Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original South Korean theatrical print of the film was lost, but the U.S. TV print still exists.
- GoofsWhen Yonggary cuts the military Jeep in two with its horn's laser beam while it is driving down the road, a smaller support wheel used to support the front half of the Jeep is clearly visible.
- Quotes
Soldier: You got here a bit too late, sir. They're going to hit Yongary any minute. They'll be using guided missiles. You better go. They're going to hit Yongary any minute. They'll be using guided missiles. You better go.
- Alternate versionsThe U.S. version of the film has had four slightly different title/end sequences. 1. The Region 1 MGM widescreen DVD had no titles on the film print. MGM did their best to match the previous 1960s version font and style. 2. The public domain DVD released by St. Clair Vision features the original title sequence and has the wording of "American international Television Presents" in small lettering above the title. 3. The public domain DVD released by Alpha Video also has the original 1960s title sequence; however, the AIP wording of "American international Television Presents" is not present on their print. It just shows the title of the film. 4. The end credits sequence is both the same for the Alpha Video and St. Clair Vision DVD versions. The MGM DVD version is slightly different.

Problem Child 4, he's Korean now!
Well, I got to see North Korea's take on the giant monster genre with "Pulgarasi" a movie that was created literally because the country's leader kidnapped a director and now I see South Korea's take on it. I admit to being confused as to how this one is actually worse. I guess when you're being forced to do something, you have to work harder. This movie features a giant monster named Yongary attacking South Korea. The actual monster doesn't appear until a third into the movie, which is actually better than most giant monster movies. The thing is, it's very poorly done.
It's mostly because we just get cheesy scene after cheesy scene of Yongary being attacked over and over. There are a few times where it seems to die, only for us to unfortunately find out it's just going to give us more movie. It's dumb how they try to make it sympathetic, but then admit they have to kill it. I can literally easily see the tube inside the monster's mouth where the fire comes out! That might have been a deliberate part of the monster as it looked too cheesy to even be fake. The models are ugly looking and sometimes the people really do appear to be as large as the actual monster. *1/2
