I love the idea of sneaky monkeys. I love the phrase 'sneaky monkey'.

what blooming film is that ripped off from? I can hear it (said about someone called Brad?) but can't for the life of me remember

It probably works best in places like movie theaters; you know, you've been sneaking in to movie after movie all afternoon and some usher finally catches up with you? "FIIIIIIIRE!!!!" And you're off the hook!
