Title: Some 80s Pulp Insperation
Post by: Rhoderic on January 14, 2008, 02:48:59 AM: I was just thinking about this show the other day! Which reminds me, I was going to ask you guys about this: I looked up this show and it's rival series Bring 'Em Back Alive (for which I can only find the Spanish Opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL39vTtHtY4) on Youtube) on Wikipedia, and both articles seem to suggest there were more shows like these, made in the early 80's to capitalize on the success of Raiders of the Lost Ark. But they don't mention what these other shows were. So, were there more shows, or is Wikipedia just being obtuse?

I was amused to see that the Gold Monkey's clergyman was played by an actor called "John Calvin"!

I was just a kid when Raiders of the Lost Ark and then Golden Monkey came out; a good time for my mind to get "Pulp" ingrained into it :)

Now listen, Youtube´s a different kettle of fish, but the last link is certainly illegal, given Disney´s IP procedures; that might get us into trouble. Please edit it out ASAP.
