In the film industry on low budget films, Monkey Points means that the talent (the actor, ...) receives a percentage of net profits instead of gross profits. Eddie Murphy coined the derogatory term because film industry accounting never shows a net profit and talent should always insist on points on gross profit, not net profit.

A point made in argument which is reasonable, intelligent, and probably ends the discussion right then and there. There are no comebacks for Monkey Point.
Also: A synonym for 'logic'.
We were arguing about National Education, and then Matt made a Monkey Point, so I had no choice but to surrender to his superior logic.
