Synopsis

Trivia
General
- There are actual Chinese tales about the Monkey King, but in the actual Chinese tales there is already a Monkey King named, Sun Wukong. The most well known story about Sun Wukong is the ancient Classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West, so it is possible the writers of the story made an error or altered the story for the episode.
- This is the second time a villain goes after Kim thanks to a piece of jewelry, but this time she is actually kidnapped.
- This is the second time that Ron overcomes his fear of monkeys long enough to befriend one.
- This is the only time that any of the Monkey Ninjas is revealed to have a name or established gender: Chippy, who is female.
- Part of the cheer practice was recycled from "All the News".
Goofs
- The gaps between the bars in the cage that Monkey Fist put Kim in were large enough for her to simply walk out.
Continuity
- Professor Acari first appeared in "Tick-Tick-Tick".
- The Monkey Ninjas first appeared in "Monkey Ninjas in Space".
Allusions
- The title of this episode is most likely an allusion to the British slang phrase, "the full monty," generally synonymous with the phrase "the whole nine yards".
- Ron shouts "GREAT GOOGLY-MOOGLY!" when he realizes that he's eating insects, which is a catchphrase often associated with Francis Monogram, though this episode aired before Phineas and Ferb debuted.
