Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Space Monster Wangmagwi (also known as Big Monster Wangmagwi or Devil King, the Space Monster in some regional releases) is a 1967 Korean kaiju film and notably the oldest surviving kaiju movie made in South Korea, beating Yongary by a couple of months. It also broke a record in the number of extras employed in a Korean movie at it's time of release. though despite the movie's scale and budget it was nearly lost through time due to lack of releases in VHS or DVD, until it was re-distributed in 2022.Aliens from Planet Gamma have set their sights on Earth, and dispatched their bio-weapon, the eponymous Wangmagwi, to attack Earth's cities starting with Seoul. A Korean air force pilot, Oh Jeong-wan, who's preparing his wedding with his fiancée Ahn-hee, is inevitably caught in the chaos, especially when Wangmagwi starts having it's sights on Ahn-hee.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Korea will make another King Kong-esque monster film, A*P*E, nearly a decade later, which turns out to be far more memorable than Wangmagwi. | |

Adorably Precocious Child: Spider, the child urchin, who's way more matured than any kid his age should be. From actually putting up a serious fight against the kaiju Wangmagwi, to lamenting that the adults aren't doing anything to battle the monster threat save for panicking like cowards. | |

Achilles' Heel | |
| Space Monster Wangmagwi / int_d7639dba | comment |
Achilles' Heel: Late in the film, it turns out Wangmagwi has a sole weakness in the radio receiver on it's back, which allows the Gamma aliens to control it. Damaging said receiver will weaken the monster, and of course Jeong-wan is the only pilot skilled enough to target it. | |
