THE ADVENTURES OF SUN WU KUNG

19591h 38m10.0 TMDb

Directed by Kajirō Yamamoto

Spoiler-Free

The mythical adventures of the legendary Chinese trickster Monkey, who must outwit a variety of wily demons who stand in the way of him and his fellow Buddhist travelers. Though portrayed as a literal, if rather anthropomorphized, monkey in the original legends, this film substitutes the spindly comic actor Norihei Miki, sans makeup.
