There it is, an on-the-spot report.

In the 60s, they spotted this monster and

a dozen eyewitnesses saw him in the Himalaya

Mountains.

That monster gentleman was really the prehistoric Peking

Man.

In a remote village, life was calm, the

people lived peacefully.

And then one day, without warning, there was

an earthquake.

The earth was ripped open.

The evidence looks conclusive, then.

Good.

Let's go.

Do you realize, if we were able to

capture this creature, we would be rich?

According to witnesses, he's 10 stories tall.

In the report, it says he crushed the

village.

How could we ever do it?

How?

Using our intelligence, this creature is only an

animal, and we can work out a plan

to outwit him.

We can try.

And even if we bring him back dead,

we might still not lose.

We could have him stuffed and executed.

Executed?

Not certainly.

Why not?

I know a hunter here in Hong Kong,

an explorer.

He just lost his girl, and he wants

to get away.

I guarantee he'd be the right man for

us if he'd go.

Hey, come on, Johnny.

Johnny, come on.

You're going to head our expedition into the

Indian jungle, Johnny.

You are the only one I trust.

How about it?

Johnny, you want to do it.

I'll do it.

Anywhere you like I'll go.

I don't care where.

I can't wait to get started.

Johnny Fang.

Wait a minute.

Come along, please.

Okay.

Johnny, Johnny, these are reporters.

How are you?

Nice to know you.

Now, this is our anthropologist.

Yeah, the whole thing is all prepared.

Once we get him cornered, then we can

use the night on deck.

Yes, sir.

We will.

It's just a matter of time.

You know where this jail is.

Keep in touch.

We'll get it all planned out.

Don't worry.

You'll get reports.

This is the story of the century.

We'll come back.

Look, what's with him?

The wheels are stuck.

Push, everybody, push!

Come on, harder!

Keep moving.

We'll make it.

Push.

Push.

Forward.

Hold on.

Forward.

There's still a long way to go.

Very difficult.

Yeah.

I can't stand it.

Oh, oh.

There's nobody around.

It's been deserted.

Anybody here?

Anyone here?

Is there anybody around?

Is there anybody around?

Let's get moving.

Get the wagons together.

We'll move on.

We only have two hours of daylight left.

Come on.

Johnny, what's wrong?

Ever since we started, you haven't said a

word.

Is it something you can't talk about?

We've been through a lot together, all three

of us, Johnny.

We really owe our lives to each other.

I can see how troubled you are.

What's wrong, Johnny?

What's bothering you?

Can't you tell us?

It's nothing.

I've been letting a personal thing get to

me, that's all.

It's about your girlfriend, isn't it?

Well, is that what it is, a woman?

Lin Chang is her name.

We were going to get married.

That's what I thought at the time.

Then, Brother Charlie had to show up.

He's a TV director.

She had one great ambition.

She had to get to the top.

Nobody, nothing, could stand in her way.

I came

home early.

I heard voices.

I

heard

voices.

Johnny.

It wasn't...

It didn't mean...

You want to sleep with her, Charlie.

You want her, we'll take her.

Johnny, don't.

Wait a minute, listen.

We began as a joke, really.

We didn't mean to, only...

Oh, God, you love her.

No, I hate her.

Johnny, wait, please.

And so you decided you'd get away.

That you'd lead an expedition into the Himalayas.

Yeah.

Now, look, you got it made.

All you've got to do is grab the

monster.

Then you'll be known around the world.

You'll be a hero.

Why worry, Johnny?

You'll be able to get any woman you

want.

If we're going to catch him, we'll need

our sleep.

Watch out!

What are you doing, Johnny?

What made you kill him?

Tell me why you killed him.

Why?

He was suffering, so I put an end

to it.

There's no point in our wasting medicine.

I won't go on.

It's no good.

It's much too dangerous.

There is no Peking Man.

He's imaginary.

He doesn't exist.

Listen, stop.

Quiet down.

Now, listen.

We're discouraged.

We know it's dangerous, but we swore we'd

go through with it.

That's what we're going to do.

We came here to catch Peking Man, and

we're going to catch him.

All right, come with me.

Here is another one.

Another one also.

It can only be from Peking Man.

Yes, it's Peking Man.

This is a very fresh print.

The ground is moist in the center.

I think we're close.

We'll try to follow them.

If he wants to kill himself, let him

do it alone.

It's getting too dangerous around here.

I'm getting out.

I'll go with you.

Hey, Lung Tien, hey, Lung Tien,

where are you?

Way up.

I'm Johnny Fang.

I was sent here to catch the Peking

Man.

It doesn't hurt.

It was nothing.

How did you get here?

The missionaries?

Your papa, your mama.

Papa, mama?

Papa, mama?

That's it.

Where are they?

Yes, I saw you.

Papa, mama?

Will you take me to see them?

Take me.

Come.

Come.

Come here.

Oh, my God!

Look who's here!

Come on, Miss Asui.

Come on.

Papa!

Niwei!

It was Peking Man.

He took care of you as a child.

He's that giant, isn't he?

That big one that I saw.

Isn't that right?

My question's been

answered.

You know, your name is Samantha Samantha, yes.

And eat, eat, eat, huh?

Eat what?

Come, come here.

Gee, thanks!

Wow!

That bull look!

Aboui, wait!

Congo!

Here you go.

Done.

Wait.

Catch!

Eat.

Eat?

Yes.

Eat.

Up.

Let's go.

Faster.

Yes, it's my room.

Thank you.

Sit down, sit down.

Thank you.

Want a drink?

Ah, Mr. Luchin.

Hello there.

It's nice to see you again.

Can we talk to you?

Yes, please, please.

Sit down.

Well, I suppose your expedition wasn't exactly a

success.

It's too bad.

No, we searched every inch of that jungle.

The monster just doesn't exist, I'm certain.

I see.

The monster is pure imagination.

I can personally guarantee that.

A very brave man to undertake that expedition.

And Johnny, will he show up?

No, Johnny won't survive.

He doesn't stand a chance.

I'm afraid it's impossible for him to get

out alone.

He's a good kid, only he doesn't know

the jungle.

Johnny.

You're all right.

You're getting well.

Don't!

Maybe just a smile Will save many things

Could it be I'm in, could it be

I'm in Maybe Could it be I'm in,

could it be I'm in Maybe Could it

be I'm in, could it be I'm in

Maybe Could

it be I'm in, could it be I'm

in I can't begin to say What makes

me feel like this I never knew what

love could do But if this is love,

it's here to stay And Johnny said, so

all I have to give, I give it

all to you.

Life, that's easy to explain.

Are you feeling the same?

Samantha, I'd like to bring Utam to the

outside world.

We'd take a boat and go to Hong

Kong.

Don't worry, he'll be all right.

I think the entire world wants to see

him.

We would be together.

How about it?

Yes?

Yes.

Chi-chi.

Let's go.

Chi-chi.

Wait.

No, Chi

-chi.

There you

are.

I've been looking for you.

Where is he?

He's over there, behind the palace.

Great, let's go take a look.

A large

freighter, and in a week, we'll put that

stupid animal on show in Hong Kong.

The King and the Queen No, chain,

you take away, he no like.

No, impossible, we musn't take away.

No, and no good soul, no good.

He is a very large animal.

You see, he is very strong, he is

tall.

And he weighs a lot, you see.

With the chains he stays where he is.

Otherwise if he gets excited, he can roll

the ship over.

No question about it.

Good work.

What's wrong?

What is it?

Something hurt?

No good.

They put chain on him, you know, like

he's hurting.

Oh, Utham is strong.

He is a giant.

We have to put him in chains.

Otherwise, he'll sink us.

When we get to Hong Kong, we take

away the chains, right?

No reason to cry.

Poor Samantha.

You won't hurt Utham, darling.

Don't worry.

Don't cry and I'll show you what I

got you.

Open it up.

This isn't the jungle.

Women wear dresses.

I mean, you can't wear just animal skins.

You wear things like that.

Try it on.

Go ahead.

That wasn't very discreet.

As a rule, you're not before coming in.

Sorry.

Don't worry, I won't do it again.

I wanted to tell you the good news,

Johnny.

We have got a sure winner and this

proves it.

The cable says all tickets have been sold

out.

He is the sensation of the century, that

monster.

Believe me, there is no telling how rich

we can get.

We'll tour around the world.

And that's why I had to barge in,

Johnny.

Well, what do you think of that?

Just think, everybody on earth will pay to

see it.

Do you know what power that is?

We'll make fortunes.

No one can stop us, Johnny.

We can get a fortune, only I'm not

so sure that we ought to.

You forget one thing.

I'm afraid you haven't any choice.

You made a deal, Johnny.

I don't think you want to back out.

You think about it.

I don't forget you're entitled to a percentage

of the profits.

So it doesn't make sense not to get

it, right?

OK, you'll see it my way.

Let's have a drink.

Congratulations on you finding him.

Peaking man will make a fortune.

I need a fortune.

Thank you, Captain.

This is a very happy moment.

I think it's only appropriate to drink a

toast to the real hero.

To the man worth his weight in gold.

A toast to mighty Peaking man, right?

Here we go.

And may he live long.

Captain, this is the latest weather report.

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

No, no, no.

Oh, yes.

Captain, is something wrong?

I received this weather report.

It says a typhoon headed right for the

ship.

It's a big one.

I'm going to steer a new course for

Singapore and wait there until the storm blows

over in a day or two.

We can't lose any time, Captain.

You can't do that.

No, we have booked the stadium and it's

too late now to stop the whole thing.

Maybe you don't realize what we'd be losing.

Out of the question, you sail straight to

Hong Kong.

But who will take the responsibility if anything

does happen?

I will.

For all of the ship.

I don't care what the weather report says.

We will go straight to Hong Kong and

on time.

And should anything go wrong, I take responsibility

entirely.

No matter what.

You realize that we have a contract.

But if we don't get to Hong Kong

on time, you are legally obliged to make

good on my losses.

Now, what do you say?

You have no choice.

The course is Hong Kong.

Where is it?

This is

your new home.

I'll take you up on the top to

get the view.

See, it's fantastic.

Hey, Johnny, how are you?

You made it.

This is really fantastic.

I knew you'd do it, Johnny.

Yes.

And listen, I want an interview.

OK?

How was it?

I'll tell you.

I was lucky to get out alive.

I'll explain the whole thing.

How are you?

You sound busy.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm back.

You sound great.

Right now, I'm recording a TV show.

Listen, it'll take another hour.

Why don't you come right over?

OK, I'll get a taxi.

Don't worry.

Quick as I can.

OK, be right back.

You want to see a broadcasting station?

Taxi?

I'd like to see my brother, Charlie Fang.

Of course, I love him.

Johnny.

It's good to see you.

How are you?

Well, you look just the same.

You want a big surprise?

Here she is.

This is Samantha.

She was raised in the jungle, you know.

This is my brother.

You know, Johnny, we're all ready.

You can shoot when you want to, sir.

Thanks.

Will you take these people to the observation

room?

Oh, sure.

Right away.

He'll take you.

You can watch the show, OK?

See you later.

OK.

Come on.

I was asked to deliver this.

Excuse me, sir.

I was asked to deliver this.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'll be right back.

You wait here.

How have you been?

Johnny, please sit down.

For me, it's been a long time.

Do we just make conversation?

I mean, now we're nearly strangers.

Johnny, please don't talk that way.

Please don't.

Lynn.

You went away.

I was so hurt.

I wanted to explain the whole thing about

your brother.

The only thing I wanted, Johnny, was success.

There wasn't anything.

I swear there wasn't.

It was just a horrid mistake.

Don't cry, Lynn.

What happened?

Did you and he go on?

Lynn, answer me.

We broke up.

Johnny, it's you I want.

He was jealous of you.

It was just a game to him.

I never knew he was so cruel.

I didn't think he'd ever do a thing

like that.

When I get through, he won't do it

again.

No, there's no point now.

I was as guilty as he was.

Now it's ended.

My conscience was troubled the whole year.

I used to think, what if he's in

danger?

Oh, Johnny, you might have been dying.

When they came back, told me you were

someplace alone in the jungle.

Without much hope.

Johnny, I wanted to die.

I used to pray that you were all

right.

And now, that you've really returned.

Johnny, will you forgive me?

It was all in the past.

Forget it.

It's finished now.

No regrets.

We won't talk of it again.

Oh, you mean it?

We can start again?

I want Sue to make up for what

I did.

Samantha!

Johnny, who is that girl?

Wait here.

I'll tell you later.

The crowd's going crazy.

Can't break the chain.

What's happening?

Is it time

yet?

Oh, yes, the peaking man.

Samantha, you don't scare anyone.

Let's see some of your strength.

They all bought tickets to see a show.

If you won't do anything, we'll make you.

Go ahead.

Let's see a dancing girl.

Like that, huh?

Peaking man.

Please, don't.

What's up?

We go away.

We go jungle.

Samantha, you'll be all right.

Don't cry.

Come on.

Come on.

Come with me.

Come on.

Come on.

You'll be all right.

Drink it.

It's good.

Drink.

Drink.

Drink, I said.

Drink.

Just like the jungle.

Come back, Tigress.

Well, Tigress.

Put all forces on the alert.

The monster has got away.

Yes, peaking.

It's peaking man.

What's wrong?

There's a gorilla.

A giant gorilla.

Don't worry.

Look, my wife is a gorilla too.

What do you mean, talking like that?

Come on.

Attention.

Here he is.

Commissioner has just arrived.

Commissioner here.

Right, I'll give you the plan now.

First of all, we must draw him away

from the high buildings.

Yes.

Now.

Yes, I'm taking personal charge.

Right.

This is an order.

You are to mobilize all units.

You are under my personal orders.

All units will take up battle stations behind

the tanks.

In position, you will await the signal.

And stand by to attack.

Stand by to attack.

Must be

stopped at all costs.

All right, come in.

Yes, sir.

Use all firepower to kill peaking man.

Yes, sir.

We shoot to kill.

Tell your men, go on.

I know a way to capture him.

How are you going to capture peaking man?

There was a girl out in the jungle

as well.

He obeys her, does whatever she says.

If we could locate her, he would settle

down immediately.

I'm willing.

Where is she now?

You've got to mount a search.

The only thing I know is she's dressed

entirely in animal skins.

I'd ought to narrow it down a little.

Only animal skin.

She'd be damned easy to find then.

Issue an order to pick this girl up.

He'll give you a complete description.

Attention.

Attention all units, there's been a new development.

We must locate a certain girl.

You'll get a full description.

All units, you are to concentrate your fire.

And also intensify it.

Anything to kill peaking man.

Anything to kill this peaking man.

Kill the peaking man by any means you

can.

Kill the peaking man by any means.

That's an order.

I have an

idea.

I want you to fill the water reservoirs

on the roof with gasoline and explosives.

Use a timing device to detonate it, okay?

We could blow up the building.

I don't give a damn about the building.

He's cornered now and he's easy to kill.

Get going.

Carry out my order.

Get going.

Samantha.

He's hurt.

He's hurt.

You have to stop it.

Don't kill him.

He's a ferocious animal.

We have to get him.

Don't you understand?

He'll destroy the entire city.

He would listen to her.

It's very difficult to explain, but he'll do

what she says.

Listen.

I talked to Wutan.

He won't start killing.

On condition you don't kill him.

I want you to swear it.

Very well.

You made a promise.

Don't worry.

I'll keep my word.

All units cease firing.

You're ordered to cease firing.

Until further order, you will cease firing.

Back to

jungle.

You hear me, Wutan?

We go home.

Wutan.

We go back to jungle.

You be safe, Wutan.

To all units, he's calmed down.

It's our best chance to get him.

Bring the helicopters into action.

Your orders are to shoot.

All units shoot.

You hear?

Shoot to kill.

Understood, sir.

What are you doing?

Stop it!

That's right.

Let him have it.

Continue to attack no matter what.

We have to kill it!

Stop!

Stop it!

Sir, the bomb unit is ready to move

at once.

All right, then go ahead and prepare to

blow at once.

You three on that side.

What are the bombs for?

I was told this wasn't going to happen.

Your commanding officer promised.

You stop right now.

You mind your own business.

It's wild animals.

The quicker we're able to kill them, the

better.

You're not going to kill him!

You can't stop us.

It's too late.

The building is going to go up in

an explosion.

The water tanks contain gasoline.

A delayed fuse has already been set.

You can't save the monster.

Fire!

Fall back!

Let's get out of here!

Attack him again!

We have to get out of here!

We have to get out of here!

Please!

Stop!

Forgive me!

Any second, the whole building's going to explode!

We've got to get out of here!

Stop!

I know that I can't!
