YONGARY, MONSTER FROM THE DEEP (1967)
Korean version of GODZILLA which you think they would have maybe made sooner since the original GODZILLA came out 13 years earlier but whatever. Yongary itself is just Godzilla with a horn on his nose that shoots laser beams. There's a scene where a little boy hits the monster with an itch-ray and he dances a little jig while some 60's surf rock plays. Besides this and few other scenes of dumb rubber-suit monster activities there's not much that makes this any different from your typical GAMERA movie of this era and like those this is equally good for a cheap laugh. This was remade in 2000 as YONGGARY which was released here in the U.S. on DVD as REPTILIAN. Unfortunately it employed a bunch of computer-generated fx and sucked.
