Based on the 16th century Chinese fantasy adventure classic, "Journey to the West" (also the inspiration for "Dragon Ball!") Katsuya Terada's take on the legend of the Monkey King in a savage, lusty saga that "The Portland Tribune" calls: "a Buddhist version of Conan the Barbarian." He raised holy hell as the baddest ape in Ancient China...until the Lord Buddha himself dropped a mountain on him! Now, the Monkey King will get his parole with one condition - he must escort a Buddhist nun through the demon-haunted wastes of the Silk Road on an impossible quest: reach India and bring back a collection of sacred scrolls!
