(4) K-3 The Monkey King steals forbidden fruit from the immortal peach tree, flies to what he believes is the end of the world (it's really Buddha's hand), and fans the flames of a fire at a temple, creating chaos. Because these and other episodes from the Chinese epic Journey to the West have been compressed, the narrative is frayed and rather jumbled. However, Young's dramatic collages effectively capture mischievous Monkey's adventures.
