Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The most cited man on MIFV, John LeMay, returns for his all-but-mandatory-at-least-once-a-season appearance to discuss the second Shaw Bros. film we\u2019ve covered this season: Mighty Peking Man<\/em>. This infamous cult classic was a favorite of director Quinton Tarantino, and it’s easy to see why: it’s sleazy yet weirdly artsy. It feels like an exploitation film at points\u2014especially with the gorgeous Evalyn Kraft running around in nothing but a goatskin bikini\u2014but the special effects are remarkably well-executed thanks to Keizo Murase. Since it\u2019s John’s favorite \u201cKongsploitation\u201d movie, that is the first of two Toku Topics this episode, with the other being the Peking Man fossil, which partly inspired this flick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
