More photos of the Flying Monkeys from the movie "The Wiz", I give you the AC Flying Monkeys











end credits say these were Suzukis!

In this scene where she calls the Flying Monkeys, the leader Cheetah says to her "What's Happening!!"

He is breaking the fourth wall there, because the queen is played by Mabel King who starred as Mabel 'Mama' Thomas in the 1970's sitcom What's Happening.

 I wonder if Harry Madsen the actor who played Cheetah improvised that or if that was really in the script. I get the feeling he improvised that.

    1. No idea, there just isn't enough screen time to get a clear look at the bikes

    1. I don't know, but i bet that it must have been explained in the movie... the queen they wor for may have named her city something that starts with the letter A, like "awesome city"
      for example, so, they might be the Awesome City Flying Monkeys, for example. If you look online and learn what the AC stands for, let me know please!
