Iron money movie movie#
One of the flaws that this movie had is that it spent barely any time actually explaining anything. However, when a skilled shaolin monk is blackmailed into fighting him, and the Royal Minister is slated to arrive in the city, the Iron Monkey must make his move and retake the city from the grip of its evil money-obsessed governor. His assistant is the beautiful Miss Orchid, who also possesses both medicinal skill and martial arts skill, and aids the Iron Monkey/Dr. Yang, a skilled doctor who treats all patients, regardless of wealth, and overcharges the rich to pay for the poor. A Robin Hood-esque champion of the downtrodden masses, Iron Monkey regularly robs the governor and doles out his profits to the poor refugees in the city.īy day, however, Iron Monkey is Dr. However, one man stands in his way: the Iron Monkey. The governor is withholding the foodstocks of the town, and later plans to sell the food at a huge profit in order to become rich. Instead, all they find are money-hungry nobles and unjust bosses. With the countryside ravaged by warlords, refugees flee to the larger cities in hope that they can find a better life. It is said that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and here, it is no different.
Directed by Yuen Woo-Ping, the choreographer for a great many films including Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Matrix, Fearless, and the Kill Bill movies, Iron Monkey is, if nothing else, an action-packed Chinese Robin Hood adventure.
Chinese film-makers love a good brawler too, and Iron Monkey is an excellent example of that. Chinese Kung Fu films aren't all the cultured, artistic masterpieces that are usually brought stateside.
