    Editorial Reviews

    The two-part TV miniseries The Lost Empire was loosely based upon Chang-En Wu's classic 16th century Chinese novel, His Yu Chi (Journey to the West). Updated to the present, the series was set in motion when American journalist Nick Orton (Thomas Gibson) agreed to track down the lost manuscript of Chang-En Wu's masterpiece, which had fallen into the proverbial wrong hands. Accompanied by a curious collection of mythical creatures, including the Monkey King (Russell Wong), a piglike human and a former cannibal, Nick found himself fighting evil and sorcery at every turn, secure in the knowledge that he would win the love of Kwan Ying (Bai Ling), the Goddess of Mercy, if he successfully completed his mission. Filmed partially in Prague by Hallmark Entertainment, The Lost Empire (later released to video as a 132-minute feature titled The Monkey King) was broadcast by NBC on March 11 and 12, 2001.

    December 31, 2005: I saw the movie when it first premiered, and then read 'Journey to the West', Arthur Whaley translation. The script picks up where the book leaves off, and is an excellent follow-up, especially for those who, like me, fall in love with worlds and characters and can't bear to have the story end. The actors are good, especially Russell Wong as the Monkey King. It's got plenty of action, a lot of imagination, tons of laughs, and a little bit of romance thrown in for balance.

    October 08, 2002: This movie follows the book very closely. And, it brings to life one of the classic chinese novels of all time. I really enjoyed this film.
