A Chinese Odyssey

• A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella (西遊記大結局之仙履奇緣, Journey to the West Grand Finale: Cinderella note  Chinese dub title for Cinderella . Go figure ): Having travelled back in time 500 years thanks to the Moonlight Treasure Box, Joker encounters a woman with the split personalities of Zixia and Qingxia Fairies (Athena Chu), and enters an unwilling relationship with her. He then reunites with Tripitaka (Law Kar-ying) and his other two disciples, but the Bull Demon King (Lu Shuming, i.e. Guan Yu from the 1994 Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series) shows up and captures Tripitaka, with the intention of making a banquet out of the monk's flesh and forcibly making Zixia/Qingxia his concubine. Now, Zhu Bajie (Ng Man-tat) and Sha Wujing must find a way to rescue their master from Bull, while Joker has to contend with whether to continue the relationship between him and Zixia/Qingxia, or take up his true destiny as the Monkey King.

A third film, A Chinese Odyssey: Part Three (大话西游3), was released in China on September 14, 2016. Han Geng replaces Stephen Chow as the Monkey King.

In 2017, the TV series A Chinese Odyssey: Love of Eternity (大话西游之爱你一万年) which further explores and combines all three films was released.

This franchise contains examples of the following tropes:

• Adaptational Heroism : Part 3 introduces the fake Sun Wukong from the original text, the Six-Eared Macaque - due to Joker not being ready to resume the duties of the Journey to the West (having been flung back in time before his sentence was up), the Macaque takes his place in the legend proper.
• Affectionate Parody : Of Journey to the West . At one point, the movie questions why would demons go through great lengths to consume the sought after "divine" flesh of Tripitaka... by having someone pretending to be Tripitaka and naming their child after Tripitaka!
• Trope Maker : started the trend of playing whenever something really epic in a Journey to the West film happens.
• Bait-and-Switch : Joker's second-in-command, who is mind controlled by the Spider Demoness, steal the pouch that seals demons, and bluffs at Joker as the she and Jingjing prepare to whoop their bare asses, only to reveal that he is actually Grandpa Buddha in disguise and then seals the two demons, revealing that the real, mind controlled guy is already caught by him and the bandits.
• Brainwashed : The Spider Demoness hypnotizes Joker's second-in-command to do her bidding, and attempts to sabotage Joker's attempt to seal the two demons by burning the invisibility talismans provided by Grandpa Buddha. Fortunately, Grandpa Buddha manages to catch him being mind controlled by the demons off-screen.
• And while sneaking up on the demons in nothing but (tampered) talismans, Joker's "loincloth" catch fire. And asks for his crew to stomp out the fire on his crotch. And it happens again. But just as Joker has his crotch on fire for the third time, he decides to take off his "loincloth" and just charge at the demons in plain sight.
• When the Monkey King rebels against Tripitaka in the first act and tries to attack Guanyin, she squishes the Monkey King, then wraps him in a leaf and seals him in a vase.
• Any time Joker and his bandit gang takes on the demons . You can tell where is this going.
• And then she commits suicide again after the Spider Demoness forced Joker's second-in-command to lie about their child being Joker's. Joker managed to stop her suicide after multiple attempts of using the Moonlight Treasure Box.
• Played for laughs with one of the Bull Demon King's guards committing suicide out of irritation of Tripitaka's ramblings!
• Earn Your Happy Ending : Albeit also a bittersweet one. After many deaths and one final battle, Joker — fully transformed back into an atoning Monkey King — is transported to a timeline where everyone is living happily, including Zixia and another Joker. After helping the two admit their love for one another, the Monkey King properly begins the Journey to the West, accompanied by a less annoying Tripitaka, and a Zhu Baije and Sha Wujing who are actually friendly to each other.
• Fix Fic : Part 3 is really a straight-up redux of the first two movies, establishing their conclusion as a case of You Can't Fight Fate , then retcons said fate so that the Zixia that dies and the Monkey King that follows Longevity Monk on the quest were both impersonators the whole time, allowing Joker and Zixia to remain together.
• Foreshadowing : Joker has visions of a cave full of monkeys in his dreams. This would eventually hint at his past life being the Monkey King.
• One of the few cases where this trope is weaponized somewhat horrifically : Xiangxiang attempts to uses this technique to imprison Wujing's soul inside a rock , but Wujing managed to grab Xiangxiang just in time to swap minds with each other.
• Xiangxiang does it again in Bull's festival. While Bajie and Wujing managed to get their souls back, but a dog passing by causes Xiangxiang to be stuck in said dog's body, and Qingxia in Xiangxiang's body.
• Game Face / Nightmare Face : The White Bone Demon / Jingjing pulls off this in her demon form.
• Giant Spider : The Spider Demoness can transform into one. However, it's rendered harmless for some reason when one of Joker's goons grab one, yet the other bandits flee in fear from the guy carrying it.
• He Cleans Up Nicely : When Joker declares he will no longer be a bandit and become a scholar after meeting Jingjing, he shaves his beard. Then Jingjing complained that he should have continued being a bandit and keep his beard, causing Joker to try to paste back his beard.
• Hurl It into the Sun : Bull Demon King uses the Iron Fan to lift an entire demon village towards the sun to try to kill the Monkey King.
• Info Dump : When Joker finally finds Jingjing in the past, and winds up spilling everything about her future all at once in 2x speed.
• Invisibility Cloak : The invisibility talismans provided by Grandpa Buddha makes the holder invisible to demons. So Joker and his gang try to sneak up on the two demons... by wearing nothing but the talismans around their crotches (while Joker's second-in-command wears the talismans like a hula dancer) , not realizing that Joker's second-in-command tampered with the talismans as a result of being mind controlled by the demons.
• Ironic Echo : The speech Joker gives Zixia to trick her into believing he loves her so she wouldn't kill him with her sword. The second time was sincere but he was already dead. At the very end, he finally manages to say "I love you" to her but only by possessing the reincarnated Joker and he can no longer be with her . Zixia describes her ideal fated lover as someone who was larger than life and will walk on seven coloured clouds to marry her. As she says herself, she got the beginning description right but not the ending.
• MacGuffin : The Moonlight Treasure Box.
• The Mirror Shows Your True Self : The Magic Mirror given by Grandpa Buddha can reveal demons disguised as humans, as shown by Jingjing's demonic face being shown on the mirror when Joker takes a peek of her reflection. It also reveals what a person was in his past life, with the Joker's second-in-command being revealed to be Bajie in his past life. The Monkey King's face does not appear when Joker looks into the mirror until he travelled back 500 years.
• Mugging the Monster : Joker and his bandit gang takes on the Spider Demoness and Jingjing. The results are predictable .
• Never Found the Body : As Joker arrived with the antidote to heal Jingjing's venom from the Spider Demoness, he assumes that he's arrived too late to save her and caused her to commit suicide to avoid dying from the venom as a result, not realizing that Bull has found her body and resurrected her under his control.
• Never Trust a Trailer : A peacock demon is seen during the trailer for Part Two after the end of Part One. That guy is nowhere to be found in Part Two.
• Once More, with Clarity : Part 3 - Zixia uses the Moonlight Box and sees her eventual death, in the arms of the Monkey King , but the Six-Eared Macaque has been forced to stand in for the Monkey King the whole time, and in the end, it's actually Qingxia who dies in her sister's place.
• Only a Flesh Wound : Joker's second-in-command ignores a dagger wound to his thigh by accident (which he then tries to cover the blood leakage). Then got his thigh slashed by the Spider Woman's blade.
• Trope Maker : A Chinese Odyssey started the trend of playing this whenever something really epic in a Journey to the West film happens.
• This incarnation of Tripitaka being unnecessarily longwinded.
• For a given value of 'gag', every time Joker uses the Moonlight Box to jump back in time to save Jingjing always leads to him reaching her a second too late (in reality, she committed suicide until Joker stopped her suicide attempt after his third time travel attempt) . Every. Single. Time. Alongside his second-in-command's reaction to him using the Moonlight Box. Until an unexplained hiccup causes the Moonlight Box to send him back 500 years instead of the ten or so minutes he was aiming for.
• A passionate moment when Joker and Jingjing start stripping off for sex... and end up taking way too long.
• Playing with Fire : Jingjing. A running gag involves Joker's hand being burned by her flames.
• Rule of Funny : It's a Stephen Chow movie, so of course there will be mo lei tau involved.
• Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer : More like Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film . The peacock demon in the trailer for Part Two doesn't appear in the proper movie at all.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here! : Once the Bull Demon King shows up and wreaks havoc on Joker's lair, the Spider Demoness and Jingjing retreat back to the Spider Web Cave alongside Joker and his second-in-command as their attempts to repel Bull are useless. Grandpa Buddha retreats on the sight of Bull, saying that he's no match for him.
• Split Personality : Zixia/Qingxia Fairy. Zixia's personality shows during the day, while Qingxia's personality shows during nighttime.
• Stable Time Loop : The first two films are self-contained - Joker goes back 500 years to save his girlfriend Bai Jingjing, only to fall in love with Zixia, go through a lot more shenanigans involving the rest of the team and then have an epic showdown with the Bull Demon King to save Zixia and his master.
• Stylistic Suck : Tripitaka is played by Law Kar Ying, a veteran Chinese opera singer - and yet his horrendous rendition of "Only You" reached memetic levels.
• Time Travel : The Moonlight Treasure Box forms the crux of the plot, which combines approximately 500 years of separation from two different points of events. Yeah, time-travel shenanigans.
• The Tooth Hurts : Joker had to knock out one of his teeth with a rock when it gets stuck to the sticky threads of the Spider Demoness.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom : After sealing the Spider Demoness and Jingjing with a magic pouch provided by Grandpa Buddha, Joker's pet dog chews off the strings that keep the pouch closed. Cue the two demons resurfacing...
• Visible Invisibility : Played with. Joker and his goons decide to go naked in nothing but invisibility talismans when they attempt to sneak up on the two demons having dinner, but the two demons are still able to notice them as a result of the talismans being tampered by a mind-controlled second-in-command, so they decide to play along with the goons' "unseen" presence.
• What Happened to the Mouse? : After Xiangxiang mistakenly applied her "Freaky Friday" Flip technique into a dog's body, she (the dog) was never seen again. It's unknown whether she got roasted into a crisp as Bull lifted the entire demon village towards the sun, or she managed to leave the village just in time before Bull lifted the village.

The wacky existentialism of jeffrey lau's "a chinese odyssey".

Jeffrey Lau's A Chinese Odyssey - Part One: Pandora's Box and A Chinese Odyssey - Part Two: Cinderella (2015) are showing August and September on MUBI in the United States.

During the last Golden Age of Hong Kong cinema, the period between the 1984 Joint Declaration and the 1997 Handover, generic cycles moved with lightning rapidity. The speed and sheer volume of production, combined with the relatively small group of creative professionals, meant that a genre could be born, reach its peak, and die out within a few short years. The Heroic Bloodshed cycle, for example, can be said to have started in 1986 with A Better Tomorrow , reached its peak with The Killer and A Better Tomorrow III in 1989, and had its last gonzo gasps in 1992 with Hard-Boiled and Full Contact . By the time of the genre’s decline, Chow Yun-fat’s stardom in the colony had been eclipsed by Stephen Chow, who dominated the next few years of Hong Kong cinema like few stars have at any time, anywhere in the world.

Stephen Chow’s persona defined what became known as the “ mo le tau ” (roughly, “nonsense”) genre, a blend of physical and verbal slapstick characterized by lightning-quick Cantonese puns and egregious breaks with reality. His, and the genre’s, breakthrough came in 1990 with All for the Winner , a parody of a Chow Yun-fat gambling comedy called God of Gamblers (directed by Wong Jing) that had been released a few months earlier to great success. Stephen Chow’s film was an even bigger hit, and so when it came time for Wong to make God of Gamblers II , he combined the characters from both movies: the original and its parody—like if Top Gun II teamed Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer with Charlie Sheen and Valeria Golino’s characters from Hot Shots . The first God of Gamblers came out in December 1989, All for the Winner came out in June 1990, God of Gamblers II in December 1990. There was also The Top Bet , a spin-off of All for the Winner in which Chow had only a cameo, in March 1991 and a God of Gamblers III in August 1991. 1  

But as this mini-gambling cycle played itself out, Chow quickly moved to capitalize on his sudden stardom (after spending most of the 80s working as an extra and as a children’s TV host) with a unprecedented series of box office hits. From 1990 though 1993, he appeared in at least thirty movies, most of them major hits and several now canonical comedy classics ( Fight Back to School, Tricky Brains, Alls Well Ends Well, and the Royal Tramp films among them). Beginning with 1993’s Flirting Scholar he began directing as well, and in the coming years his pace slowed considerably and he rarely worked for other directors again. His last great collaboration with another director was in 1995 with the two-part mo lei tau wuxia A Chinese Odyssey , which reunited him with All for the Winner director Jeffrey Lau. 

Lau began his career as a producer, and it’s in that role that he’s had the greatest impact on Hong Kong cinema, producing New Wave classics like Patrick Tam’s Nomad and Terry Tong’s Coolie Killer along with Sammo Hung’s Eastern Condors . His most fruitful collaboration was been with Wong Kar-wai, for whom he produced Ashes of Time , Chungking Express and Fallen Angels . It was during the famously protracted and well over-budget shooting of Ashes that Lau gathered most of that film’s cast and crew (stars Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, Leslie Cheung, Carina Lau, both Tony Leungs, Joey Wang, Jacky Cheung) and made a parody of the same source novel Ashes was based on, 2 to be released as a quick money-maker during the 1993 Lunar New Year holiday. The Eagle-Shooting Heroes was high-point in the mo lei tau genre in that it featured some of the coolest and sexiest actors in the world, filmed by some of the world’s greatest craftspeople (cinematographer Peter Pau, choreographer Sammo Hung, art director William Chang), acting like complete idiots for one hundred extremely silly minutes. It’s glorious.

Lau would take something of the same approach with A Chinese Odyssey , infusing high production values into a mo lei tau comedy, while at the same time parodying the source material, in this case the story of the Monkey King and Journey to the West . Anticipating the slightly more serious turn Chow would take later in his career, A Chinese Odyssey would have plenty of nonsense slapstick, but it would also take the themes of the novel, the reformation of the Monkey King, bringing him into line with Buddhist orthodoxy, completely seriously. It’s an unexpectedly profound blend of wacky comedy and existential melancholy. It’s the acme of the mo lei tau genre, the high point at which its absurdity becomes elevated to something like a philosophy of life.  

The first half of the film is subtitled Pandora’s Box , and details how, after he rebelled against the monk Xuanzang (the version of the movie I have, a Chinese BluRay which looks good but is poorly subtitled, calls him “the Longevity Monk”) and the goddess Guanyin, the Monkey King was going to be killed but the monk sacrificed himself to save him. 500 years later, a pair of demon sisters (the Spider-Woman and the White-Boned Demon, played by Yammie Lam and Karen Mok, respectively) are searching for the reincarnation of the Monkey King, who is fated to meet the monk again. 3 Stephen Chow plays Joker, unwittingly destined to be the Monkey King, but now the head of a gang of threadbare and dim-witted robbers. The gang and the demons have various run-ins, which usually end with Chow’s groin on fire and its subsequently being stomped on at length. Eventually Joker and the White-Boned Demon (called variously “Boney M” and “Pak Jingjing” in my copy) fall in love, as she’s convinced that he’s the Monkey King in disguise. The Spider-Woman despises him though, because the Monkey broke her sister’s heart 500 years ago. Also a monk, not The Monk, but a different one, shows up as a bowl of grapes and is played by Jeffrey Lau himself. He tries to explain things but doesn’t really help. Eventually everyone is chased by the Bull King to Spider Web cave, where Joker discovers the time-travel device Pandora’s Box and uses it a few times, eventually ending up 500 years in the past.

This is where the first film ends and Part II, called Cinderella , picks up. Joker meets a fairy named Zixia, who has escaped from heaven where she and her sister serve as the wick in Buddha’s lamp (I’m sure that’s a metaphor, but I have no idea what it means). Zixia is in search of her true love, the man who will draw her magic sword from its scabbard. Her sister is less interested in that, but the problem is that the two share the same body: Zixia by day, Qingxia by night (kind of like Brigitte Lin’s character in Ashes of Time ). Chow somehow ends up with Zixia’s sword though, so she falls in love with him, but he just wants to go back to the future to rescue Jingjing. But the Bull King finds him and forces him to marry his sister, Xiang Xiang while he tries to marry Zixia himself, neither of which happens when his wife, Princess Iron Fan (another former flame of the Monkey King) shows up. Somehow Zixia/Qingxia, Pigsy, Sandy, and Xiang Xiang all end up switching bodies for awhile, but eventually Joker realizes he loves Zixia (in a scene parodying Chungking Express ) but is still committed to reuniting with Jingjing, which he does, but the 500 years younger version of her who has no idea who he is. He explains everything as best he can, but eventually realizes that love and other human affairs are just too darn complicated to deal with and renounces all desire and returns to being the Monkey King again, whereupon he saves almost everyone. 

So, in the end, the story amounts to nothing more than a brief detour in the journey to the West. Like most of the other chapters in the novel, the pilgrims are put to the test, their commitment to withdrawing from the world in the name of a greater enlightenment threatened by the greatest temptation the material world has to offer: love. Seen in this light, A Chinese Odyssey , a goofy, dizzyingly lunatic slapstick comedy packed with cheap looking special effects, rubber masks and wildly unrealistic fight scenes is basically a Buddhist Last Temptation of Christ , a fantasy of normal life for a supernormal hero, one that must be sacrificed for the good of humanity.  

This isn’t, with the perspective of twenty more years of Stephen Chow films, as far-fetched a reading as it must have seemed at the time. Chow’s work as a director is more or less all infused with this spiritual sensibility, with his characters in films like The God of Cookery, Shaolin Soccer , and Kung Fu Hustle all ultimately achieving a specifically Buddhist enlightenment through slapstick physical degradation. And his own adaptation of Journey to the West , 2013’s Conquering the Demons , is very much about the renunciation of love as the precondition for spiritual transcendence (though in this case it is the monk who must let go of the woman he loves). 

This kind of weightiness is less apparent in the later work of Jeffrey Lau, although his Chinese Odyssey 2002 is terrific. Unrelated to Journey to the West , it’s a farcical adaptation of the huangmei opera The Kingdom and the Beauty (filmed by Li Han-hsiang in 1959) starring half of the cast of Chungking Express , Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Faye Wong, along with Chang Chen and Vicky Zhao Wei. But like A Chinese Odyssey , it too ends up more moving that it has any right to be: it’s somehow one of the great romantic films of the 21st century. In 2016, Lau released A Chinese Odyssey Part Three , which doesn’t star Chow or any of the major figures of the original film (though Karen Mok makes a brief appearance), but reprises all the roles with new, younger actors. It twists and recapitulates the events of the first two films, with some more dizzying time travel, in an attempt to give everyone the happy ending they deserve, inadvertently revealing that the whole problem was caused in the first place by a clerical error on the part of the Jade Emperor, the absolute ruler of Heaven, which turns the whole series into a kind of allegory about lunatics from Hong Kong being given all the power and resources of a vast and incompetent state and turning the whole world upside down for the sheer anarchic thrill of it all. May they never stop.

1. There were further spin-offs and prequels over the years, including another film called “ God of Gamblers 3 ” that is actually a prequel to the first film but with Leon Lai in the Chow Yun-fat part and the recent From Vegas to Macau series in which Chow Yun-fat returns to Wong Jing’s inane world to make whole a bunch of money.

2. Louis Cha’s Legend of the Condor Heroes . “The Eagle-Shooting Heroes” is the more literal translation of the title.

3. All through the Journey to the West story, the pilgrims are attacked by demons, because they believe that if they eat the monk they’ll gain eternal life. It’s the job of the Monkey King, along with a Pig Demon named Pigsy and a Fish Demon named Sandy, to protect him while he travels to India in search of Buddhist scriptures.

A Westward Journey vs. a Playful Journey: Strategies for the Translation of Cultural Elements in Journey to the West

Journey to the West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature, was published in the mid-16th century during the Ming Dynasty. The first Spanish version of the novel was published in 1992. Later, in 2004, this edition was revised and republished in one volume by Siruela Publishing. In addition to Siruela’s edition, another Spanish translation is available as part of the Library of Chinese Classics in 2010. The most recent Spanish version of Journeyto the West was a 187-page book published by the ChinaZhong publishing of Argentina in 2011. This article discusses translators’ strategies in dealing with cultural differences. It compares the contents length, chapter arrangement of the original work and its translations as well as the translation strategies for cultural elements.

Behind the Lore: Black Myth Wukong's Origins Explained

What's the lore behind Black Myth: Wukong?

Published: Aug 26, 2024, 9:32 Updated: Aug 26, 2024, 6:59

Some audiences may not be familiar with the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West , but there’s a great chance they’ve already been exposed to material inspired by it from anime like Dragon Ball and Gensomaden Saiyuki or movies like The Forbidden Kingdom .

The next big adaptation of the Journey to the West myth is Game Science’s latest title, Black Myth: Wukong. This title promises to take the Journey to the West lore and give it a modern, Elden Ring - inspired twist. With the game's extensive lore, some fans have been asking how faithful the story will be compared to the original novel.

What is the Lore Behind Black Myth: Wukong?

As mentioned, the game is based on one of the ‘great Chinese novels,’ more popularly known to wide audiences as Journey to the West . The novel tells the story of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, who has fantastical powers and tries to go up against the gods.

For daring to defy heaven, Sun Wukong is then imprisoned under a mountain for 500 years until he is freed by the monk Tang Sanzang. They go on a journey with other colorful characters to fetch a set of Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu (what ancient China used to call India) to bring back to China and spread the teachings of Buddhism.

How is Black Myth Different from the Original Story?

When it comes to Black Myth , the story is a sort of sequel to the original Journey to the West . After Sun Wukong finishes his mission with Sanzang, Wukong achieves Buddhahood, but he rejects it, much to the dismay of the Celestial Court, which decides to imprison him again .

The main character of Black Myth , the Destined One , is then tasked by the Monkeys of Mount Huaguo to recover several relics left by the original Sun Wukong in the hopes of being able to release him from his stone prison.

This then leads to the main story of the game, which will have the Destined One going after several relics while at the same time facing some of the mythical enemies that Wukong went up against in the original Journey to the West. Not only will the Destined One face enemies, but he’ll also be meeting familiar allies as well.

Though he isn’t Wukong, the Destined One also has several sets of powers, including shapeshifting into several different animals and turning his hair into clones of himself. He also has incredible strength, can change in size, and can fly on a cloud—essentially everything Goku from Dragon Ball can do.

So far, the game has been getting rave reviews. Besides all the fantastical elements the game has with its lore and story, Black Myth has also been praised for its complicated fighting mechanics, which add a lot of flavor to its soulslike aesthetic.

Black Myth: Wukong is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

What is Black Myth Wukong Based On? Journey to the West Story Explained

Game Science's much anticipated 2024 video game , Black Myth: Wukong , is based on one of the most popular stories in Chinese mythology.

Black Myth: Wukong drops players into a fantastical Asian landscape where they play as an anthropomorphic monkey protagonist, known as the Destined One. Despite an absence of early PS5 reviews , the game has been received favourably on PC, gaining a Metacritic score of 81.

The action RPG draws on the soulslike genre for its gameplay, but for its story it is steeped in the culture and lore presented in one of China's most classic tales, Journey to the West . 

What is the Story of Journey to the West?

Journey to the West was first published in China in the 16th century and has gone on to become one of the most famous and beloved stories in East Asia. 

The story's premise involves the pilgrimage of a monk, Tang Sanzang, as he ventures into the Western Regions to recover sacred Buddhist scriptures, and encounters a series of tests and trials along the way. 

Aiding the monk on his journey are three disciples. Zhu Bajie, simplified to "pig" in English, was an immortal commander who was reborn in the womb of a sow due to an error in the reincarnation wheel and rendered him a pig-human hybrid.

Sha Wujing, translated to "sand", was a celestial who was exiled to the mortal world and made to look like a sandman after he accidentally broke a goblet belonging to the Queen Mother of the West.

Rounding out the trio is Sun Wukong, aka "monkey" or Monkey King, the most famous of the three and the character who holds the most importance for the story of Black Myth: Wukong.

In short, Sun Wukong was a monkey who sought immortality and was taught the 72 heavenly methods of transformation by the Grand Master of Bodhi. 

He was often a mischief-maker amongst those in heaven and stole their immortal prizes in his quest for eternal life. His teachings and expertise in martial arts and magic also made him very powerful and when the deities of heaven attempted to stop him he was able to fight off their 100,000 celestial soldiers. 

The Jade Emperor eventually appealed to the Buddha to subdue him, which resulted in Sun Wukong being sealed in a mountain for 500 years, until he was freed by Sang Tanzang and joined the pilgrimage. 

The Monkey King aids the monk's quest with his iconic staff, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which can be shrunk and enlarged to seismic proportions and weighs 17,550 pounds, which Sun Wukong can handle with ease. 

Journey to the West features 100 chapters, in which Sun Wukong and his companions primarily help to defend Sang Tanzang from a variety of enemies and monsters known as "Yaoguai". 

The story ends with the monk receiving the sacred scriptures from Buddha and the deity providing blessings upon the group, which results in Sun Wukong achieving Buddhahood. 

Journey to the West is a tale that has inspired many adaptations over the years, including the 2009 video game, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West , the popular anime series Dragon Ball and now Black Myth: Wukong.

How Journey to the West is Utilised in Black Myth: Wukong

Black Myth: Wukong comes from Chinese developer Game Science and, as one of the first major AAA games out of China, it seems fitting the team chose to adapt one of the nation's most popular myths. Some reviewers have even described the game as "the God of War for Chinese mythology". 

However, Black Myth: Wukong doesn't do a simple copy-and-paste job of Journey to the West . Instead, the story takes place after the events of the novel, following what happens to Sun Wukong after he achieved enlightenment.

In this narrative, Sun Wukong rejects immortality, which angers the Celestial Court and leads to the Monkey King being defeated and sealed in stone. 

Before his demise, Sun Wukong splits his power into six relics which are hidden across China and players, as the Destined One, are tasked with recovering these items in an effort to free the legendary character.

Spread across six chapters, Black Myth: Wukong takes players on a journey where they encounter, recruit and battle many of the same characters from Journey to the West , such as Zhu Bajie, Yellow Wind Sage, Black Bear Guai and the Bull Demon King. 

Similar to the Monkey King, the Destined One also wields a size-changing staff like Ruyi Jingu Bang and has the ability to cast spells and shapeshift into different beings. 

So, while Black Myth: Wukong isn't an exact adaptation of Journey to the West , it is useful to know the basics of the classic story to get a more rounded understanding of what is happening in the game.

Black Myth: Wukong is available to play now on PC and PS5 .

The Journey to the West is a classical Chinese novel about the historic journey of a monk (“Tang Seng”) to find the true word of Buddha in India in 635 CE. It is culturally important across East Asia, and also in the Brunt family because the adventures of the Monkey King (a key character) motivate the children to learn Mandarin. Hence, the family sets out to retrace the monk’s journey across China, visiting some incredible cultural sites along the way. Starting in Ningxia, where the Western Xia dynasty was overrun by Genghis Khan prior to the total conquest of China, this letter offers an account of the first part of the journey.

• 9 movies like Black Myth: Wukong to continue your journey to the west

There are more than a few cool movies based on Journey to the West

by Austen Goslin and Pete Volk

If you buy something from a Polygon link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

Few stories in the history of the world are as famous or have been told as many times as the tale of Sun Wukong. In fact, a new adaptation of the story, Black Myth: Wukong , is currently taking the world by storm, racking up record-breaking numbers on Steam . The game is a gorgeous retelling of the Chinese legend, complete with some of the best action-RPG gameplay of the year so far. But if playing the game has left you curious about the other ways this particular legend has been told, there are plenty of movies that fit the bill.

We’ve collected a list of some of the best retellings of the Sun Wukong legend, as well as a few other movies that make a perfect thematic match for Black Myth, so you can stay in this legendary world long after you’ve finished the game.

For more movies with mythical fantasy vibes, check out our list of movies like Elden Ring . And for more adaptations of Chinese folklore, check out our list of donghua to watch — many are based on Chinese mythic tales.

Monkey King: Hero is Back

What it is: A crowdfunded animated movie that became China’s highest-grossing animated film of 2015, Hero is Back follows Sun Wukong’s fall from power and his road trip with a child monk obsessed with the monkey king’s famous feats.

Where to watch it: Free with a library card on Hoopla, free with ads on Tubi, or for digital rental/purchase on Amazon

A Chinese Odyssey

What it is: The great action-comedy star Stephen Chow gets his turn at Sun Wukong in this loose adaptation of Journey to the West . It’s a two-parter – Pandora’s Box and Cinderella , followed by a much delayed Part Three in 2016.

Where to watch it: Netflix, for free with ads on Tubi or Plex, or for digital purchase on Amazon

Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

What it is: Chow wasn’t content with just one Journey to the West adaptation – after starring in A Chinese Odyssey , he directed Conquering the Demons and it’s sequel, The Demons Strike Back . As usual for Chow’s movies, it balances slapstick humor and big set pieces for an entertaining time.

Where to watch it: Prime Video, for free with a library card on Kanopy, free with ads on Tubi and Pluto TV, or for digital rental/purchase on Amazon and Apple

The Monkey King 1-3

What it is: Director Soi Cheang’s ( SPL 2: A Time for Consequences; Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In ) trilogy of Sun Wukong movies. The first stars Donnie Yen, while the latter two star Aaron Kwok. The first one isn’t Cheang’s best work, but they are high budget modern adaptations of the story and the series gets better as it goes along.

Where to watch it: Free with a library card on Hoopla, free with ads on Tubi and Plex, or for digital rental or purchase on Apple and Amazon. The Monkey King 2 and 3 are both on Prime Video.

The Forbidden Kingdom

What it is: The rare “Hollywood wuxia,” Forbidden Kingdom stars Jet Li as the Monkey King and Jackie Chan as Lu Yan. It is also primarily about a kid from Boston who is obsessed with Journey to the West and wuxia, so your mileage may vary.

Where to watch it: For free with ads on Pluto TV and Freevee, or available to rent on Amazon and Apple

What it is: Adapted from a different 16th-century Chinese novel, Ne Zha was a smash hit at the Chinese box office and spawned a sequel, Legend of Deification . The movie follows a boy with great powers who is the feared protector of his community, and features stunning action sequences.

Where to watch it: Free with a library card on Hoopla, free with ads on Plex, or for digital rental/purchase on Amazon and Apple

New Gods: Nezha Reborn

What it is: A more modern adaptation of the Nezha story, this one sees the mythic figure reborn as a motorbike-riding rebel.

Where to watch it: Netflix

A Writer’s Odyssey

What it is: A 2021 Chinese fantasy action-adventure about a writer whose fantasy novel seems to be having a mysterious impact on the real world, and the man who has been sent to kill him.

Where to watch it: Streaming on iQiyi, free with ads on FreeVee and Tubi, or available to rent on Google Play and Amazon .

Dragon Ball

What it is: It’s Dragon Ball , duh. But it’s an excuse to say Son Goku is based on Sun Wukong.

Where to watch it: Hulu, Crunchyroll

The Black Myth: Wukong map mod is here to make your Journey to the West a little easier

Literally, now you can see which way is west.

Black Myth: Wukong has officially blown the doors off Steam, both by racking up massive player counts and receiving "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews from players. (For the record, we really liked it too .)

But just because a game is great doesn't mean there aren't ways to improve it. The moment it launched, modders began monkeying around with the monkey game's innards, and one mod has quickly risen to the top of the popularity pile—because it adds a map.

Simply called Simple Map , the mod gives you a big ol' map of the world, lets you open it fullscreen, change the camera view, zoom in and out, and scroll around. You can also tap a key to display nearby resources, and naturally your own location is shown with an icon as well. 

Full disclosure: I haven't played Black Myth: Wukong yet, or even watched someone else play it on a stream, so I can't really say if it's a game that cries out for a map or not. The mod has over 30,000 downloads, so "maybe" is about the only conclusion I can come to. In the interest of due diligence, however, I asked my coworkers who have played it whether or not a map is something that would benefit the game. Here's what they said.

Wesley "Wes" Fenlon : "Not having a map has definitely left me wondering if I've missed any significant side paths—even in the first stage, it's quite easy to skip over one of the first bosses (and major power-ups) you're supposed to get if you're in a hurry. The environments are very pretty, but not very interesting to navigate more than once because there's very little to actually interact with. That's discouraged me from going back and running through them multiple times without having a map to orient myself with."

Tyler "Tyler Colp" Colp : "A map would only be nice if it could help you track sidequests or secrets to return to because this game does have a bit of the souls thing where NPCs move around and you have to find them. Otherwise, you don't really need a map to get through each area because the paths don't fork in that many directions and you aren't getting sidetracked by some cave like in Elden Ring. I think a map might help people who are terrible at finding where, say, the next boss is, but I don't think it would make the game considerably better or anything."

There you have it. And in case you're wondering, the reason Tyler "Tyler Colp" Colp's nickname is "Tyler Colp" is because we have two Tylers at PC Gamer so we have to refer to them by their full names.

You don’t want to miss Mark Patinkin’s new book

Mark patinkin’s new book, “the holy land at war: a journey through israel, the west bank and gaza,” details his on-the-ground experience covering the war, and revisits his first experience covering the region in the early 1990s..

It has been more than 10 months since Hamas led a terrorist attack on Israel that killed more than 1,000 people, and the resulting war has left more than 40,000 Palestinians dead.

Now Mark Patinkin from The Providence Journal has a new book out called, “The Holy Land at War: A Journey Through Israel, the West Bank and Gaza,” that details his on-the-ground experience covering the war and revisits his first experience covering the region in the early 1990s.

You can buy Patinkin’s book on Amazon here, and below is a quick Q&A about the book.

Q: I’ve read your columns for a long time, but I didn’t realize how much foreign reporting experience you’ve had in your career. What was different about your experience this time around compared to your coverage in Africa or Northern Ireland?

Advertisement

Patinkin: I always wished I could have gone back years later to places like Africa to find the folks I wrote about, and I was able to do that as part of this book — on top of covering the current war. Back in 1991, during the first intifada, I did a similar trip including a ride-along in Gaza in an Israeli patrol Jeep bombarded by rocks and driven by a 30ish commander. For “The Holy Land at War,” I found and re-interviewed him at age 68. The same with a young Palestinian humanitarian worker I met in Gaza in 1991 — I found her again today in her 50s, displaced and living in a tent. And many others. Their stories helped me understand the conflict — and in a way, Middle East history.

Q: In the very first chapter of your book, you acknowledge that you took a ton of heat for some of your early columns following the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Do you have any regrets about anything you wrote?

Patinkin: No — a columnist’s job is to express your viewpoint, which often draws fire — in that case, I had the honor of being called a “disgrace to humanity” by a Providence city councilman. But you know, every Tweet on this war is armchair commentary, and as a journalist, I realized my highest mission was to just… go. Go to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza and bring readers with me through reporting on the ground instead of opinion.

Q: You revisited some of your reporting from a 1991 trip to Israel and Gaza, and you note that in some ways, time has stood still. What would you say were the biggest changes you noticed?

Patinkin: The biggest change, Dan, is that things haven’t changed. Jews and Palestinians are still in the same dance — and standoff. On this trip, I went to a kibbutz at the Oct. 7 ground zero and interviewed survivors — lifelong Jewish peaceniks who now doubt a two-state solution is possible. On the West Bank, a Palestinian teacher who showed me around pointed to encroaching Jewish settlements, saying in Arabic, “Shway, shway,”— little bit, little bit. That’s how they’re spreading. Those were two of many human glimpses in the book of the deeper-than-ever divide there.

Q: What do you want readers to take away from your book?

Patinkin: I think we best feel world events through the stories of people living through them. That’s why I spent a day in Ramallah with Aboud, the childhood best friend of the Palestinian Brown University student who was tragically shot and paralyzed in Burlington, Vt., last Thanksgiving . Aboud is just a great young man, proud of his culture, and heartbroken by the oppression. I also talked to a Jewish teen boy who survived Oct. 7 hiding under the slain body of his mother between a bed and wall as Hamas militants roamed his house, shooting. On another day, I rode with IDF soldiers in a Humvee through Gaza with explosions so close the smoke went over us 20 seconds later. My hope, as I said, is that readers will feel they were right next to me on this whole journey.

Q: What’s next for Mark Patinkin? Any other book ideas on the horizon?

Patinkin: You know, I had kidney cancer four years ago, and was finishing a book about that — through the eyes of my caregivers, from the ultrasound tech who found the tumor to the amazing Providence surgeon who removed it under difficult circumstances. Then came Oct. 7 and the war, so I put that on hold to write this current book, which I self-published to get it out quickly, a huge learning experience. Right now, I’m realizing that every book sold — even a single one — helps keep it on radar. So when I get messages from folks saying they’ve bought the book, you want to take their hand and thank them personally.
