Trivia:
Made with an ensemble cast and on low budget. Sets are clearly recycled from episode to episode, and the supporting cast can be the King one episode, a demon the next, and a gambler in the one after that. moreQuotes:

This show was the best! I used to love the craziness of it.
I remember the pilot episode( i have it on video somewhere) where monkey went to heaven to "kick off" with the Jade emperor was a hoot!
especially when monkey meets the dragon kings daughter to claim his weapon (the magic wishing staff).
Dragon kings daughter calls monkey a "passionate Primate" and tells monkey to make his stick "grow Big!".
An absolute classic. A must see!.
