Guest Cougar Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Re: Tales Of The Gold Monkey They were pretty clueless for not knowing that the priest with the german accent was a Nazi spy. Ah, but his cover was that he was Dutch. Guess the accents were supposed to be close enough to cover it. PDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithcurtis Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Re: Tales Of The Gold Monkey I just thought he was creepy for taking all those "confessions" from beautiful native girls. Nazi spy? Why did they ever believe the guy was a minister? Keith "Loved the show" Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they ever believe the guy was a minister? C'mon, that was probably the most effective part of his cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazhoul Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Re: Tales Of The Gold Monkey One or two people have recommended to me an early 80s TV series set in 1938' date=' [i']Tales Of The Gold Monkey.[/i] Unfortunately it only seems to be available in bootleg DVD form from http://www.goldmonkey.com as far as I can tell from a simple search. Before I search harder I thought I'd ask for further input on whether (a) it's fun to watch, and ( it's good Pulp stuff. From what I can remember of the show the answer is yes to both questions. I'm going to have to look into getting those DVD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Re: Tales Of The Gold Monkey According to the website, everyone knew he was a German spy; they just played along with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: Tales Of The Gold Monkey And besides, he wasn't very fanatic about being a Nazi spy. He was basically just a horndog who had found a ready source of willing women. He reluctantly did "spy stuff" for fear of being recalled, IIRC. Yes, it was a great show, and would make a good pulp campaign. The first ep (and where the series got its name) had the protagonists racing a band of nazies looking for a super metal that was immune to heat damage. They fought past giant oranutangs, braved lava flows, and found only a small plain brass monkey idol (which was kept as a suveneer). The Germans left in disgust... Then the closing credits showed the golden orangutans sitting in their active vocano home, idly brushing off flecks of hot magma...
