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.

It's Coincidence, I Tell You!
Yongary comes out of the sea and destroys Seoul.
Some of you who have looked at this masterpiece of Korean cinema may claim that this is nothing but Godzilla with a name change and set in Korea. True, Yongary comes out of the sea, is played by a guy in a rubber iguana suit and has atomic-fire breath. He stomps down various medium high-rises in Seoul while the populace flees, each carrying the item most precious to them (no babies, but one man seems to be carrying a bowling ball). However, he has a horn on the end of his nose, like a rhinoceros, so nothing at all like Godzilla.
In addition, this monster isn't defeated by chance. There's a small boy who has invented an itching ray, you see, and has the knowledge to operate the controls of a oil-storage facility.
I look forward to the many sequels in which Yongary becomes the boy's best friend. A kid like that must attract bullies, and when someone is yanking up your underwear, there's nothing like an atomic-fire-breathing giant lizard to help you out.
