My local video store's corny horror movie section circa 1993 brought me here. I'm pretty sure at some point I rented this and Leprechaun in the same transaction :)
there is no way that the same guy who directed Night of the living Dead directed this movie! I seen it on TV the other night and i was so sick from looking at thisn movie!
Hey everyone if you like this film search for another Monkey film called *LINK* if you want to, the easy way to search for it is to put *LINK 1986* the user has the hole film up on youtube! its not as well known as Monkey shines, but its a damn good film ENJOY!! :o )
Linda is a hoe,fucking stupid whore.if my girlfriend did that,i wouldn't send a monkey,i would send a whole army of evil ninja guinea pigs to shit in her slippers every night.
@MsLoveMe27 Yea I was reading through the comments and yours was my side splitting laugh for the day...specially the part about the ninja guineas shitting in the slippers
Let's hear it for my uncle Michael Stewart, who wrote the book which the film was adapted from...he was the guy that came up with the idea in the first place.
This was an okay movie. The pacing was terrible, and some of the acting was downright hokey. But the film had a marvelously unique concept, a welcome change from the usually stale formula of horror movies. The most memorable scene for me was actually the love scene, because the topic of sexuality among the handicapped is one that hollywood so rarely ever dares to touch.
the movie is so fucking bad that its good,like a killer mokey,now thats fucking funny,the acting just makes u laugh ur ass off,the music at some parts doesnt go with the movie at all and why when the monkey does something bad that the guy can see it when hes sleeping?and why does his teeth turn into monkey teeth?like wtf lmfao and i love the part where the bird starts attacking the guys eyes lmao was the bird evil too?and then the lady thaught that he killed the bird somehow?HE CANT FUCKING MOVE
this movie was great. this movie was a classic. george romero makes great movie classics. he is just like stephen king. both are the masters of terror and suspense.
this movie is actually quite good, went to the video store with my friend and rented thinking its gonna be shit, but it was actually really good, i enjoyed it
wtf happened to the original trailer with just the monkey and the cymbals that shit was scary son. probably not anymore but was trying to see that dun. sooo disappointed
Hahaha I've seen this film it's class. The fact that the has a part of the budgie attack scene is awesome, as it's definitely one of the highlights of the film.
@iambernig AIDS came about from the consumption of monkey meat. The Ebola virus also. Revenge of the monkeys who were sent into space by NASA. And, as the song says, Yes, they had no bananas (in the spaceships). Which is exactly why the United States has turned into a corrupt, violence-plagued Banana Republic. No different from the Sea World trainer who was drowned by "Free Willy". Expect more of the same. Gabrielle Giffords is married to an astronaut.
@Mike1981j It might be relevant to the abused monkeys or to the almost-extinct mountain gorillas -- a woman named Dian Fossey was murdered trying to save them. How are animals relevant to Animal Planet? They're not a waste of space like stupid people such as yourself. Adolph Hitler murdered 6 million Jews who practiced the incredibly cruel practice of kosher slaughter. On Elvis's birthday, January 8, a kosher-eating U.S. congresswoman was shot in the head and her supporters murdered. Relevance.
@Mike1981j If you can't see that life imitates art and that that is what this movie is all about -- the revenge of the abused monkeys -- then you are irrelevant.
@etbella3 The movie is not about life imitating art, its about a monkey that is able to pick up on his owners thoughts and killing because of them so hes a servant not taking revenge. And the world is filled with problems, you picked monkeys over humanity for whatever reason, so you decided to inform everyone that came to watch a monkey shines trailer? You may want to re-think your plan for educating everyone on the problem. You can't save the world from your computer while on youtube.
@Mike1981j The documentary Life After People, made by the world's most renowned scientists, says humans will soon die off due to their inability to live in harmony with nature-such as killing endangered whales and eating the almost-extinct mountain gorillas and other assorted animals (mad cows). According to Life After People, humans resulted from a strange twisted glitch of DNA and will not come back after this earth dies. Chimps will rule. Humans are a mistake and you are one of the biggest.
@Mike1981j Adolph Hitler made huge strides in eliminating the kosher-slaughtering Jews -- 6 million of the biggest mistakes on the lake -- kosher slaughter is an unserrated knife to the throat followed by a slow death with no anesthesia as blood drips from the cows' necks and they bellow in pain. I am female and Nazis know that eliminating the bad Jew seeds of this planet is men's work. But the Nazis appreciate my writing skills and my ability to lure people like you into a tender trap.
@etbella3 so you're saying you want to go down on me? well have at it, the belt buckle can be a bit tricky but i bet someone with your expertise will have no prob ; )
i like monkeys but, this movie sucked... i couldn't even finish it i got to the part where the monkey starts getting affectionate (if you know what i mean) with the the guy in the wheel chair. then i turned it off and threw it out the window...
And yes crsmith56 I have never been around a monkey BUT I do know they transmit, Tuberculosis and Simian Herpes among other diseases. FURTHERMORE, monkeys are WILD animals and have you seen their TEETH!!! "Cute cuddly" capuchin monkeys have attacked people, at times, causing severe injury and in some cases, maiming them.
I don't like monkeys. That does not mean I am gonna pick up a 12 gauge and start blowing them away if I see one!!!
Well... lets see. Monkeys are not like rattlesnakes at all. Either way, a trained monkey or a wild monkey. A rattlesnake will always attack you, thats common sense. People are encouraged to stay away from rattlesnakes. Thats the reason you don't like them, you were raised to stay away from them, not monkeys.
Is this based off the short story "The Monkey"?
