Did you know
- TriviaThe original South Korean theatrical print of the film was lost, but the U.S. TV print still exists.

- 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.

The Truth Beneath Plate Tectonics
Nuclear testing in the Middle East awakens the earth-shaker Yongary from the depths of Korean mythology. This medium-sized kaiju is essentially Godzilla with big canines and a rhinoceros horn glued to his snout, and he is about to face the entire South Korean space program, air force, army and a willful eight-year-old. Needless to say, there really isn't much competition and Yongary makes short work of Seoul and everything along the way.
The special effects are anything but. The miniatures and cinematography are actually worse than some of the worst Japanese kaiju films of the early '70s. The acting and English dubbing is actually fairly good and the plot is not incoherent, though it is ridiculous.
Recommended for silent background play accompanied by your own soundtrack at a house party.
