Monkey: good. Fantasy island: bad.

How so?

I would have preferred the far superior 'Water Margin' combined with 'Space 1999'.
First Episode: Nine Dozen Heroes and one Breakaway.

<list alert> I can see where this is going...
Perhaps 'The Water Margin' and 'The Love Boat' just to keep in the spirit!. </list alert>

The power of Monkey was... Irrepressible!

Top stuff. A while back I came across the book it's based on - an ancient legend (4th century or summink) by a guy called Wu Chen-Eng (I think). It's exactly the same as the TV series - funny and irreverent, but with slightly better dubbing.

Personally, I'd like to see Monkey vs. the A-Team, but that's probably never going to happen. B.A. would never stand for it. "I ain't going back in no time, foo'!"

[lostdog] wouldn't that be "I ain't going back in no time, Kung foo'!"

I stand corrected. Whilst imagining Tripitaka doing that whispery-prayer thing and tightening all the gold chains around B.A.'s neck...

Meanwhile... In steps Tattoo "The pigsy, the Pigsy"

The Face turns and cheats Tripitaka and Murdock into a American Air Force Jet, loaded with the "Sergeant Bosco "B.A." Baracus" heat seeking Golden missile.

Aaaaaaa..towards, yep, Monkey Island Magic !

Which Monkey's flying cloud swiftly counters. (I mis-read "Bosco" as "Roscoe" there. For a second I thought the A-Team were calling in reinforcements from the Dukes of Hazzard.)
-- lostdog, Dec 22 2004


With all his might, B.A yells "I die before I fly" Fool!

Monkey waves his staff , whispers "The eunuch should not take pride in his chastity".

(being Monkey Island Magic, in its true form, the visitors can proceed to live their fantasy as the A-Team)
