  • Worst Movies Ever Made - MIGHTY PEKING MAN (1977)
    Sep 5 2024

    In this episode our SOHO CINEMA CLUB team of cinephiles Miles Flanagan and Jared Carlson sit through what may be the worst movie ever made. Or at least one of them. The epically titled, and six million dollar budgeted MIGHTY PEKING MAN. Released in 1977 to cash in on the KING KONG craze, due to the 1976 Dino De Laurentiss remake, this low budget Shaw Bros. feature film has to be seen to be believed. Or at least heard! Hong Kong filmmaking apes Hollywood with a glamorous jungle girl, monster-suited mayhem, animal cruelty and some really sloppy make-up. Thankfully our intrepid team watch the film so you don't have to. See what they have to say, find out more about the making of the film and discover whether or not this is truly cinematic garbage. And why. Enjoy!
