Product Description:
''A nuclear explosion sets off a massive earthquake. An astronaut on a reconnaissance mission notices that the epicenter of the earthquake appears to be moving straight towards the heart of Korea. This is no ordinary earthquake - the legendary reptilian monster Yongary has been awakened by intense radiation. With martial law declared and the city evacuated, the army and air force battle the fearsome creature with tanks and rockets, but their weapons are useless. Ilo, a brilliant scientist and his precocious eight-year-old sidekick Icho must desperately attempt to devise a plan to save the city and defeat Yongary, the monster from the deep.
Yongary was Korea's first entry into the kaiju movie genre. Although it drew heavily on the imagery and storyline of Godzilla, Yongary retained a unique regional feel that continues to impress viewers today.

Cheesy and campy `kaiju' film inspired by the success of Godzilla series, some would describe "Yongary" (1967) as Korean answer to the more famous Japanese monster. Actually the truths are a little more complicated than a simple rip-off, but anyway, if you like this kind of film, old-fashioned rubber-suit monster genre, you might find "Yongary" pretty entertaining, if technically much inferior to other films of the same ilk.
The story is a usual one. A nuclear experiment wakes up a legendary ... Read More

Oh this is such a bad movie, Yongary looked like they used a second rate Godzilla suit. The effects are bad, you can even see the pipe where the fire comes out in the close up shots. The ending is just plain sick.

Having seen most every entry in the Godzilla and Gamera film series, including many other Kaiju movies, I have to say that this was the most mind-bendingly stupidest one there is.
The plot is generic, in which a giant monster is awoken by nuclear testing and then seeks revenge on humanity. The characters are almost all badly acted cliches, from the uptight military general to the 10-year old kid in short shorts who is smarter than every adult in the film (which isn't saying much) and is given ...

Yongary is another Godzilla clone, only this time made in Korea. This is Korea's first kaiju entry, and even though a lot of things are borrowed from Godzilla and Gamera, the movie is pretty good. The story is that earthquakes start to happen around Korea and they eventually find out it's not earthquakes but really Yongary moving around under the Earth. Yongary goes around all kaiju and begins to attack buildings while the citizens run in terror. It is later found out that Yongary is after one thing, oil. He ... Read More

Why do people watch and love Asian Kaiju (giant monster) films? Why am I still watching them thirty years after "Monster Week on the 4:30 Movie"? (All the 40-something New Yorkers reading this just smiled).
Well, dang it, there's just something about those stylish moments when Yongary (or Godzilla or Gamera or whatever) lumbers onto the screen against a lame backdrop sunset over a toy city in smoldering slow-motion flames. For a brief half-second, some primal reaction in you gasps and says "Crikey, ... Read More
