Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })War of the God Monsters (also known as The Flying Monster in some versions) is a 1985 Korean kaiju film made with some, shall we say, unapproved "assistance" from Tsuburaya Productions?A scientist named Dr. Kim is attempting to prove to the world that dinosaurs still exists when hibernating monsters suddenly appears from the skies and the seas around Korea. Working together with a reporter named Kang Ok-hee, they're caught in the chaos with Dr. Kim trying to retrieve his young daughter after spending much of the film neglecting his only child.It's worth noting that approximately none of the film's onscreen monsters (as seen on the poster) are original creations; instead, the producers actually cribbed footage from a bunch of decade-old Tsuburaya works including Ultraman note Pestar is one of the kaiju in the film, Return of Ultraman note Bemstar, Terochilus, Seamons and Seagorath, the title presumably refers to the former two , Ultraman Ace note Verokron appears as well and Fireman note Dorigon is in this one, too (as well as The Founding of Ming Dynasty, a Taiwanese-Japanese co-production which inexplicably contain dragons) for their monster rampage scenes. The resulting mess needs to be seen to be believed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Compare Space Warriors 2000 made by Sompote Sands of Chaiyo Productions fame and Ultraman Story, another copy-and-paste stitch job made from recycling monster footage, though that one is at least a Tsuburaya output. | |

Bait-and-Switch Credits | |
| War of the God Monsters / int_c76b215e | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Credits: The opening scenes, which depicts Ok-hee's bumpy bus ride to Dr. Kim's place, is mostly comedic. Which is followed by moments where she interviews Dr. Kim, and some occasional bonding with Kim's daughter, basically nothing that screams "kaiju!" for a while. And then a couple mysteriously gets mauled in Jeju Island... | |

Accidental Suicide | |
| War of the God Monsters / int_e8cb930f | comment |
Accidental Suicide: Not-Pestar, much like it's original counterpart from Ultraman, unintentionally blew itself up when rampaging across an oil field. Bonus points for having NO Ultramen to finish it off this time. | |

All Just a Dream | |
| War of the God Monsters / int_ea85d6ea | comment |
All Just a Dream: While most of the cribbed monster footage at least fits into the movie's context (loosely, very loosely), scenes depicting Verokron are actually part of a dream from Kim's daughter. | |
