Award-winning Asian FilmThis film has won 1 award. See details.


Shaw Brothers Studio brings the charm and magic of the Monkey King to life in The Monkey Goes West, the first in a series of features adapting Wu Cheng En's beloved novel Journey to the West. Ho Fan (who later became a famous erotic film director) is the legendary Tang Dynasty priest Xuanzhang, who must form a group of disciples to help carry Buddhist scriptures to the West. First up is Sun Wukong (Shaw Brothers regular Ngok Wah), the legendary Monkey King cast down from the Heavens to await the Monk's mission. Xuanzhang is charged with reigning in the Monkey King's passion and penchant for mischief, while looking for a few other disciples, including the portly Piggy (Peng Peng) and a disgraced Dragon Prince. Battles and bickering impede the heroes in their quest, whose journey only begins here! Director Ho Meng Hua brings his talent for fantasy filmmaking to The Monkey Goes West, and the gorgeous sets and costumes (a Shaw Brothers trademark) successfully bring Wu Cheng En's world to vibrant celluloid life. The journey continues in Princess Iron Fan, Cave of the Silken Web, and The Land of Many Perfumes.

Fantasy at it's very BEST!Customer Review Rated 9 out of 10Saturday, February 24, 2007
Reviewer: David  (See all this customer reviews)

- This customer review refers to The Monkey Goes West

If you like serious, thought provoking martial arts films.......well, look somewhere else. This is a movie you can't take too seriously. Not to say it's bad, in fact it happens to be one of my all time favorite HK films of all time. I have read "Journey to the West" and this film does it justice, AND SOME
! The SPFX in this film are amazing for 1964, and the colors of the remastered version are vibrant and richly detailed. The way Yueh Hua portrays "Monkey" is perfect and enjoyably silly. I love the fact that everyone has there own niche in the film, the scope and epic nature of the movie is breathtaking like no other of this time. JUST HAVE FUN WHEN YOU WATCH IT!

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS SERIES CHECK OUT THE OTHER SEQUALS, "Princess Iron Fan", "Cave of Silken Web", AND THE FINAL INSTALLMENT "Land of Many Perfumes"!

Monkye Goes West, UNFORGETABLECustomer Review Rated Excellent - 10 out of 10Saturday, March 13, 2004
Reviewer: Joe Roberts  

I first saw this movie in Honolulu, Hawaii in the early 70's. I always had fond memories of it! My love thoughts for Piggy, Monkey, and Monk Tang have lasted for more than 30 years! Several years ago I saw a clip of Piggy(from Monkey Goes West) in a Halmark movie called "Kwan Yin." Since then I've searched the video market to buy a copy. No one I contacted new of it. Now it was a wonderful suprise to find it available. My VCD copy has great color and clarity. It is so wonderful to have such an old movie and not have it scrathced up nor with dull colors. Monkey Goes West is a wonderful story and great viewing for the entire family. Love, Joe Robert-Whitewater, Calif. USA

Monkey MagicCustomer Review Rated Excellent - 10 out of 10Thursday, December 18, 2003
Reviewer: derekjay@yahoo.com  

This movie kicked ass. If you like me and you never read the book, this movie is for you. It's fairly fast paced, and full of action. This first movie basically introduces you to the characters. The 2nd 3rd and 4th are a do not miss. Get them all here at yesasia.
