I am awarding Mighty Peking Man three stars, for general goofiness and a certain level of insane genius.

Before the big third act smash-o-rama, the audience is treated to some of the most unintentionally hilarious footage ever committed to film.

Audience Reviews for Xing xing wang (The Mighty Peking Man) (Colossus of Congo) (Goliathon)

A fitfully amusing, very bad King Kong ripoff from Hong Kong with the purtiest jungle girl ever to don a leather bikini. Sorry Raquel Welch & Jennifer O'Dell, you've both been bumped. Check out the ridiculous original poster, you'd think she was the giant threat running amok in downtown Hong Kong! While carrying a vampire-eyed leopard, no less. Ahh, without shlock cinema how would we determine when something was actually good?
