I didn't know that North Korea made a giant monster movie.

Anon, that's not a monster movie. That's an educational documentary on the time the capitalist west unleashed a horrible monster on True Korea which was bravely fought off by their god in the flesh Kim who kicked its ass so hard it went crying back to the land without birds to be comforted by its snow drinker masters.

>Director Shin had been kidnapped in 1978 by North Korean intelligence on the orders of Kim Jong-il, son of the then-ruling Kim Il-sung.[1]

>Kim was a lifelong admirer of the director, as well as Godzilla and other Kaiju films. He kidnapped the former director and his wife, famous actress Choi Eun-hee, with the specific purpose of making fantasy/propaganda films for the North Korean government.[1] Kim Jong-il also produced Pulgasari and all the films that Sang-ok made before he and Choi managed to escape from their minders while on tour in Austria.

People have been kidnapped for worse things I guess

Holy shit it's true.

Every time I think I've heard all of NKs craziness something even more insane pops up.

They kidnapped the guy solely to make propaganda movies featuring not!Godzilla.

>Want to make propaganda movies that make your country look good
>Do it by kidnapping a foreign director and actress and forcing them to make it
Are these people clinically retarded?

And the sad part? Even after being granted amnesty by the US he wouldn't return home to South Korea until years later because he was afraid his government would think he was a traitor or spy.

>>14200918
I remember getting a book about that before. He also directed three Ninjas as well right?

It was another shitty movie, I can't remember the name.

If Japan has done it, one of the Koreas has done it but worse.

Probably happened in Tyrole.

Well yeah, the US basically took the dude whom the Japanese put in charge of destroying Korea as a nation and as a culture and told him to be dictator there.

That's not a nation you want to return to after you've been to Norkea.

>They kidnapped the guy solely to make propaganda movies featuring not!Godzilla.

He was making propaganda movies for over a decade, the giant monster movie was just the last one he did before escaping.

They hired a crew from Toho fresh off the 1984 Godzilla movie, thought they were doing a children's show in Hong Kong, only to land in NK.

>>14200918
They kidnapped the dude who played Godzilla in the 80s and 90s too.

I genuinely want to see this but it's probably locked up in Best Korea, never to be seen by filthy capitalist westerners.
