Following the mothballing of a secret US Government Experiment, an incompetent Janitor, Walter, accidentally unleashes a platoon of military trained – and very angry - monkeys from an animal containment lab run by the sadistic Dr. Orkenstein. Mayhem ensues and soon Walter and a platoon of elite soldiers sent in to control the situation, are in a race for their lives against an enemy that really is superior in every way.

Killing people
With guns
Best idea ever!
>) War mongering monkeys with superior fighting skills? A janitor turned hero? Just throw in some poop throwing, big booms, and mangled body parts(not necessarily in that order) and I am soooo in!!!
sounds nice and finally its not a remake
EVERYTHING is better with monkeys. Give them guns, and I'm hoping the Academy gives then an Oscar for Best Screenplay.
Sounds crazy, but its better than most of the shit Hollywood is making now. Can't wait!
It would definitely get my vote!
sounds different!but good
The potser got me. War Monkeys? With guns? Sweet.
Sammo Hung! Hell Yeah!
