The story of Ming Ling Shur, a girl who was raised by apes and thus has a natural ability with monkey kung fu. She grows up and falls for a prince who is really an evil kung fu master, who exploits her abilities for his own gain.
Directed by Chen Chi-Hwa, The Ape Girl leans on a strong ensemble — Chan Sing, Lo Lieh, Miao Tian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1979.
