More reviews:
'Revolutionary ideas that soon will be the standard for all mentalists .... Worthy of being seen on TV and still be believable!'
- Joe Monti, National TV Producer (Criss Angel's Mindfreak)

'Utterly baffling.'
- Colin McLeod

'To say that I'm impressed is an understatement! This is something I will carry with me personally everywhere I go. The secondary DVD also includes a staggering amount of additional files which open up limitless possibilities for magicians, mentalists and hypnotists alike. Words simply do not do this justice.'
-Michael Murray

'This is one of those times I wish I could toss my moral compass out the window and just tell you this product is crap... just so I can keep it to myself.'
-Bryce Kuhlman, My Lovely Assistant

'This is for the thinking mentalist who wants to be at the cutting edge of new ideas without using stooges or electronic gadgets. Real magic of the mind that takes advantage of how our minds work!'
-Paul Draper

'Chris, you are a freaking genius and you can quote me on that! The method is diabolical!'
-Matthew Johnson

'Ingenious and innovative... It's not often that some new and useful principle is brought to mentalists, but Chris Philpott has done just that. Highly recommended.'
-Jheff

'This is just ridiculously good. I got it expecting to find it interesting and possibly useful. I was not expecting to be wholly blown away by it, which I was. What I wasn't prepared for was how well-executed they are, and the amount of work that Chris obviously put into them, on many levels, to make them as effective as possible. It's rare that I get this excited about a new mentalism item, but this absolutely warrants it.'
-Joshua Quinn

'It's awesome!'
-Ran Pink

'A radically new breakthrough in the art of mentalism. The 100th Monkey is brilliant and takes dual reality to the next level, the effects are powerful and well thought out, even greater is the core technique which opens the door to endless possibilities!'
-Robert J. Gould

'I think it is great. I had to rub my eyes a few times just looking at it!'
-Craig Filicetti

'This is effing great, so please stop talking about this. The fewer that know about this, the better!'
-Sean Fields

'BRILLIANT!! No hype... No BS.... Everyone we have shown it to is blown away. Thank you for producing something that is really worth more than the asking price. WE LOVE THIS THING!!'
-Paul Gross

'In the hands of a good performer, it can become a deadly psychological weapon, to produce the most organic mind reading ever! I can't recommend The 100th Monkey highly enough.'
-Robert Marsi

'A LOT of work went into this and Chris's passion and personal investment is obvious in all aspects of the production. Great job!'
-Bill Cushman

'This is easily one of the best releases within the past year - pure genius.'
-Brett Barry

'Excellent, top of the line stuff from a master... this is the sort of thing that other performers buy the rights to in order to keep to themselves.'
-Atlas Brookings

Two 26-episode seasons ran in Japan: the first season ran from October 1978 to April 1979, and the second one from November 1979 to May 1980, with screenwriters including Mamoru Sasaki, Isao Okishima, Tetsurō Abe, Kei Tasaka, James Miki, Motomu Furuta, Hiroichi Fuse, Yū Tagami, and Fumio Ishimori.

Saiyūki was dubbed into English from 1979, with dialogue written by David Weir. The dubbed version was broadcast under the name Monkey and broadcast in the United Kingdom by the British Broadcasting Corporation, in New Zealand by Television New Zealand and in Australia by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Only 39 of the original 52 episodes were originally dubbed and broadcast by the BBC: all 26 of series 1 and 13 of series 2. In 2004, the remaining 13 episodes were dubbed by Fabulous Films Ltd using the original voice acting cast, following a successful release of the English-dubbed series on VHS and DVD; later, these newly dubbed episodes were broadcast by Channel 4 in the UK.

A Spanish-dubbed version of Monkey aired in Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic in the early 1980s. While the BBC-dubbed Monkey never received a broadcast in the United States, the original Japanese-language version, Saiyūki, was shown on local Japanese-language television stations in California and Hawaii in the early 1980s.

Plot summary[edit]

Monkey (孫悟空Son Gokū), the title character, is described in the theme song as being 'born from an egg on a mountain top'; a stone egg and thus he is a stone monkey, a skilled fighter who becomes a brash king of a monkey tribe, who, the song goes on to claim, was 'the punkiest monkey that ever popped'.^[1] He achieved a little enlightenment, and proclaimed himself 'Great Sage, Equal of Heaven'.^[2] After demanding the 'gift' of a magical staff from a powerful Dragon king, and to quiet the din of his rough antics on Earth, Monkey is approached by Heaven to join their host, first in the lowly position of Master of the Stable (manure disposal), and then—after his riotous complaints—as 'Keeper of the Peach Garden of Immortality'. Monkey eats many of the peaches, which have taken millennia to ripen, becomes immortal and runs amok. Having earned the ire of Heaven and being beaten in a challenge by an omniscient, mighty, but benevolent, cloud-dwelling Buddha (釈迦如来Shakanyorai), Monkey is imprisoned for 500 years under a mountain in order to learn patience.

Eventually, Monkey is released by the monk Tripitaka (三蔵法師Sanzōhōshi), who has been tasked by the (観世音菩薩Kanzeon Bosatsu) to undertake a pilgrimage from China to India to fetch holy scriptures. The pair soon recruit two former members of the Heavenly Host who were cast out and turned from angels to 'monsters' as a result of Monkey's transgressions: Sandy (沙悟浄Sa Gojō), the water monster and ex-cannibal, expelled from Heaven after his interference caused Heaven's Jade Emperor's (天帝Tentei, Shangdi) precious jade cup to be broken, and Pigsy (猪八戒Cho Hakkai), a pig monster consumed with lust and gluttony, who was expelled from Heaven after harassing the Star Princess Vega—the Jade Emperor's mistress—for a kiss. A dragon, Yu Lung (玉龍Gyokuryū), who was set free by Guanyin after being sentenced to death, eats Tripitaka's horse. On discovering that the horse was tasked with carrying Tripitaka, it assumes the horse's shape to carry the monk on his journey. Later in the story he occasionally assumes human form to assist his new master, although he is still always referred to as 'Horse'. Monkey can also change form, for instance into a hornet. In Episode 3, The Great Journey Begins, Monkey transforms into a girl to trick Pigsy. Monkey's other magic powers include: summoning a cloud upon which he can fly; his use of the magic wishing staff which he can shrink and grow at will and from time to time, when shrunk, store in his ear, and which he uses as a weapon; and the ability to conjure monkey warriors by blowing on hairs plucked from his chest.

The pilgrims face many perils and antagonists both human, such as Emperor Taizong of Tang (太宗皇帝Taisōkōtei) and supernatural. Monkey, Sandy, and Pigsy are often called upon to battle demons, monsters, and bandits, despite Tripitaka's constant call for peace. Many episodes also feature some moral lesson, usually based upon Buddhist and/or Taoist philosophies, which are elucidated by the narrator at the end of various scenes.

Soundtrack[edit]

The songs in the series were performed by the five-piece Japanese band Godiego. In Japan, the first series' ending theme 'Gandhara' (ガンダーラGandāra), which was named after the ancient kingdom of Gandhara, was released by Columbia Music Entertainment on 1 October 1978, backed with 'Celebration'. This was followed by the release of the opening theme 'Monkey Magic' on 25 December 1978, with 'A Fool' on the B-side. Godiego also released the soundtrack album Magic Monkey on 25 October 1978, comprising all of the songs that the band had composed for the first series. The album became one of the group's highest charting releases, staying at #1 on the Oricon chart for a total of eight weeks from January through March 1979 (it was unseated for most of January by the Japanese release of Grease: The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture), and it was ultimately the #1 LP for 1979. For the second series, the ending theme of 'Gandhara' was replaced with 'Holy and Bright', which was released on 1 October 1979 (the two sides of the single featured a Japanese-language version on one side and an English-language version on the other).

In the UK, BBC Records released 'Gandhara' as a single in 1979 (RESL 66), with 'The Birth of the Odyssey' and 'Monkey Magic' on the B-side.^[3] The single reached #56 on the UK Singles Chart, eventually spending a total of seven weeks on the chart.^[4] A second BBC single was released in 1980 (RESL 81), this time featuring an edited version of 'Monkey Magic', along with 'Gandhara' and 'Thank You Baby', but this single failed to chart.^[5] The BBC releases of 'Gandhara' have one verse sung in Japanese and the other in English. BBC Records also released the Magic Monkey album under the simplified title of Monkey (REB 384) in 1980 but it failed to chart.

Masaaki Sakai, who plays Monkey in the series, also performed several of the songs for the series: 'SONGOKU', 'Ima de wa Oso Sugiru' (今では遅すぎる, 'It's Too Late'), 'Kono Michi no Hatemademo' (この道の果てまでも, 'To the End of the Road'), a Japanese version of Godiego's 'Thank You Baby', and '20 Oku Nen no Kurayami' (20億年の暗闇, 'Two Billion Years of Darkness').

Cult appeal[edit]

Monkey is considered a cult classic in countries where it has been shown, reaching as far as South America. Among the features that have contributed to its cult appeal are the theme song, the dubbed dialogue spoken in a variety of over-the-top 'oriental' accents, the reasonably good synchronization of dubbing to the actors' original dialogue, the memorable battles which were for many Western youngsters their first exposure to Asian-style fantasy action sequences, and the fact that the young priest Tripitaka was played by a woman, despite being male.

In 1981, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation debuted the BBC-dubbed Monkey at 6pm on week-nights. Since then, the show has been frequently repeated on the ABC, notably during the contemporary youth TV show Recovery which aired episodes of Monkey weekly from 1996-2000. When Recovery was put on hiatus, it was replaced with three hours of Monkey. The radio station Triple J often made references to Monkey and interviewed the original BBC voice actors on several occasions.

The British folk pop band Monkey Swallows the Universe took their name from an episode of Monkey.
