I think Kraa the Sea Monster is gonna be next. Or The Japanese Attack Of The Flying Saucers (1956).

[@williamschwartz7428]

The Starfish-like monster is from the first Ultraman series. It's a petroleum eating creature called Pestar. Your observation about the creature dying on its own is correct. In the episode Oil SOS, it dies from smoke inhalation from raging petroleum fires. Rather than defeating the monster, Ultraman really just extinguishes the fires.

[@songaregon1143]

Ultraman did kill it by finishing it off with a Specium Ray

[@williamschwartz7428]

Ok, dude, the monster that looks like a dinosaur fucked a virus in this film is Verokron, AN ULTRAMAN ACE MONSTER! Meaning they did use Ultraman Ace footage, just not the one where Dorgorie tears Muruchi apart. In fact, here's a list of all the monsters that appeared: Flying Bird Boy - Terochilos, an Ultraman Jack monster Bat Boytron - Pestar, an Ultraman monster Tricerasaurus Rex - Dorigon, a Fireman monster Kitedon - Bemstar, an Ultraman Jack monster Rhino Doggo - Seamons, an Ultraman Jack monster Bigger Rhino Doggo - Seagorath, an Ultraman Jack monster Let me know if this clears anything up.

[@christopherwall2121]

On the plus side, it does say a lot about the quality of the Ultra Series' cinematography that the monsters can be spliced in to a film over a decade newer than it this easily.

[@kylecurry577]

This unauthorized extravaganza is so disjointed & all over the place that it becomes curiously watchable…just to see in what direction they go next.

The monsters actually remind me of a lot of modern paleo art. Some artist go overboard with the flamboyant feathers and colors in their dinosaur illustrations

[@KRhetor]

Thank you! One of my pet peeves about modern paleoart is "Dinosaurs had feathers? OK, let's make them all look like domestic show birds!"

[@KRhetor]

@LibtardsStillCant SilenceMe20 "Larger birds tend to lose or shrink feathers on the face and neck? Who cares, it doesn't look as cool!"

Many birds have flamboyant feathers and colors. Why not dinosaurs? And many actual good paleoart give dinosaurs more realistic colors than aren't just gray or brown.

[@Deephouse_Gent66]

I actually just saw this film for the first time last year! New Korean dialogue scenes wrapped around Ultraman monster villain footage from a couple different Ultraman series. It had me cracking up because I'm a fan of the Ultra series, so I knew exactly where the monster scenes came from!

Toho would still flag the footage as they have distinct copyright on ALL their Kaiju, not just Godzilla. In fact each Kaiju has to be individually licensed rather then as a block. (Just look at the back of Godzilla model or toy and you'll see a little logo for the Kaiju that are int he product.)

[@Giran_0]

Not on the Giant Condor

[@xkumanekox]

If you want real hardcore Japanese monster gore and violence, I recommend seeing the 70s Kamen Rider Amazon series. We got plenty of torn monster limbs and decapitations for days in that one.

[@joaoonda]

Man, one of your best reviews so far! Keep up the good work! I need to watch this movie someday!

[@KuWota2k]

Great video! Funny how the movie explains them as dinosaurs but some of them like Bemstar (kaitodon) and Verokron (virus dinosaur) are aliens in their original context. Interestingly enough, one of the monsters, the triceratops one, is from Fireman, a sister series to Ultraman also by Tsuburaya, interesting change of footage.

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Now how would they explain Tyrant if he appeared in this movie?

[@thomasshaxon6844]

That red and green dinosaur monster is called missile terible monster verokron or just verokron from Ultraman ace

To answer your question at the end--assuming you've not already done this movie?--"Pulgasari" is that movie you speak of. The late Kim Jon-il's infamous paean to the Glorious Communist Lifestyle masquerading as a kaiju movie and a period piece as well.

While I fully admit this may be up to personal interpretation... I have also watched this movie, and I think the dinosaur-virus monster that the doctor says the little girl hallucinated she actually DID hallucinate, as like a trauma response to seeing the bird monster earlier, as dino-virus is never seen again in the movie and, as you said, a full scale attack on the city like that would be rather hard for everyone to miss.

The word "man" has a different etymology than the word "woman". It doesn't strictly refer to the male sex or to a single male individual. It can also refer to humanity as a whole. Humor based on ignorance is about as funny as 9/11.

That's the missile chouju Velokron

[@alexandrekan8589]

That love child of a Tyrannosaur and the covid virus is called Verokron and initially appeared as the first kaiju in UItraman Ace. It is actually a fusion between a space monster and sea corals sent by the series' villain Yapool to wreck hell on Earth. Among the casualities are the two protagonists who get ressurected by the Ultra Brothers out of admiration and compassion, making Verokron thus the main catalyst of the series' events.

Hey Brandon! The monster that looks like a dinosaur that fuck the coronavirus is called ベロクロン Velokron the missile chouju that appeared in the first episode of Ultraman Ace. He was played by Toru Kawai. (Who also played as other monsters that appeared in Ultraman Ace). He was designed by Akihiko Iguchi. Velokron's roar is a sped up version of Rodan's roar which might sound similar to Heisei King Ghidorah. But when Ultraman Mebius came along he reuses Universal Stock Roars. So I hope you learned something there. Brandon, enjoy your life.
