I'd like to see a steelcage match between this monkey and that boxing orangutan from Every Which Way But Loose.

ObLibrarian: chimps (and orangutans) are apes, not monkeys. Taxonomically speaking, of course.

I stand corrected, but... dude, if a monkey can do a spinning back kick, I'll call'em anything he wants!

That chimp/monkey/ape (never could tell them apart) probably has more self-discipline and focus than I'll ever had. Hell, back in 5th grade I only got up to white belt... and the have to give you that one.

The sad thing, while this is amusing, it's no more effective than teaching a bear to dance, i.e., it is a series of motions learned by the animal in response to commands, not in any way related to actually knowing a) how to fight or b) the true discipline of a martial art. The best thing that can be said for this is that is it a prime example of Americanized Karate (or Americanized anything from another culture). Then again, if they taught the animal Jet-Kun-Do, he'd probably be levitating while in an oom trance.

Ha, ooops, (finds the actual window to close) pardon me, that was from the count the stars videogame a few threads back, which I still had open in another window. I hadn't put my headphones on until I clicked this movie and accidentally thought it was a midi file attached to the movie. On reflection they do go well together, the kungfu monkey and the Count the stars theme.

Monkeys and midgets make everything funny.

Well shoot. I looked for monkey and karate, but since I popped it off MoFi, I figured it was recent and only checked within the year. Oops.

Galvatron — Fri, 19 Nov 2004 11:45:26 -0800

I wasn't pointing fingers, hughbot; I think it's pretty well accepted that something posted three years ago is fair game. I was just surprised that the karate chimp is going around the internet a second time.

Well shoot. I looked for monkey and karate Well, see, there's the problem: It's not a monkey, it's a chimp. Coming over from Monkeyfilter, you've got too much monkey on the brain. Did you realize that it operates in a way similar to heroin or cocaine? I say we should have bus ads warning people not to spend too much time at Monkeyfilter. It's our only hope.

Is it kung-fu? Looks more like tae kwon do to me.

i counted 14 roundhouse kicks, but i totally missed the people in white shirts passing the basketball around on my first viewing.

I think it's officially called Monk-Fu.

What happens when the army of monkey ninjas turns to "The Dark Side"!! We'll need a better equiped army of Pirate Badgers to take 'em out!! Of course, then we'll need a fleet of flaming, flying sharks-with-laser-beams-on-their-heads to control the badgers...

Maybe the chimp was influenced by video violence such as this? :-)
