See this movie!!
This movie is definitly worth watching. Its campy and low budget, but has a decent cast of actors. Get past the first 5 minutes and you're good to go. This movie is also called Ape Girl and was probably made no later than 1980. It also stars Lo Lieh and Chin Sing!! Ground Zero has a double feature dvd out for $9.99 (also has Eagle Fist, so this is really worth picking up). Here's a rare on-line review I found and I agree with every word: The Ape Girl: aka Lady Iron Monkey One of Chen Chi Hwa's early films. Very little is known about this film. I originally came across it under the domestic title "Lady Iron Monkey," being sold in the "Brooklyn Zoo" kung fu collection. Most people who would see this film would immediately dismiss it as weird and cheesy, but I love it like none other. Kam Fung plays the Ape Girl, Ming Ling Shur, a half monkey/half human girl raised in the wild by apes, until she is discovered by an old kung fu master and his moronic students. They raise her and teach her Monkey Kung fu, and when she comes of age she falls for the local prince, and the film takes off from there on a trail of comedy, drama, action, and betrayal. Kam Fung does an excellent job playing a half ape (and stands out in her unique costume, which includes a monkey tail), while we see and early appearance of Chen Sing as the prince, and Lo Lieh as an assassin. Truly unique, and underrated, this film is a classic in my book. I'd give it 7 out of 10 stars. Oh my god is Kam Fung a cuttie! Matt
