Comparisons to the first gigantic gorilla are not wholly inappropriate, as Mighty Joe Young was a reunion of sorts for many of the folks involved with King Kong.

 Metroactive Movies | Mighty Peking Man
In Hong Kong, the gorilla is welcomed as "Mighty Peking Man" and immediately clapped in irons and forced to perform in a tractor pull for a crowd of jeering, fruit-throwing spectators.
It can, therefore, be seen that although Mighty Peking Man is an eerie wildlife and disaster movie, the director has not confined himself solely to creating fantasy.
The logical sequence of retributive cause is convincing." Hell, it convinced audiences for both versions of King Kong, though the last shot of this gloriously kitschy cult film is sad and inspired: a night cityscape seen through a hole in a ruined skyscraper.

They steal so many things from King Kong that I can't even go over the list, there are official remakes that have less in common with their original film than Peking Man does with King Kong.

This animated musical remake of the 1933 classic King Kong is definitely for the younger crowd, who will appreciate the tuneful but generic score by Richard and Robert Sherman (better known for Mary Poppins and other Disney scores) and won't get upset by the happy ending.
A stupefyingly awful animated version of King Kong (which means it is still better than the live-action remake of the 70's, all copies of which should be confiscated and burned.).
Stunned by her beauty and kindness,Kong is unable to defend himself and is captured.The greedy producer decides to bring Kong back to New York City in chains,but not even chains can contain THE MIGHTY KONG.Finally,all of New York is up to Ann to subdue the savage beast and save New York City.

The crew races to the island in pursuit and gets there in time to see Kong, a giant ape, pick Ann up in his hand and take her into the jungle.
Jack goes on his own through a cavern to the island's interior to head off Kong and try and rescue Ann, while C.B. and Roscoe follow to try to capture Kong on film, an effort consistently undercut by Roscoe's clumsiness.
After a series of misadventures on the streets of New York, Kong finds Ann and climbs with her to the top of the Empire State Building only to get knocked off by a pair of dirigibles trying to snare him in a net.

In fact she became a soulmate to the Mighty Peking Man after her parents died in a plane crash when she was a child; she then introduces our hero to the giant ape, who is a bit uncomfortable when he spies his little blonde woman making the beast with two backs with Lee.
Pretty soon it's back to Kong territory as the ape is packed up for the big city, where he doesn't take very well to all the big buildings and loud noises.
A thoroughly loony movie, The Mighty Peking Man is nowhere near being good in any cinematic category at all.

 The Mighty Peking Man
Produced in Hong Kong by Shaw Brothers, famous for their martial arts epics, this is a nutty variation (AKA rip-off) of KING KONG, released a year after Dino De Laurentiis' Hollywood remake.
Although it was by no means a smash, this action packed 90 minute programmer proved to be a warm-welcomed popcorn movie that is far more enticing than big budget rubbish like our own GODZILLA remake.
In the first few minutes, giant elephants trample members of the hunting party, one guy has his leg bitten off by a tiger, and a bunch more fall to their deaths from a mountain cliff.
