Re: Space Monster Wangmagwi Coming to Home Video
I'd never even heard of this movie. What a curveball! Now Yonggary: Monster From the Deep won't have to be alone as the only Korean kaiju film on my shelf.

The only reason I even know this film existed was because of the old book Godzilla: King of the Movie Monsters.

I've seen a clip of this movie, and it could be worth a watch.

SRS's catalog has more obscure stuff than the major kaiju bootleg operations of the vhs/DVD heyday.

This is a movie that could use a modern remake.

It would be great if a modern Wangmagwi or even Bulgasari was made in Korea today. Especially with how crazy the world seems to be for Korean cinema since Parasite and Squid Games.

I'd love a sequel or homage to The Host too. Been nearly 20 years, and it's really held up.Major sssspielberg! wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 4:07 amIt would be great if a modern Wangmagwi or even Bulgasari was made in Korea today.

Why not a modern Yongary remake on top of that?Vakanai wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 8:02 amI'd love a sequel or homage to The Host too.

I still want to try the chicken nuggets inspired by the film.

That's actually pretty funny. Did realize that was even a thing.

Re: Space Monster Wangmagwi Coming to Home Video
So, what's the deal with this film having been 'lost'? Did it just resurface when this release was announced, or...?

My guess is a lost copy was found in someone's basement/attic.

It wasn’t really “lost”, just not available anywhere outside of South Korea. It didn’t see a home media release anywhere and was only available through prints at the Korean Film Archive and digital copies viewable on-site only. It aired on TV a couple of times but nobody was able to record it.

Re: Space Monster Wangmagwi Coming to Home Video
Ah. I guess that probably doesn't bode well for its quality, but we'll see. It's pretty cool that there's finally a home release coming, anyway. It's got to be one of the single most obscure kaiju films out there.UltramanGoji wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 5:50 amIt wasn’t really “lost”, just not available anywhere outside of South Korea.

Re: Space Monster Wangmagwi Coming to Home Video
I heard either the studio or the director basically had it suppressed. If true something must have happened to allow its release.
