A martial artist/doctor steals from the corrupt authorities as a masked thief to give to the poor while another martial artist/doctor is forced to hunt him down. But a major threat unites them as a powerful and traitorous shaolin monk takes over the authorities.
A Hong Kong variation on Robin Hood. The corrupt officials of a Chinese village are continually robbed by a masked bandit know as "Iron Monkey" named after a benevolent deity. When all else fails, the Govenor forces a traveling physician (Donnie Yen) into finding the bandit. The arrival of an evil Shaolin monk, brings the Physician and Iron Monkey together to battle the corrupt government.
Perhaps in its native language this film doesn't have lines as silly and hokey, but you can't use that excuse for some of the foolishness of the plot. I was hoping for another great story with fantastic dialogue and amazing martial arts (like Crouching Tiger, The Sword, etc). I didn't get it. The martial arts were astounding, don't get me wrong, it's worth seeing just for that, if you like that sort of thing (which I do). However, the ‘bad guys' were more like bumbling idiots (I was, several times, reminded of Schultz from Hogans Heroes) and as I said the dialogue made me cringe in parts it was so bad. The ‘good guys' had average dialogue, it didn't make me cringe, but I didn't walk out impressed with it. If you are looking for martial arts and great fight scenes GO, if you want a good story and intelligent dialogue, you can still go if you don't mind the fact that this movie won't have it. I'm not sorry I saw it, but I won't be watching it again. I gave it a 7 for the outstanding martial arts.
Iron Monkey, much like The Green Hornet series, can be taken one of two ways. Its either a story about a chinese Robin Hood, who goes around trying to right wrongs or it&#39;s a story about the youth of the amazingly popular wong fei hung character from the once upon a time series and countless other films.<br/><br/>In a nutshell, the titular Iron Monkey is causing grief for the corrupt magistrates of a chinese province. He keeps pinching the Magistrates ill gotten gains and distributing the wealth among the poor and needy. The magistrates attempts to capture the Iron monkey always fail, laregely due to his supreme Kung-Fu skills. One day a young wong fei hung and his father (peoples favourite, Donnie Yen) are making their way through the town. The magistrates are rounding up anyone likely to be Iron Monkey and discover that Donnie Yen is a renowned Kung-Fu master. They send him after Iron Monkey, while holding Wong Fei Hung as insurance that he will finish the job. They also are sent some government officials to check out whats going on in the province. Who just happen to be ruthless Kung-Fu mercenaries.<br/><br/>In this story we learn why Wong Fei Hung is so compassionate and resolute. He is thoroughly disciplined by his father, but learns compassion for all people from the Iron Monkey. And a former prostitute (what is it about china and prostitutes?).<br/><br/>Iron Monkey is a really fun film, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The Kung Fu is great, the story is enjoyable and the characters are really interesting. And the big bad baddie, a former Shoalin Monk, uses the funkiest moves ever. The King Kong palm. Class.
Viewers impressed by the fairly standard martial-arts action of "Crouching Tiger" will really be wowed after seeing this film.
Besides the occasional just mentioned differences only highlighted when there&#39;s a remarkable difference, the US Version contains more than 100 cuts.
