Yongary: Monster from the Deep	comment	Yongary: Monster from the Deep is a 1967 South Korean/Japanese Toku Kaiju film directed by Kim Ki-duk and featuring special effects by Kenichi Nakagawa. An attempt to ape the success of the Godzilla and Gamera series, it tells the story of a monster awoken by nuclear weapons, which then rises up to wreak havoc on a populated city. Never Heard That One Before, right?Contains parallels to Space Monster Wangmagwi, another Korean monster film released a couple months before this one. Remade as a 1999 film intended to ape the success of Godzilla (1998), simpily titled Yonggary. The following year, yet another remake, titled either titled 2001 Yonggary or Reptilian depending on the market, was released. Also featured on the Netflix revival of Mystery Science Theater 3000. For the recap, go here.

Whether the nukes mutated it, making it the fire-breathing, oil-devouring monstrosity it is, or if it was just born that way, is never discussed.

Indeed, allowing Yonggary to be resurrected ultimately thwarts their own plan when he proves to be the more powerful monster and kills Cykor after being freed from their control.

He also kills another monster, unlike the original. Also crossed over with Adaptational Wimp, as while this version of Yonggary is much more powerful, he lacks a couple of the unique abilities his older version had, namely his horn beam and ability to consume flames.
