1. The Monkey King (2014) Sun Wukong, (The Monkey King) is a monkey born from a heavenly stone who acquires supernatural powers. After rebelling against heaven and being imprisoned under a mountain for 500 years, he later accompanies the monk Xuanzang on a journey to India. Thus, according to legend, Buddhism is brought to ancient China. This much beloved story, is as much a part of Asian culture as The Iliad and The Odyssey or The Wizard of Oz are to the West. This first installment in a trilogy of live action 3-D movies is actually a prequel to The Journey To The West, the much told story of the Monkey Kings adventures on the road to India. The Monkey King: Havoc In The Heavenly Palace will be released in the U.S. as The Monkey King. The first movie is the origins story -- beginning with the birth of Sun Wukong and ending with his imprisonment for his crimes under the Five-Peaked Mountain. Along the way he acquires incredible powers, battling the armies of the gods and the armies of the demons to find his rightful place in the Heavens. It is a classic story of the scorned underdog who acquires great abilities but uses them recklessly and ultimately must pay a huge price to find redemption. The Monkey King captures the drama, beauty, humor and fantastic action of the folk legend and brings it to the screen in a way never before possible.
2.The Monkey King 2 500 years after the havoc in heaven, Xuanzang, the Tang Priest, is appointed by the Buddha to go to the West to Fetch the Buddhist scriptures. By accident, Xuangzang undoes the Buddha?s spell on Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. Wukong brought under control by a gold hoop given by the Mercy Goddess. He has no choice but to accept the mission to escort Xuanzang to the Wes. Despite his reluctance, Wukong cuts paths all the way and dutifully helps to subdue Bajie and Sha. But the hoop on this head, effective with his master?s restrictive incantation, always remains a vexation for Wukong.
Lady White Bone Spirit from the White Tiger Ridge aims to kill and eat Xuanzang?s golden body for evading her doom of reincarnation from a demon to any other creature. After dealing with the four, White Bone spirit has an insight into the barrier between Wukong and Xuanzang. So she designs traps to foment discord between them. Humiliated mistakenly, Wukong still fights on with both strength and wit. But Xuanzang can?t see through the real identity of White Bone, and their relationship is thus broken off as she planned...
