I remember Monkey chasing Pigsy in a "cloud battle" and at one point, I think their clouds even flew upwards at a 90 degree angle! Also, does anyone remember that episode where Monkey lost his memory and his magic powers?

I've spoken to someone about this, and he reckons that the cloud fight *is* with Pigsy, and Pigsy has his own cloud! But Pigsy's cloud is "an old banger" - it doesn't go very smoothly, and makes lots of spluttering noises - typically Pigsy.

But Pigsy's >cloud is "an old banger" - it doesn't go very smoothly, and makes lots >of spluttering noises - typically Pigsy. The machine gun fight wasn't with Pigsy it was in an episode in the third series. Pigsy's 'borrowed' cloud (in the episode 'Outrageous coincidences') was a kind of motorbike affair and, as you say, not a well tuned one!! Speaking of clouds there are some good episodes in the third series after all. There was a really good one last night where a frog demon flies off on his own personal frog cloud and then Monkey and the frog have an absolutely hilarious fight in the clouds. The frog demon turns into a giant frog and Monkey turns into a giant slug. The frog addresses him as 'slimy simian' at this point! >Didn't Monkey once fight a kid on a tricycle cloud? Yes this was a really good dinky car cloud with sparkly paddles on the side operated by a young goblin. The goblin had to pedal really hard to go at a slow pace!! >Yes, I remember that episode.

What he does is take the mushroom in tow behind his own cloud and tie a couple of demons to it and then proceed to fly over the landscape and volcanoes to teach these demons a lesson! You can tell I've been watching all the episodes on Galaxy! Unfortunately they finish this friday (damn!).

Cheesey, or what? Yes, it was very funny - he had it in his jacket and was stroking it - his expression when a bit came off was perfect. The concept of his cloud shrinking in itself was a pretty bizarre one!

I don't know if this is really a blooper, but in the (ithink) second episode of the first series, monky is banging on a door which a demon has hidden inside a cave behind to keep away from monkey who, as always want a bit of a fight. monkey starts insulting the demon through the door, yelling a few things like "coward" etc... and one of the insults he used was "poofter", I wonder if the japanese version said this? i also wonder if this would be said now? it probably wouldn't. Does anyone know any other times monkey was politically _in_correct like this. When i watched it it was a bit of shock to hear and it really stood out.

This is true. I'm not sure what the Japanese insult was. It showed recently on Foxtel/Galaxy and he said "poofter" there as well. I'm positive he said it the last time the ABC screened it.
