Douglas Mann Movies
Chimera was originally produced for Britain's BBC television network. The title creature is a half man, half ape (Douglas Mann), the product of a hush-hush government project. Journalist John Lynch gets wind of the experiment when his girlfriend dies in a fertility clinic explosion. At the center of things is a mad-as-a-hatter scientist, whom the government continues to protect until it's almost Too Late. Christine Kavanaugh costars in this new twist on the old Frankenstein story. Chimera premiered in the US over the A&E Cable service on November 1, 1992. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Re-titled for American release, Monkey Boy is actually an edited version of Lawrence Clark's British production Chimera, about a half-human, half-ape creature who plots a murderous plan of escape from the genetics lab that gave him life. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
