Description:
Journey to the West comes to the big screen like never before in the 2007 film Saiyuuki! Also known as 'Monkey Magic', this is the latest in a long line of adaptations of the Wu Cheng'en tome.
One of the four great Chinese classics, Journey to the West, or Saiyuuki in Japanese, is about the adventures of Tang Dynasty monk Tripitaka and his mischievous magical disciples as they journey to India to retrieve the Buddhist sutras.
This fantastical allegorical tale has been adapted countless times for the big and small screen, notably in classic Chinese films like Ho Meng Hua's 'The Monkey Goes West' series and Stephen Chow's 'The Chinese Odyssey' series. In Japan, Saiyuuki also inspired many adaptations including the anime series Dragonball and an immensely popular TV series in 1978.
Helmed by TV director Sawada Kensaku, feature film Saiyuuki brings back the same cast from the smash hit Fuji TV drama and delivers the same zany humor and fast-paced action audiences have come to expect from the series. The manic comic powers of Katori Shingo (Nin x Nin) show no signs of abating as the gang of four takes their journey to the silver screen.
This time, they encounter a princess whose parents have been turned into turtles by two powerful demons, played by Kaga Takeshi (Death Note) and Kishitani Goro (Ryu ga Gotoku). Never willing to pass up a good adventure, the foursome head to the mystical mountains to pick a fight.
