Review of Yongary, Monster from the Deep (1967) by Allan C — 06 Feb 2016
Not a Japanese monster film, but a Korean monster picture. An earthquake turns out to be caused by a giant monster, Yongary. The monster is fueled by eating gasoline and then goes on a rampage threatening Seoul.
As cheesy as the Godzilla films are, I'm not sure I appreciated them enough and how true bad they could have been until I saw this film. In this film, the costume looks terrible, with the jaw being the only articulated piece (the eyes move).
You can see a pipe in the monsters mouth when it breaths fire. The monster also seemed to destroy the same mountainside set for the entire film. Oh, and there is one scene where the monster dances with a little boy.
I suppose the one thing this film has going for it, is that it's almost continuous monster actions and not a lot of the puny humans talking about how to stop the monster. However, the film is just stupid.
