It’s rough around the edges and doesn’t always keep the pace consistent, but it shows real promise that was never quite realised.

There are quite a few spurts of fight action, but these are in-keeping with the playful tone of the film and offer little spectacular.

‘The Knight Of Knights’ could easily be considered standard Shaw Brothers fair, if it weren’t for the slight twist on the style of storytelling.

The amusing antics of the Monkey king and Pigsy always seem to make for good movie material and I’m happy to report that this film is no exception.

A four-star movie that, due to its heavy-handed closing shots, loses half a star; the same idea was used with much more sophistication at the end of ‘Anonymous Heroes’.
