The Mighty Peking Man at GFT
Saturday 13 December, 2025, 3.20 p.m.
A rare screening of the Shaw Brothers’ 1977 take on King Kong, one of the maddest monster movies ever made and a true cult classic.
Best known for revolutionising the martial arts genre, the legendary Shaw Brothers studio in the late 1970s branched out into exploitation cinema, resulting in some truly bizarre and unhinged films, none more so than The 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.
In Mandarin with English and Chinese subtitles.
This screening will be introduced by Focus Hong Kong festival curator, James Mudge.
GFT 12 Rose Street, G3 6RB
