Frequently Asked Questions

What is Iron Monkey about? Toggle content

In 19th-century China, a masked martial artist known as Iron Monkey (Yu Rongguang) robs from the rich to give to the poor, but his heroics are threatened when a ruthless governor (James Wong) and a traitorous Shaolin monk (Hin-hung) team up to stop him. Wong Kei-ying (Donnie Yen), a physician and martial artist, is mistaken for Iron Monkey and forced to help the governor capture him. As the battle between Iron Monkey and the governor's forces intensifies, Wong Kei-ying must decide where his loyalties lie and join forces with Iron Monkey to defeat the corrupt officials and protect the people. With stunning fight choreography and a classic story of courage, honor, and sacrifice, Iron Monkey is a thrilling and entertaining Hong Kong variation of Robin Hood.
