    • Trivia
      There were rumors that Teruyoshi Nakano started work on the special effects for this film, but his contract expired, so Sadamasa Arikawa took over.
    • Goofs
      Watch the ending of the film carefully. When the helicopters are shooting the Peking Man to pieces, the impact of the rounds on his body, considering how big he is, should be tiny. But they are huge, as if the weapons being used are his size. Also, when Samantha and Johnny are wounded by the helicopters, the rounds should have torn their limbs off entirely, not just scratched them.
    • Alternate versions
      Original European version with title Colossus of Congo has an alternate ending to the Hong Kong version.

    "Kill The Peking Man By Any Means! That's An Order!"...
    THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN is a sort of homage to / parody of KING KONG. Danny Lee plays the hero, Johnnie Fang, while the astonishingly beautiful Evelyne Kraft plays Samantha (aka: the jungle woman). Together, they bring the giant ape-man of the title back to civilization.

    Of course, the big lug is exploited, tormented, and ultimately goes berserk.

    HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: #1- Johnnie saving Samantha from a snakebite by sucking on her inner thigh! #2- Samantha's leopard-twirling sequence! #3- Samantha's perfect hair and makeup, looking terrific, even in the jungle heat! #4- Samantha's bikini outfit, made of what appears to be car seat upholstery! #5- Samantha running through Hong Kong in said outfit! #6- Any scene featuring the humongous go-rilla man!

    Oh yes, this is entertainment...
