A gigantic animal, the Mighty Peking Man, emerges in the Himalayas in the wake of a violent earthquake, and makes its way to the jungles of India. An entrepreneur from Hong Kong, Lu Tien, intends to lead an expedition to India to capture the Mighty Peking Man and put it on exhibition throughout the world. A young Hong Kong explorer, Chen Cheng-feng (Danny Lee) is also interested in going to India to find the Mighty Peking Man, and Lu Tien invites him to join his exploration party. The agreement between Chen and Lu Tien is that Lu Tien will bear the costs of the expedition and if the Mighty Peking Man is captured alive, he will be put on show worldwide. However, Chen rejects the offer, insisting that the animal should be used for scientific research only.Chen Cheng-feng’s singer girlfriend, Huang Tsui-hua (Hsiao Yao) turns her attentions to his brother, Chen Shi-yu, and in his heartache and desperation, he accepts Lu Tien’s offer and joins the expedition to India. They eventually reach the dense jungles of India, and with the assistance of local guides, the explorers traverse the wild, impenetrable forests, high cliffs and dangerous marshes, encountering on their way fierce elephants, tigers and snakes, which kill many of the party; after a while, the surviving members of the exploration party turn back, leaving Chen on his own. Undaunted, Chen presses on and finally comes face to face with the Mighty Peking Man, who makes a move to attack him. Fortunately a pretty girl, Ah Wei (Evelyne Kraft) restrains it and orders it to carry the unconscious Chen to her cave. In due course, Chen becomes their trusted friend, and Ah Wei begins to fall in love with him. Chen plans to take Ah Wei and the Mighty Peking Man back to civilization, and when Lu Tien learns of it, he forces Chen to hand the creature over to him, under the terms of their agreement.Upon their arrival in Hong Kong, Lu Tien makes arrangements to show the Mighty Peking Man to the public in the Hong Kong Stadium. Meanwhile Ah Wei, upon finding Chen in an embrace with Huang Tsui-hua, runs away. Huge crowds go to watch the antics of the Mighty Peking Man, and Ah Wei sees on television the pitiful plight of the creature. She rushes, weeping, to the scene. Lu Tien, pretending to comfort her, then tries to rape her. The Mighty Peking Man sees this, and breaks the chains binding it, then rushes to her defense. Lu Tien manages to escape before it can catch him, and the Mighty Peking Man chases him through the streets of Hong Kong, trampling underfoot buildings, flyovers and other structures, before catching up with Lu Tien and killing him. Meanwhile, the army and police have begun an assault on the Might Peking Man to halt his rampage. The enraged Mighty Peking Man climbs to the top of Connaught Centre, the city’s highest building, and the army and police mount an all-out attack upon the creature, but the attack fails. Chen and Ah Wei also go up to the top of the Connaught Centre to try to help the Mighty Peking Man. Upon seeing them, the Mighty Peking Man calms down. But the army and police take advantage of this, and concentrate their fire upon the creature, which eventually blows up the plant room of the building and in the process killing the distressed Might Peking Man.1977 | |

The Mighty Peking Man
A gigantic animal, the Mighty Peking Man, emerges in the Himalayas in the wake of a violent earthquake, and makes its way to the jungles of India. An entrepreneur from Hong Kong, Lu Tien, intends to lead an expedition to India to capture the Mighty Peking Man and put it on exhibition throughout the world. A young Hong Kong explorer, Chen Cheng-feng (Danny Lee) is also interested in going to India to find the Mighty Peking Man, and Lu Tien invites him to join his exploration party. The agreement between Chen and Lu Tien is that Lu Tien will bear the costs of the expedition and if the Mighty Peking Man is captured alive, he will be put on show worldwide. However, Chen rejects the offer, insisting that the animal should be used for scientific research only.Chen Cheng-feng’s singer girlfriend, Huang Tsui-hua (Hsiao Yao) turns her attentions to his brother, Chen Shi-yu, and in his heartache and desperation, he accepts Lu Tien’s offer and joins the expedition to India. They eventually reach the dense jungles of India, and with the assistance of local guides, the explorers traverse the wild, impenetrable forests, high cliffs and dangerous marshes, encountering on their way fierce elephants, tigers and snakes, which kill many of the party; after a while, the surviving members of the exploration party turn back, leaving Chen on his own. Undaunted, Chen presses on and finally comes face to face with the Mighty Peking Man, who makes a move to attack him. Fortunately a pretty girl, Ah Wei (Evelyne Kraft) restrains it and orders it to carry the unconscious Chen to her cave. In due course, Chen becomes their trusted friend, and Ah Wei begins to fall in love with him. Chen plans to take Ah Wei and the Mighty Peking Man back to civilization, and when Lu Tien learns of it, he forces Chen to hand the creature over to him, under the terms of their agreement.Upon their arrival in Hong Kong, Lu Tien makes arrangements to show the Mighty Peking Man to the public in the Hong Kong Stadium. Meanwhile Ah Wei, upon finding Chen in an embrace with Huang Tsui-hua, runs away. Huge crowds go to watch the antics of the Mighty Peking Man, and Ah Wei sees on television the pitiful plight of the creature. She rushes, weeping, to the scene. Lu Tien, pretending to comfort her, then tries to rape her. The Mighty Peking Man sees this, and breaks the chains binding it, then rushes to her defense. Lu Tien manages to escape before it can catch him, and the Mighty Peking Man chases him through the streets of Hong Kong, trampling underfoot buildings, flyovers and other structures, before catching up with Lu Tien and killing him. Meanwhile, the army and police have begun an assault on the Might Peking Man to halt his rampage. The enraged Mighty Peking Man climbs to the top of Connaught Centre, the city’s highest building, and the army and police mount an all-out attack upon the creature, but the attack fails. Chen and Ah Wei also go up to the top of the Connaught Centre to try to help the Mighty Peking Man. Upon seeing them, the Mighty Peking Man calms down. But the army and police take advantage of this, and concentrate their fire upon the creature, which eventually blows up the plant room of the building and in the process killing the distressed Might Peking Man.Date | 1977 |
