The creature animation is reminiscent of Jim Danforth's work on "Laserblast", "Flesh Gordon", and better things.

it's military protocol

There is a plot. I just don't understand it.

Ooh, *another* new accent for Holly! #Monsterdon #Reptilian2001

Back like the McRib!

#Monsterdon

Every character in this whole film is such a caricature. I can't tell which hackneyed stereotype character is which hackneyed stereotype character.

#monsterdon

Calling bingo! With possibly more to come...

Weirdly relevant to tonight’s #Monsterdon. #Reptilian1999

I can't believe there's still an hour left on this film. DRAGGING, BRING ON THE MONSTER

#Monsterdon

I love the aliens

#Monsterdon

@rallias Can't use a photograph, there's no film rolls left. They're all spooled out on the floor.

@Bluedepth

#Monsterdon #Reptilian

they need(!) Omega tuuueeeeee!!!

#monsterdon

Boom-boom not a nickname I want for a general. #Monsterdon

How are you going to explain this?!

Easy. It’s just T Rex x50

#monsterdon #reptilian1999

...Look, guys, we're at quota on military old farts, let's thin this scene out a little, okay? #Monsterdon

They're actually trying here. They're just not any good and the material is even worse. #monsterdon

#monsterdon lol "how the hell am I gonna explain this"? Two bodies in a shallow grave? That's pretty easy, someone murdered them

Does anyone know what kind of processing has been applied to the audio? I want to know so that I never have to hear it again. I've heard it before and it's unbearably irritating. #monsterdon

The old generals have brought in attractive spunky young people to solve the situation. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕵️‍♀️⛏️🐊🐢🦎🐍🐉🦕🦖😱
#Yonggary1999

ugh romiski

"Boom Boom" Is that his nickname? Or an order from the general. #monsterdon

@peribotsarah Apparently the director couldn’t really communicate with the actors which I find profoundly beautiful #Monsterdon

"boom boom"

official military greeting

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

General Boom-Boom? Bam-Bam's son? Good to meet you, sir!

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

Boom-boom? That’s a stripper name.

#Monsterdon

To ... whom are you required to explain this event which happened when you weren't around & you just became aware of? #Monsterdon

"How the hell am I going to explain this?"

WITH A PHOTOGRAPH DAMNIT!

#Monsterdon

that was like three different accents in the same sentence, nicely done Holly

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

What city though? What part of the USA is this?

#Monsterdon

The military seems surprisingly on the ball so far. Very 50s.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian2001 #Yonggary1999

Looks like they replaced one asshole with another. #Monsterdon

One does not simply Independence Day a dinosaur fossil back to life.

More casting fun...

The extras were mostly cast from foreigners working in South Korea, few had experience on a film set.

If an extra showed up from seeing an ad, they were given a quick screen test. This test was unnecessary, it turns out, because they were hired mainly based on whether their schedule allowed them to take part.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian #Reptilian1999

"You're my creation! I made you!"

WHAT

My dude, you had fuck all to do with this OH WAIT he got slaughtered, _awesome_, carry on movie.

#monsterdon

uh bro it's not a pre-emptive strike when they already struck #monsterdon

The Prophesy Has Been Fulfilled!

That's a really good response. Alex Jones needs to say that more

#Monsterdon

Welp, the prof is dead. Good movie everyone.

I'm gonna go bring in the solar panels and start the dish...

#monsterdon I wonder what branch of the service these military guys belong to?

Which service includes both space shuttles and a bunch of randos in generic uniforms?

The prophecy has been fulFILLED! #Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

@arrjay 🤣

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

@Lazarou i like to shout that when the bus arrives

They had a ridiculous amount of fun filming this scene. #Monsterdon #Reptilian1999

We were all happy to see him stomped. Admit it.

This is really beyond horrible dialog.

“This can’t be happening!”

“No! This isn’t real!”

“The prophecy is fulfilled!”

“I can talk to him!”

#Monsterdon

'Uh-oh, Dr Smug got Bambi'd.'

oh thank fuck Campbell was the first to get stomped #monsterdon

did you know that people explode in fireballs when squashed?

#monsterdon

"I made you"

Incorrect. #Monsterdon

professor declaring the prophesy has been fulfilled LOL
#Monsterdon

Gosh I just wish I could know who the antagonist is... it's just left so ambiguous...
#monsterdon

yes, this is what I wanted

#monsterdon

I CAN TALK TO HIM!
#monsterdon #yonggary1999 #reptilian1999

Smashing my lizard button right now

#Monsterdon

Why was there a utility pole even at this dig site #Monsterdon

Did they just try to add elements from Twister to this?

#Monsterdon

HAHAHAHAHA there's just a random car sitting around to be thrown in the air

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

Maybe the photojournalist with the New York accent is their version of Hank Azaria from Godzilla 1998? #monsterdon

DON'T LOOK MARION! DON'T

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

Yonggary is... engorging

#Monsterdon #Reptilian

Those poor workers....

#Monsterdon

@diazona and presumably, this is western US, where half the above ground testing was done

#Monsterdon

Did the aliens know that they were digging up the fossil, or is their arrival an incredible coincidence? #monsterdon #yonggary1999 #reptilian1999

I don’t study bones at all and even to me those look wildly fake & rubbery

#Monsterdon

TOYOTA RACING DESIGN

#monsterdon

That Dr. Campbell guy reminds me of Brent Spinner when he plays Lore.

#Monsterdon

uncovered the remaining bones and ... it's all still half covered.
#reptilian1999 #monsterdon

The photo journalist has ZERO charisma. I don't look forward to seeing more of him. #monsterdon

the bones uh

don't really look uncovered

At the point this movie was made, it was the most expensive film production in South Korea history.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian #Reptilian1999

Ok, smoker photographer talks to himself to make sure the public is following the plot?
#monsterdon
#reptillian1999

@saucerlost Sam Neill would have been amazing.
#Monsterdon

KISS, BOYS #monsterdon

the guy playing mr. black is - i swear - trying to do a riff on some other guy, maybe another version of this character, but it's not clicking. is it just me?

#monsterdon #Yonggary1999

Why is the journalist recapping the story?

#Monsterdon #Reptilian2001 #Yonggary1999

This isn't the movie, this is outtakes from the screenwriters room #Monsterdon #Reptilian2001

Thanks for reminding me that I could be watching a Tarantino movie instead, film.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 #Yonggary1999

It's easy to understand why no one believes him, but at least Dr This Must Be Stopped is fun to watch.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian2001

So it's a non-carbon-based life form that nevertheless has DNA (which is made of carbon compounds) and can be carbon-dated

That actress is supposed to be doing an American accent.

"Donna did a great job, I thought — a young actress that hadn’t done a lot. She’s English, and her American accent was just spot-on."

https://vantagepointinterviews.com/2023/01/20/resurrecting-reptilian-marty-poole-on-screenwriting-the-south-korean-monster-movie-yonggary/

carbon dating, dna analysis, just one of everything in the test department, please.

“Some writings… like the Egyptians or Mayans”

You mean the kind of find that can be the focus of extensive research for decades, even centuries? What’s your academic discipline again, Holly?

#Monsterdon

@trixter both of them are not half-bad actors

#Monsterdon

Okay, the phrasing means he's not an american.

#Monsterdon #Reptilian2001 #Yonggary1999

"I'd love to believe you but I don't"

That's... A helluva line right there. Writing™.

#Monsterdon

They sure say each other's names a lot. #monsterdon

no actual archaeologist in the WORLD would dismiss an unknown writing system as _boring_
