“Iron Monkey” Theatrical Poster
Get your rusty gears on for Iron Monkey, the third actioner from director/martial arts star Yue Song (King of the Streets, Super Bodyguard aka Iron Protector) with a cast that includes frequent co-star Jiang Baocheng (Wrath of Vajra).
In Iron Monkey, Yue Song plays the role of “Thunder”, a lone, wandering warrior (you know, sorta like Mad Max or Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star) who takes on evil organization in a post-apocalyptic setting. The film obviously has no connection to previous, similarly titled films, such as 1977’s Iron Monkey, 1993’s Iron Monkey or 1996’s Iron Monkey.
Given their track record on releasing Yue Song movies (King of the Streets, Iron Protector), there’s a possibility Well Go USA will pick this one up. Until then, the film releases domestically on June 18, 2020.
Take a peak at the Trailer for Iron Monkey below (via AFS):
I’d joke about how there’s already an Iron Monkey, but more films share that title than just Woo Ping’s.

The following statement may make me lose any final dregs of credibility I have left, but what the hell, I may be Yue Song’s biggest fan. Bring this on!
No shame in that ^^. Frankly, if Yue Song had emerged in 80s Hong Kong rather than 2010s China, I’m sure he’d be a household name.
Still, I think it would help his career if he agreed to appear in other people’s films.
Count me in! He, Xing Yu, and Phillip Ng May not be the most charismatic or star studded performers, but I like seeing them perform!
Love how he’s doing his best to make a name for himself. Looks like step up from Super Bodyguard, which had some stunning moments but was overall very very flawed. Still a B-movie but aren’t most of these things?
It looks better than every chinese big budget actioner of the last 5 years. I wonder if its a web movie or if it’s gonna be released in cinemas. I guess it’s the former.
This other poster for the film definitely spells out “web movie”.
