Monkey Comes Again

About This Movie

So, 'Monkey Comes Again' is this curious sequel that continues the antics from 'The Monkey In Hong Kong,' which is quite the trip if you're into that mix of action, adventure, and comedy. It's got this wild energy, a chaotic vibe that's fun but also a bit all over the place, which somehow adds to its charm. The practical effects are pretty basic, but they have that gritty, low-budget appeal that gives it a unique flavor. Performances are hit or miss, but there's a certain enthusiasm that shines through. It’s definitely a product of its time, capturing that late '60s, early '70s feel, with a pacing that alternates between frenetic and relaxed, keeping you guessing what'll happen next.

As a collector, you'll find that 'Monkey Comes Again' has a bit of a niche following, but it’s not the easiest film to track down. The original release had limited screenings, and it didn't see much in terms of home media revival, so copies can be scarce. The interest in this film, while not overwhelming, is certainly there among those who appreciate the quirks of vintage cinema and the evolution of sequels in that era.
