Plot Summary

Word of a monster ape 10 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. He finds the monster and discovers it is been raising a scantily-clad woman, Samantha, since she survived a plane crash years before that killed her parents. In the idyllic jungle, Johnny and Samantha fall in love. Then Johnny asks her to convince "Utam" to go to Hong Kong. Lu Tien, an unscrupulous promoter, takes over: Utam is in chains for freak show exhibitions. When Lu Tien assaults Samantha, Utam's protective instincts take over: havoc in Hong Kong ensues as a result. Written by

Trivia The hair for the Peking Man suit used in the film was made from actual human hair. A total of 300 Hong Kong citizens arrived at the studio to donate. See more »
Goofs Watch the ending of the film carefully. When the helicopters are shooting Utam the Peking Man to pieces, the impact of the rounds on his body, considering how big he is, should be tiny. But they are huge, as if the weapons being used are his size. Also, when Samantha and Johnny are wounded by the same helicopters, the rounds should have torn their limbs off entirely, not just scratched them. See more »
