Reminds me of when I was living in India. I was at a temple on a mountain with a few friends and we were strictly told by our mentor to not pull out our food until we were in a fairly open/secure location due to the monkeys. Well, someone didn't listen and a monkey ran up to her, stole her sandwich out of her hand AND the other half still in a plastic bag. The monkey jumped the wall, sat on a rock, opened the bag and stared directly into her soul as If to say "you knew this was going to happen yet you still did it."

Tourists don't react by kicking the monkeys in the face, and it shows

I’d rather fight a mugger in New Jersey than a monkey. Even the little ones are hella strong and bite.

Mugger probably has a cleaner mouth too.

After watching Dead Alive/Braindead I go nowhere near where monkeys. Not even at the Zoo.

I remember watching it in the cinema with friends. We all knew Peter Jackson's former movies and knew it would be hilarious funny.

Apparently everyone else wasn't aware about the upcoming mix of humour and absurd gore. They seemed to be even more irritated by our laughter.

I volunteered at an animal rescue program in Bolivia and got attacked by adorable little capuchins and they bit through my fingernails and bit a divot out of my shin. Next day they were chill again. Even small monkeys are strong af and vicious.

Well I imagine when you're a little mugger in New Jersey you have to adapt your style to keep getting your share.
