In Honor of Kim Jong Il, Here are Clips From the Monster Movie He Made [Video]

By ( ) Comments

Made in 1985, Pulgasari is the movie Kim Jong Il made with the help of a director he kidnapped, Shin Sang-ok. The clip certainly speaks for itself, but if you needed to motivation to watch it and the phrase, “the monster movie Kim Jong Il kidnapped a director to make” wasn’t enough, maybe the plot synopsis is. From Wikipedia: “The film is about a doll made of rice by a prisoner, which on coming into contact with blood, grows to become a giant metal-eating monster.”

If you’re itching for some more Pulgasari (and how could you not be?), YouTube is just what you’re looking for.

    So he made a movie about a tiny creature full of rice that after getting the taste of blood grew in power and devoured a nations resources? Am I correct about this cause it sound a little too familiar?

    Tri mark films took this story and remade it into the superior:Legend of Galgameth.
    The little tagnut,(Kim Jong II), won’t be needing any credit, where he’s going now. Give my regards to : Bin Ladin, Hussin, and Kaddafii. I hope Hugo Chavez and Castro join you soon!
