pulgasari-Kim Jong Il's Monster movie

[vulnerabledonkey]

Ana is failing to cut his hair in accordance with the socialist lifestyle!

[ludd911]

Wait, I'm confused. Is Pulgasari the hero or the villain? Is he the Monster of Capitalism, raping and pillaging across the land? Or a heroic symbol of the Communist Party taking back the world for the working class against the bourgeoisie? Commie propaganda is hard to follow.

[FunkMan53]

How did they get music from the 60's?

[FunkMan53]

YouTube should include the FULL LENGTH version of this movie! It fits in perfectly with all the free & crappy "B" movies.

[sketchingpencils]

@FunkMan53 true rue ue e

[capsulej]

I had no idea that, while fighting giant monsters, the North Korean military dress up as vikings.

[PALIOFX]

aaaaaaaahhhhhhh that good! where do I get one? And I put it to the u.s... and soldiers run as gay? What crush all! hahaha XD!

sorry for the stupid humor, but I like this vid classic! :D

[PALIOFX]

@cdoftx

(I do not see your comment there)

hehehe I do not think the kidnapping because the director died and it's too late to lead the godzilla ... :( :P

[fenix9885]

Cracked

[emloquace]

Who wants to bet it was Kim Jong Il in that monster costume? I bet he did the whole movie thing just so he could play around in that.

[ludd911]

@emloquace Lol. Definitely! That just made watching this so much more enjoyable.

[521i]

The 1 made with the help of the Japanese movie staffs who worked in To-ei

Where they made Godzilla & ultra man

No wonder it's better than the other movies in DPRK

It's only propaganda

Not fun

[quantengeil]

DPRK rules!

[alaktrow]

Das grösste Meisterwerk von Kim Jong Il... ;o))

[lurevideos]

this is one fucked up movie.... a must see

[alucard1931]

It ain't easy to direct a movie while having a gun pointed at your head.

[luigipaneron]

Communist dreamworks mastercraft movie from the great leader that invented Hamburgers and drunk the entire Hennesy inventory in 1987..

[elgreengiant123]

wow these effects are too good for old films, modern animations are nowhere near as advanced

[Balian49]

Something tells me this movie swept all of the film awards in North Korea

[stuge234]

@Balian49 lol man .

[fievel12b]

6:39 to 6:42=Classic

[fbizzy81]

i liked the part with the monster

[therealbigdrewbowski]

Kim Jong Il invented the POWER RANGERS.

[gonner709]

after seeing this i feel as though kim jong il was on acid for most of his stay in power...

[DodgerFan1988]

It's better than the 1998 Godzilla remake.

[Apemopo]

2:57 omg lol xD

[krg176]

"Some people were harmed in the making of this movie."

[raiskaansuthalolla]

this movie should be banned from this planet, just for the reason how it was made.

[HlTLERHlTLERHlTLER]

At least it's better than justin biebers movie... waaay better

[HeroeBad]

this movie was made in 70s' so people shouldn't expect awesome effects :D

[hayakubaka]

Greatest. Movie. Ever!!!!

[101thedestroyer]

@hayakubaka no way, its the worst !

[hayakubaka]

@101thedestroyer Hahahaha this is one epic movie !! It's so bad it gives " the worst" a whole new meaning.... :O

[TheTrollstigen]

It's cool they've gotten to, seemngly, record in the forbidden city - that's quite rare. But I'm pussled about how the Chinese look at the destruction of som of their landmarks...

[Ejay1001]

@TheTrollstigen This film was produced in North Korea, not China. Two completely different countries, did not do the research.

[PianoIsTheRemedy]

Our dear leader's most glorious gift to the world of film shall not go unremembered. Kim Jong, 'ol buddy 'ol pal, I will watch Pulgasari every night and study it hoping to learn its secrets. I will make glorious films in your name and the most glorious name of North Korea so that we may show the world how kick ass Communism is and how shitty Capitalism is. Long live Kim Jong Douche!

[Anubi1989]

@PianoIsTheRemedy it's a pity you're only a stupid american wannabe... douchebag!

[101thedestroyer]

@PianoIsTheRemedy worst piece of crap ever !

and capitalism is crap too, just as dictatorship/communism,

its slavery, both are...

[TapOnX]

@101thedestroyer

I think you should go learn what slavery is.

[Bfdidc]

And now Kim Jong Il is dead. The dream is over. We can only hope one of his sons is a true auteur like his pop.

[101thedestroyer]

@Bfdidc are you serious, its worst than power ranger !

[LCDRformat]

I'm proud that North Korea has advanced far enough to attack the capitalist bastards with fireworks instead of swords and rocks. Praise be to our glorious leader!

[dontNomMe]

@xadia2 samurai? :D

[BaraSkit07]

Atleast it was better than turkish star wars....

[EverybodyLovesRamos]

0:12 lmaooooo



[dosFING]

I have never seen anything so batshit insane in all my days- oh wait what was that japanese thing with he dinosaur and the butterfly?

[SonOfTheDawn515]

the richest koreans NOT in il's family in all of north korean history! lol

[xadia2]

GO GO POWER RANGERS!

[ECWGuy420]

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE TITS????????

[Svartben98]

Did Kim Jong Il die? Lolwut?

[SuperMrBentley]

kim jong ill did it for the lulz

[thesharkster1]

north korea is so awesome

[redhairmarimo]

Gob bless you Kim Jong Il. You make our world so much more entertaining and funny.

[101thedestroyer]

@redhairmarimo nope, he suck-ed !

was cruel, egotistic, and mean!

[totallynotjonathan]

bitch is FIIIIIIIINE with a capitol I

[sculp20]

Inb4 people from Cracked ask for thumbs u- GOD DAMMIT! LEAVE THE THUMBS FOR THE CLEVER COMMENTS!

[robertextremu]

why isn't north Korea nuked already?

[BlackvvvFist]

@robertextremu Because the fallout would spread to south Korea and them BAM! No more Samsung, Hyundai, or any other cool Korean stuff :(

[robertextremu]

@BlackvvvFist good point!

[StrikeForte]

@BlackvvvFist Cool korean stuff? Lol. Nope.

[rohitchaoji]

Hell Knight from the original Doom?

[FQBeast]

I'm sure the real reason why the two girls were shocked at 0:50 is because they actually managed to find food in North Korea.

[mrditchdigger1]

@FQBeast psssh who needs food when there is perfectly good grass growing from the ground to eat!

[Themaniacnextdoor]

Pulgasari- was banned until the 90s in america apparently. I figured it was a lost classi when i heard this and i found it, only to discover its about as much of a lost classic as the origional Yongary.

[triplays]

Garbage.

[pablovercetti22]

seems to be better than godzilla...

[theyeti101101]

The guys of Rifftrax (or cinematic titanic) gotta get on this, post-haste!

[SOOPERNEILAN]

pretty sure they ripped of the legend of zelda music!

[Jtiger987]

@SOOPERNEILAN i believe its older than zelda ?

[godzillakotm]

This is more of a Daimajin ripoff, but I like it. Took me a long time to get a figurine of this creature.

[ebolaoutkast]

I must be very tired

[Metalcultistmike]

Guess Kim Jong-il was just ronery.

[ISubscribeToYou3]

LAME

[Charinidae]

@poohead54ify kinda reminds me of gremlins, but I'm not sure :)

[deuone]

reptilicus watch out!

[Jaelikspie]

I am South Korean and it is bad that Kim Jung Il kidnapped a director and his wife from south korean but they didnt rip off Godzilla or Japan. "Pulgasari" is a real ancient legend from BOTH the Koreas.

[Rosebunse]

@Jaelikspie Please explain? I guess every culture has some legend about giant reptiles. Do you know if the director and his wife are OK now? By OK, I mean anywhere other than North Korea.

[Cainus44]

@Rosebunse Yeah, they escaped. I think they're in Austria now.

[Rosebunse]

@Cainus44 That's good :) How horrible that not only were they kidnapped, but then forced to make this horrible movie.

[Cainus44]

@Rosebunse Kimmy's ego knows no bounds.

[Rosebunse]

@Cainus44 Seriously. Even people in Burma can say that their lives are better because they don't live in North Korea.

[Cainus44]

@Rosebunse Well, Burma threw out their pants-on-head retarded dictator a few decades ago at least.

[KaijuSlasher13]

Kim John Il's answer to Godzilla.

[chuckvoodoo]

At least dear leader made an awesome movie, you just don't see that kind of dedication in lesser dictators.

[iTheGeek]

@chuckvoodoo I really hope you're being sarcastic. Because Shin Sang-ok and Choi Eun-Hee were kidnapped by Kim Jong-il and they had to wait FOUR years in jail in order for them to start making the film because Kim Jong-il said that "things were busy at the office". Not to mention that the people who took part in this movie were being fed GRASS.

[henriquedematos]

@chuckvoodoo Actually this was terrible, even for an 80's movie. And the "dear" leader didn't made it, it was one of the directors he kidnaped who did this film.

[rbx22]

@chuckvoodoo dude he kidnapped a soutkorean producer and his wife and forced them to make godzilla movies for socialist lol he could escape after years of prison. he pretended to be a super communist and got to a expidition/visit to vienna and escaped from there lol

[101thedestroyer]

@chuckvoodoo dear leader ?

more like dictator !

[quesosuizo25]

Oh North Korea you so crazy.

[Damnation2525]

What the fuck did I just watch.

[infringementMAN]

Where's the Megazord when you need it?

[anonbr666]

NORTH KOREA IS BEST KOREA

[P9298]

two thumbs up

[BellatrixTheSmall]

dude, in a massive monster attack i'd totally hide behind a curtain in a collapsing building just like this guy.

[IdarkphoenixI]

Just think...This genius Director went on to create such masterpieces like "3 ninjas at mega mountain"

[d0ugz24]

thank you cracked.

[jinto74]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the sequel. BRIDE OF PULGASARI. To be directed by Uwe Boll and/or M Night Shyamalan. Production is rumored to begin after North Korea successfully kidnaps those two, and the approval of a $500 million "cultural" loan from China. Rock ON you crazy bastards!

[notfaux]

why does godzilla sound like a kitten?

[junkerde]

i saw this, its as bizzare as it is creepy......

[Ronnie11789]

where can i buy the dvd from??

[MaakaKarin17]

Lol, it started out as a fucking bizarre Korean lizard version of Momotaro...

[DictatorRoB]

DPRK's version of Transformers.

[Quionic7]

I want to own this movie, bad.

[sgottlieb]

This NEEDS to be rifftracked!

[Lars0n]

GO GO POWER RANGERS

[jaknife99]

Kim Jong Il's hotel is awesome they should totally play this in one of the revolving retaurants.

[On3Sound]

HOLY FUCK THIS IS AMAZING

[Ihrapallero]

See, THIS is why Kim Jong Il is the man.

Jong Un can go die on a farm, he can't even hit 11 holes in one in a single round.

[abvflux]

CRACK'D

[fenriz218]

If I were lil' Kim, I'd kidnap James Cameron and force him at gunpoint to make a sci-fi epic about capitalists invading a peaceful planet, trying to exploit peaceful blue idiots ... I'd make him shot it in 3D and there would be a lot of p0rn!

[Kaylah087]

Quite good! Mind you...it would be. The director and his wife were kidnapped and imprisoned. That's a good insentive to make something decent. I wish I lived in North Korea. Kim Jong Il invented the hamburger! So he says...

[minker84]

bettter than i expected

[anythingnew]

God bless communism!

[Htrerise]

Is it weird that I got a boner?

[mooody12]

So were they the capitalists, or the monarchs that were killed in the end?

[fenriz218]

@mooody12 They looked like South-Koreans to me ... goddamn South-Koreas... X-(

[alexomnislash]

Thumbs up if you came here from cracked!

[BlackandBlueMage]

this is actually no worse than the original gojira film imo. good job kim jong il! you sure know how to kidnap the right directors!

[crazylaura64]

Why does the music sound like a crossover between Animal Crossing and Potter Puppet Pals?

[fndu8s]

GO GO POWER RANGERS!!!

[DanDood11]

Apparently the two guys who Kim hired at gunpoint to make this movie made an epic escape that would've made a much better movie.

[kefkaROX]

[CENSORED BY THE GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF SOCIALIST KOREA. FOR THE GLORIOUS DEAR LEADER]

[TTwoo]

[THIS COMMENT HAS BEEN CENSORED BY GLORIOUS KOREAN REPUBLIC]

[goji2099]

See, I thought this was a relatively charming little film. Not particularly good, but really not worth some of the hate it's receiving. It's too mediocre for all that.

[godmax1]

that chick in the movie is hot, to bad shes probably dead by now :(

[Nerevar1990]

@godmax1 lol dude this is only 1985, she's probably on like 50 now.

[nintendolad]

POKE BALL GO!

[Dinnerforever]

Wow, for the longest time I thought the North Korean's were so evil that they had literally killed color, that's why most of the their films were black and white

[MasterJoBob]

i like the play by play

brother sister sleeping together must be cultural (i hope)

but other than that this was...

TOTALLY F*CKING AWESOME!!!

I have no idea what is going but i feel like their total lack of a budget and their very much greenhorn approach actually makes it kinda fun.

I give it an A- for effort and would gladly put it in my library of B movies that i watch when I am stoned doing homework

I rank it below Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus

but maybe above Last of the Mohicans

[Xunkun]

Gahh, that thing looked freaky when it started moving

Cuz everybody knows that cast-iron canons are actually made out of C-4..

Wait, who the hell are all these people? Why's the monster posing so gay? How did that girl hemmorage so much blood and heal so quickly in the beggining?

[SerialKiller1986]

I like the part when the king covers himself with that yellow curtain

I can already imagine Joel/Mike and the bots commentary on that one XD

"Oh magic curtain , take me away !"

or maybe Crow would go ahead and say...

"Keep away from meeee , keep awaay !! *squash* OH , the pain , the pain , the pain !1"

man , I love MST3K !

[1Pantikian]

cracked

[Cavaliso]

So Godzilla is the embodiement of Capitalism and greed? Kay.

[NinjaPenguinRobot]

its not that bad although if the director had the creative freedom to make it on his own it might've come out very different... honestly its not that bad kinda interesting premise really

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

I find it hard to believe that this was commissioned by a dictator for the purpose of entertainment. I would rather be shot than forced to watch this crap. MST3K couldn't save this.

[brav3h3art545]

Another fine example of how much ass kim jong il sucks. hahahaha

[nitroslipperz]

is it me, or does the music sound like its from potter puppet palls?

[kakashi76767]

so does it shit out molten steel?

[IAMTHECAPSGODLOL]

The koreanzilla is an analogy for imperial aggresion.

[mattiathekaiju]

theres a pseudo remake of this movie:galgameth.

[boofdfast]

That monster looks like Damajin and Minotaur in one monster. LOL

[bobaboiz03]

Not the worst movie I've seen honestly.

[jakethedane]

A man in a bad lizzard suit. Big art. Well done, Kim Jong-Il, you maniac!

[thaddeuslowe]

The Brazilians are going to rape these commie bastards tonight

[ouchkis]

3:36 NK's glorious army!

[lukaszpatula]

I think that it's possible that actors in fight scenes dies for real, it's N.Korea after all;)

[Esoto826]

This should have been the Cloverfield Monster

[exeleroturbo]

Sometime in the late 70s, a young, scrappy Kim Jong-il was kicking around his palace, totally bummed out. "Why doesn't everyone on Earth love our glorious state?" he must have wondered. "Why doesn't everyone want to be a part of it?" As he surveyed the dirt poor, militarily controlled North Korea, he must have deduced that it was because of a lack of film.

[ForestDweller80]

@exeleroturbo Nice copy-paste from Cracked.

[teann95]

6:55 the foot of justice.

Ronery!!! So Ronery & Sadry Arone!!!

[Navran666]

Laugh it up, this movie is awesome! Trash huge monsters leveling Far East cities is what it's all about, people! Anyway, beats the shit out of Power Rangers :DDDDD

[SMGJohn]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JDamanYT]

Shittier than Uwe Boll's movies.

Stay Cool.

[breakinthebend]

This movie is sick.

[TadakatsuH0nda]

This is Fantastic. Kidnaps a South Korean director's wife to force him to make a rip off of a Japanese movie. Thats how Kim Jong il Rolls.

[DoubtlessBag]

@TadakatsuH0nda The director was kidnapped to make this movie, he was divorced from his wife and she was also kidnapped and Kim Jong Il "convinced" them to re-marry.

[Manonthe3up]

Okay, that's it. When I get older, I'm fucking up North Korea as much as I can. (can anybody say "tesla coil hotel of the gods"?)

[CapitalistOverlord]

Want some help?

Can you say, Kim Jong Il is the reason communism is laughed at?

[NuJoiseyMAN]

And the Oscar for Best Foreign Film goes to.... KIM JONG IL!?

"Aahwwh, I wan to tank Jesus an the 23 million people forced to watch this movie. But mos of all, I wan ta thank my dad. Because witout heem I would jus be some short guy nobody care about. Now I big Dear Leader. Long live myself! Goodnight"

[backwalk]

@NuJoiseyMAN

Crose, but no cigar! It should read:

Ahhh! I wan to tank Jebus an the 23 mirrion slaved I kidnapped to rotch my movie. I morsly wan to tank my Dad, because rithout him, I rould be some short guy no body care about. Rong Rive ME!

[RoyalDog214]

If this was North Korea, you would get executed for laughing.

[IronDr4gon]

@RoyalDog214 What????

[Deadman1709]

It's kinda half-decent but down grade for a few reasons:

1) It's a rip-off of Godzilla.

2) The movie was made at gun-point. The director was kidnapped in order to make this movie.

Otherwise, it's half decent, not so half bad.

[CenturionRyan]

And you know what? It's STILL better than the American Godzilla.

[grimlock2008]

not really zilla is awesome

[thewooky]

I thought it was pretty good... cause I was expecting worse xD

anywho... its was nice cause I understood them.

[aegisfate117]

I made it to 0:35.

That is pretty goddamn good if you ask me.
