter and sends it ablaze down into the streets) and even some surprising gross-out sequences (a safari member has his leg torn off by a tiger; a yucky close-up of Samantha's snakebite wound on her otherwise yummy thigh). Genially zany throughout, its twofold bummer of an ending does come as a real surprise, and one that surely serves Johnnie right. Viewers who are expecting a "happily ever after" windup here, a la 1949's "Mighty Joe Young," may be in for an unpleasant surprise at how things unreel. Perhaps, to prepare themselves and cushion the blows, they might use "The Mighty Peking Man" as a sort of drinking game, imbibing a snort every time Samantha cries out "Utam!" Even Ann Darrow didn't have to go through the punishment that this jungle nymph does!
