Yongary, Monster from the Deep (1967)

AIP
Directed by Ki-duk Kim
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM)

Korea's Yongary is very, very similar to Godzilla, about the only major difference is a single tusk on the end of his nose which occasionally glows and can shoot laser beams. Otherwise, he swings his tail and shoots fire from his mouth to inflict destruction on a miniature Korean city. A scientist and a little boy try to figure out how to stop him, while the military shoots missiles and sends in fighter jets. At one point Yongary and the little boy dance to twangy rock and roll music.
