Governor Mister Phes Posted February 23, 2006 Governor Posted February 23, 2006 Has anyone seen the 13 episodes of Monkey [Magic] that wasn't originally dubbed into English? If so, were the episodes any good? Anybody who hasn't a clue what I'm referring to go here. Quote
Zane Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I saw an episode of this last night. Hilarious. He was supposed to be controlling the rain on a pink cloud thing, and when the people looked up, you could see it was some sort of Action Man on a string. Haw haw.... Hm, that doesn't really answer your question.... TT Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted March 4, 2006 Author Governor Posted March 4, 2006 Yes, that's Monkey alright! A low budget late 70's production with some pretty bad visual effects, but that's part of the series charm. Baring in mind the episodes were edited in 1978 and 79 you've got to give them credit for what they achieved. Back then there were plenty of weekly sci fi series but there was nothing (that I can think of) in the fantasy genre. This didn't t until the mid 90's when Hercules and Xena came along, so Monkey was a pioneer in the field! Quote
Zane Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Yeah. Sadly I wasn't paying much attention to the story (I'd missed most of it because of Deal Or No Deal), but it seemed okay. Not something I'm overly fond of, but quite good. TT Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted March 4, 2006 Author Governor Posted March 4, 2006 Where abouts in the world are you from Mr Tilius and which television network is Monkey on? Quote
Zane Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 UK, and it's on ITV4 at 6:00pm to 6:50pm on Fridays. TT Quote
