Monkey Kung Fu in the Media
Monkey kung fu is very popular in the media. From animations, music videos, movies, games,
and books, it's amazing that the actual artform is so rare. Here is a list of just some of Monkeys in the media.

Master Monkey	In 2008, Dreamworks came out with a monster hit, Kung Fu Panda. One of the principal characters was Master Monkey. The voice of Master Monkey was by two individuals, Jackie Chan and his son Jaycee Chan. The monkey was a Golden Langur and he used a staff. Master Monkey was part of the Furious Five all trained by Shifu. The Five pays homages to the Crane, Snake, Monkey, Mantis and Tiger styles of Chinese Kung Fu.
Monkey King	Martial Arts film star Jet Li portrays the role of Sun Wu Kung, the Monkey King in the 2008 American martial arts action film, The Forbidden Kingdom. Written by my pal John Fusco, it's the first film that stars two of the great martial arts icons, Jackie Chan and Jet Li. The film was a blockbuster success!
Monkey Fist	Voiced by Tom Kane, Monkey Fist is one of the evil guys on the Disney television cartoon series Kim Possible. The Monkey Fist character was born Lord Monty Fiske, a British nobleman and world famous explorer and archaeologist, who became obsessed with monkeys. After training to become a master of Tai Sheng Pek Kwar (Monkey Kung Fu), he also spent his family's fortune on radical genetic procedures and experimental surgeries to replace his hands and feet with those of a monkey. Many say that Monkey Fist was patterned after Monkey Master Michael Matsuda.
Monkey Man	Released in 2004, 6th Generation Monkey Kung Fu Master Michael Matsuda was selected to portray the co-starring role of the Monkey Man in the film Sci-Fighter (later called X-Treme Fighter). Also starring Cynthia Rothrock, Lorenzo Lamas and Don Wilson, Monkey Man jumps from the trees to combat his opponents. Of all the evil characters, the Monkey Man is the only one who survives and even captures the son of the hero. The film was directed by Art Camacho and released by Gorilla Pictures.
Monkey King	In 2001, a television movie called The Lost Empire was released starring Russell Wong as the Monkey King. Russell Wong has formidable martial arts skills as this loosely based story of Cheng-En Wu's enduring 16th century story of Journey to the West.
Monkey King	Guys, I'm not sure how to explain this. It's either an opera, a musical, an album or an animation. It's got me confused but it looks great. I believe it's put on by the Gorillaz group. It's called Monkey: Journey to the West. You might want to check out their website and let me know WEBSITE
