Best known for revolutionising the martial arts genre, the legendary Shaw Brothers studio in the late 70s branched out into exploitation cinema, resulting in some truly bizarre and unhinged films, none more so than Mighty Peking Man. Produced to cash in on the Hollywood remake of King Kong, Ho Meng-hua’s film is wilder, wackier and more over the top at every turn, a kaiju cult classic with jaw-dropping man-in-suit effects from the Japanese team behind the acclaimed Gamera series.
