Tales of the Gold Monkey - Pilot Movie Opening Credits

[wn6904k]

Anyone have any idea where the goose is now ? I have not seen or heard about where it went in a few years. It was last seen on the east coast, painted blue with yellow..

[Razormiller]

hahaha I am pissed and I told my mate that there was a couple of shows called scarecrow and misses king and remington and steel and a show called something of the golden monkey... i found the other two shows pretty quickly but to find this one is gold dust ..... cheers

[spacefan1962]

They don't make em like this anymore! Ahhhh, I remember it well. And look, kids, it's Captain Will Decker from the first Star Trek film!

[sakpan39]

Oh man, I missed that sweet music!! Born in 1974, I would never miss an episode! Greetings from Greece!

[wmrbeach94]

Great show that I loved in my youth - thanks for sharing!

[ralphyetmore]

I just about crapped my pants, because the main character looked like Greg Kinnear for a second.

"NOOOO.... oh, wait. It's not him. Whew!"

[Trackiller]

ti eipes tora? hmouna nios kai gerasa !!!

[Lisre01]

wow talk about a blast from my past.....i used to LOVE this show !!!!, they dont make TV like this anymore.....its such a shame

[GRwarrior77]

I was born in 1977. This show was shown in Greece in the early 80's. I was very young but i cannot forget Jake Carter and his adventures!

I'll try to buy all the episodes.

[giannis4]

@GRwarrior77 Right on brother! Επαιζε τα μεσημερια τις Κυριακες

[GRwarrior77]

@giannis4 Προφανώς είμαστε 'σειρούλες' στην ηλικία. Χαίρομαι που και άλλοι θυμούνται την σειρά και μάλιστα τους άρεσε πολύ. Δεν θυμάμαι πότε ακριβώς την έπαιζαν, αλλα ήταν φανταστική σειρά. Θα ψάξω να βρώ τα επεισόδια.

[giannis4]

@GRwarrior77 βρες ρε φιλαρα να θυμηθουμε τα παλια

[74brooklynboi]

I always wanted to live where they shot this.

[dkerris]

They're releasing the complete series on DVD in June!!!!

[beloon1970]

As I remember at the end of the pilot episode the large statue of the gold monkey is found by someone but it is gaurded by monkeys and it never shows what happens after that.

[yaronam]

when I was a kid growing up in san diego I used to love watching this. I remeber the main character used to take out the glass eye of his dog and put it back at least every episode.

come to think of it was so wierd even back then.

What sick mind thought of this?

[TedStryker71]

Oh yeah... (totally forgot about that)! That WAS sorta demented, wasn't it? *lol*

[yaronam]

Totally. more demented than that sucidal midget from Fantasy Island

[yaronam]

or Isaac from Love Boat for that matter

[TedStryker71]

I always wondered what happened to Decker after he merged with V'GER... Now I know.

[Reenactor359]

LOL

[JackTraven2525]

Comes out on DVD in the UK in October '09.

[SELFproclaimedVIRGIN]

nice

[SupYannis]

i was wandering if u got a link to where i can get those series on dvd

looking forward to your reply

bye

[JackTraven2525]

Google = HMV UK

[nycfilmdude]

Of course, here in the U.S., we'll have to wait another 20 years!

[escapeartist323]

They don't make fun shows like this and the other 80's stuff any more. This new generation will be stuck with memories of "so you think you can dance" and they will be none the wiser of how ripped off they are.

[fireflylilly]

I loved this show when I was little, they've released it on DVD yeh!!! :-))

[DontcallmeFrenchy]

@escapeartist323

That's why you've got to share it around! I'm 19 years old, and I grew up on re-runs of Mission Impossible and MASH. Now I'm finding shows like Gold Monkey and it's on my birthday list. I try to let all my friends know about the great shows from before our time.

[nonstop511]

I always wanted to grow up and buy one of those sea planes....but ended up buying a bid pickup truck instead...lol

[yellofury]

Man this came out at the same time as "Bring Em Back Alive" with Bruce Boxleitner

[IG2HI]

That was during the INDIANA JONES craze. I dug both shows. Hate that the complete series of both aren't collected on DVD yet.

[aheaps71]

I have been telling people about this show I used to watch for ages, and nobody remembered it. Wow, fond memories

[muskratspond]

tell me about it, my wife just looks at me strange.

[gshow1970]

great theme song

[Picturamadojo]

Thanks for this. I absolutely LOVED this show!

[Chiggs58th]

Tales of the gold monkey and bring 'em back alive were a couple of dismal efforts made purely to cash in on the success of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.

[turoasaur]

yes but you didnt know it at the time

[Chiggs58th]

Of course I knew it. Everyone knew it. How could you not know? Raiders was huge at the time and TV networks always have and always will try to cash in on the latest Hollywood movie trends. Star wars begat battlestar galactica, blue thunder begat airwolf etc, etc.

[kurtangleukreborn]

Konichi /WWoooooooooooow!

[VoteforKrang]

TOGM- The Movie? I'd go see it! :)

[wonderglory]

Who would your cast picks be? Here are mine;

Jake Cutter (Paul Walker)

Corky (Jason Biggs)

Sarah Stickney-White (Jenna von Oy)

Bon Chance Louie (Simon MacCorkindale)

Rev. Willie Tenboom (W.K. Stratton)

Princess Koji (Lucy Liu)

Todo (Greg Watanabe)

Gushie (Balthazar Getty)

Jack, Jake's dog would probably be a Jackapuggle. That's a Jackabee/puggle mix.

[Achi11eus]

Welll I like Lucy Lui... but I think i would prefer Ging Li. She is prettier...sexier.. and has a nasty princess bitch look to her!

[bodizone1]

the complete season is available all over the net. 22 episodes. This was my favourite show, and blows tv today away. "reality" tv..F%#$%@ that!! Gold Monkey was way ahead of its time, and cost too much to produce, as they wanted a realistic feel to the show. ABC execs saw ratings climbing towards the end of the first season, but axed it. I was 12, and this show was very inspiring. Now I can only dream of a more simple, but creative era of tv and film, the 80's. Man, gettin old sucks!!

[robfergusonjr]

@bodizone1 The truth has never been written so true! We are the same age and what a excellent era that have lived ... America's True golden age: 1971-1985.

[maxpower1870]

I loved this show as a kid it made me want to be a pilot. The Grumman Goose is the star of the show for me

[7hannahbanana7]

i love stephen collins sooo much!!!!!<3333

[CrochetOwl]

Now this was a fun show and enjoyed it way back when (Jack the one-eyed pup losing his eye/wearing a patch is what I remember the most). It's time to get this released on DVD already please.

[Soapinfools]

I bought a set of DVD's recently on eBay!!

[jeff72121]

I watched this when I was a kid too and LOVED it! When will it be out on DVD?!?!?! I keep watching and waiting for it, but I still haven't seen it on DVD.

[DorsetRose]

I remember sitting down to watch this in the uk as a young teenager. I had quite forgotten it until this reminded me. A pity it only ran for such a short while.

[zasa119]

A fucking classic

[astonmartindbsoo7]

i remember watching this show when i was little and loved it shud put it on tv again

[blondebird3]

OMG nobody I know remebers this, I thought I'd dreamt it up. Want to watch em all and thank God there are others out ther who remembered!

[zasa119]

FUCKING A...I just found the Fall Guy Intro, know this... 80's rule

[piratevs]

THIS SHOW ROCKZ

[MonMitch]

My brother just sent me this and he has been the only other person I know who remembers this show. I am so glad that other people enjoyed and remember it too. Thanks for posting!

[Upanishadas]

Fantastic! I loved this show when I was little. Thanks for the trip down amnesia lane! :)

[netoohw]

awsome me too

[christos010578]

ο jake και macgaiver!!!!!!υπεροχες αναμνησεις!!1980's!!!!τωρα πια εμαι 30!!δεν τις συγκρινψ με καμμια σειρα..απλα φανταστικες!!!!

[Domzdream]

Oh my god. I must've been about 8 years old or so when this came out. I really enjoyed this series. Very Indiana Jones. I wonder why it ended?

[1941Bismarck]

This was a great series. I also remember watching it as a young man in the 80's. Not bad for it's time. Thanks !

[The1trueAKUMA]

wow talk about nostalgia trips. I dont know why but this show popped into my head the other day. Is it even aired on tv in reruns anymore? I remember watching this all the time when I was a kid (I think I was 9 at the time). Funny now because the star of the show is on 7th heaven now lol. what a turnaround!

[SeriouslyMcMIllan]

Thx for making me remember being 12. If you didn't experience the 80's first hand... your life must sux. The 80s rox! 4eva

[nursecrystaltips]

Oh my God!! LOL!!

My most favourite programme!

I named my eldest son Jake after the lead character....my Jake is 19 years old now!!!

Sweet memories

[nicenfoxy]

Oh my God, thankyou thankyou thankyou!!!! I really didn't think I'd be able to find this on here. I used to love Jake, I watched this when I was ten every Saturday night without fail while having my tea from the local chippy! Great memories, thankyou so much goldmonkeydotcom. I've been transported back to 1983!

[tzoyia1]

Υπέροχη σειρά, ακόμα και

μεταγλωτισμένη, αλλά μάλλον

είμαι η μοναδική από την

Ελλάδα που την θυμάται...

[christos010578]

οχι και η μονη!!!ειμαι και εγω εδω!!!!

[ConlinErrol]

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Anyone know if it's possible to find on DVD in UK?

[Slayknot]

This Show was Great. Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't someone from this show die while they were doing a live broadcast or something like that

[codenamehardhat]

Didn't the dog have an eye patch?

[markakoenen]

Normally he did. The dog supposedly had a glass eye which Jake kept losing and thereby forcing the dog to wear an eye patch. A recurring theme throughout the short life of the show to get the glass eye back.

[qrusticks]

The dogs name was "Jack"...or at least that was the name given by the Greek compilers... I loved this show....

[AnnieG1416]

Amazing! I was addicted to this show as a 10 year old and Stephen Collins was my first HUGE crush. I dreamed all night of Jake Cutter! Thank you for these....what memories!

[kytten143]

Wasn't the dogs name "Corky". And was it two barks for "yes", & one bark for "no" or vice versa. It's been 25 years ago. Can't remember....

[Iwtlv]

Corky was the name of the sidekick, I believe the dog's name might have been Jake. Like you I haven't seen this show in years and I don't have cable. It may still come on cable but I don't know. This show was tv's version of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Great Show. Both this and Raiders.

[dma10014]

This show was a perfect boy's show. A guy with a plane that could turn into a boat, a dog, a pretty girl, guns, and adventure.

You know what else is cool, that wouldn't happen today. They guy is actually smoking. Now, he'd be a villain or something stupid like that.

[dildoabuser]

what a fcukin brilliant show back in about 1981 82 when i first saw it, ha ha, and yeah i remember whiz kids, the kid was a computer hacker eh eh.

[vidgames4ever]

I never thought I would see anything about this show ever again. I used to watch it when I was 9 or 10 years old. THANK YOU for the memories of a short-lived, but welled rememberd show. Anyone remembers Whiz Kids, huh,huh anyone?!?

[fdnyk]

great memories. my father used to make malteds for me my brother and my sister on wed nights while my mom was at bingo. we couldnt wait till that show was on . thanks for the upload

[teslynick]

this brings back good memories... :)

[monkeyash]

I used to love this as a kid but never seen it since...ahhhh memories memories.

[mrspivvy]

wow! never thought I'd see this again. It's never been repeated here.

[jpowell180]

Back in the days when, after merging with V'Ger, the Rev Camden decided to be an Indy-like adventurer before settling down with that whale-scientist friend of Jim Kirk's......that Annie chick...

[racpembertondual]

i´m from Mexico and this show was broadcasting in the tv here too, and i was very young, like 4 or 5 years old, i love it, i love Jack the dog with one eye. I hope somebody put this on DVD. I hope, i buy it if that happens. ¡Saludos!

[FlamingWilco]

Didn't the dog have one eye and there was a running sub plot where the dog was trying to get it back? or maybe im just deluded.

[dlralston]

you are right, in later episodes he had a patch and they always talked about the fake eye was lost in a card game

[ginganinja]

Thanks! But why take all the time and effort to upload these scenes and not post a whole episode on daily motion or veoh. Universal will never get round to releasing this, until they see there is money in it.

[doomlord1973]

Thats cool can anybody remember "Bring em Back Alive"?

[HallofWisdom]

Yeah, I remember that one too. Frank Buck (played by Bruce Boxleitner ) Both of these shows came out fast on the heels of 'Raiders' as did a very short lived TV show 'Casablanca' - The Gold Monkey was my favorite. It's hard for me to watch now, though.

[7thheavenluver]

when was this show on tv???

[sakurablue13]

geez, never thought i could laid eyes on this terrific series ever again! excellent decision!! thx ^__^

[Darrenef]

Wow! Seeing this makes me think EVERYthing is (or soon will be) available on YouTube! This is one of the more obscure shows from my childhood - one that I loved and no one else seems to remember. Thanks for sharing!

[xoomoon]

Do you remember this tv show called Matthew Star? It's like starman

[ronolil]

I remember both of these shows very fondly both great shows another one that was on around that time was Manimal. Any one remember it?

[char4him99]

you bet!! Loved that show..

[giantsquidstudio]

Yep! Manimal, the Man form Atlantis, and this show. Great, goofy fun. I miss these shows.

[mftepera]

Indiana Jones rip off way back in the day. Amusing.

[sclements75]

Actually, this show was written way before Raiders. It's the zeitgeist thing. Everyone was having the same idea at the same time. Look at the first season of Wonder Woman from 1977 and you'll see what I mean. Raiders was just the best done of the bunch.

[jess4metoo]

I don't remember this program at all. What network did it run on? Looks good.

[pshfood]

why do they take away all the good ones WHYYYYYY GOD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

[Prhine]

I miss this show :(

[wendigocol]

I used to love this show as a kid

[5thprofession47]

What a great show!

[treksinscifi]

Thanks - brings back the memories!

[Bigglesnpt]

Great show cancelled before it's time
