No. Godzilla never surrenders.

That's where Mrs. Doubtfire came from.

"Hell Comes to Frogtown"

<=====Likes to wear rubber suits

Does she?

"The doll, named Pulgasari, saves Ami's lover from execution, then joins the peasant rebellion against the land's tyrant."

Sounds like KJI was trying to inject a bit of "workers-revolt-against-the-ruling-class" communist propaganda into the film.

However, he described the progress of communism a little too well:

"But after the tyrant is gone, Pulgasari turns on the peasants."

The Revolution eats its children.

I think the Grammar Nazis will have a coronary over this.

WTF.

I know a bunch of people that work at ADV Films. They love those wierd obscure monster movies over there. But this one takes the cake. I gotta check it out.

What? No DVD release? Bah. Forget it.

Stoopid.

K J II is out of ideas.

awesome review of the movie.

"The movie itself is a fascinating combination of standard monster flick and historial tale of the power of the people. The problematic bit is the fact that, due to North Korea's non-existent resources and infrastructure, the film is incredibly, hilariously poorly executed. That's not to say that they didn't try really hard-- Ken Satsuma, the original actor who played Godzilla, was hired to wear the rubber suit of the monster. Not only that, two of the most popular young actors in South Korea at the time were asked to play the leads. They declined, so they got kidnapped and had to play the leads anyway. "

sounds like A TRUE WINNAR!

if this movie was made in Korea, why is everything on the cover in japanese?

oops. Japanese realease. nevermind.

This story is ancient. I submitted it myself back in March.

...with a better title.

Yeah, Me too

Suddenly, Kim il-Jong does not seem so hard to relate to.

The story of Pulgasari is just a metaphor for ANY iron-eating doll that is awakened by a girl's blood, kills a tyrant and is, in turn, destroyed by the girl's self-sacrifice. With a few minor modifications, the story is identical with the movie, "On Golden Pond" (hint: Henry Fonda is Pulgasari)...

Everything was submitted earlier with a better title.

Whiners aren't winners.

I've come to the conclusion that Kim Jong's blood is pure syphilis.
Thats how insane and deranged he is.

Read the whole story here in the Guardian UK.

I will never surrender !

Did KLING post this by any chance???

No, I am the one who will not surrender.

Lousy imposters!

I bet Rodan could kick his butt.

Insane in the membrane (insane in the brain!)

The plot of this movie was shamelessly stolen from the second season of Coach. Or maybe it was from Upstairs, Downstairs. Yeah, that's it, it was stolen from Upstairs, Downstairs.

(wgaff)

Good thing this guy owns his own personal nuclear bomb.

this story was in time magazine like 6 months ago. guy's a nutcase. the story said he is obsessed with american movies and the los angeles lakers. he also is obsessed with making movies of his own. he has an entourage of cameras everywhere he goes. a few years ago when he met madeline albright, she went to shake his hand and he pulled back...the cameras werent turned on yet.

*obligatory*

Wouldn't it be cool if there actually were monsters rampaging over the earth, causing death and destruction wherever they trundled? Guys? Guys...?

kim jon rymes with king kong

Face it. If you could, you would too. I know I would love to kidnap Farouza Balk to make rubber suited monster movies. Wait. I've said too much . . . . .

elendilmir, if you like her so much, why can't you spell Fairuza's name correctly?

Poor fanboy skils. Sorry.

she was HOT in Return to Oz.....uh....i mean.......uh.........damn

Earlier and MONTHS EARLIER are different things.

And weren't you just whining about the complaints?

Malinois thank you. I was getting ready to do it, but you saved the day!

I bet a movie about the making of this movie would be screamingly funny. Make it a cast driven comedy like A Fish Called Wanda, or Best in Show, and it could make MILLIONS...erm... THOUSANDS of Dollars!!!

Jackie Chan could play Kim Jong Il.

Good site StompTokyo.com, generally sharp reviews and doesn't take itself too seriously.

KJ2: okay, I'm going to lock you in this room until you make a good rubber monster movie.
