Ugh. I just sorted it out in my head. It's the 2001 re-release. That's the one that was marketed as Reptilian in the US.
It was originally titled Yongari, just like the 1964 classic it's (very loosely) based on. #Reptilian2001 #Monsterdon
i've seen this before but it would have been at least 15, maybe 20 years ago. i've wiped most of it from my memory

Reptilian (1999) #monsterdon now playing on https://miru.miyaku.media :miyaku:
Tea is GO
Leftovers are GO
Visiting relatives have GONE but
my window to write this this week ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT EXIST so THIS IS ALL YOU GET
#monsterdon is GO for launch
In the category of so laughably bad the pointless destruction is the funniest part, I give #Reptilian2001 5 out of 5 stars.
There was so, so much to mock:
Bad acting - check
Nonsensical plot - check
Incoherent setting - check
Budget drained by computer glop - check, check, check
Well, the alien space ship and the monsters looked interesting, even nothing they did made sense.
Truly a #Monsterdon for the ages! Thanks everyone for choosing to suffer through this together, Thanks @Taweret for hosting, and thanks @cherizilla for the bingo card.
"Icho, we thought you were dead" kinda got used to the idea to be honest #Monsterdon #Yongary1967
Yongary: "Spiders! Spiders!! On me!! On me!!!" #Monsterdon #Yongary1967
Yongary: "Where tf did I drop my keys???" #Monsterdon #Yongary1967

Oh no. I accidentally looked up more kaiju tiki mugs. Hah hah. I'm in danger.

@combatwombat @srol @Terencio @lightspill gotta make sure the important info is recorded
@srol @Terencio @lightspill Important information. Adding the field as we speak. #monsterdon
LOL this come through so late. #Monsterdon
So Icho isn't just an annoying little shit but also racist #Monsterdon #Yongary1967
Have fun, #monsterdon friends. I'll be missing tonight.
I'll also be looking for scholarly reviews of tonight's selection. :) Thanks.
@Terencio @lightspill There's the scene right after the credits where the rival reporter is tipping off Bud Black to the dig because he thinks it's a nonstory that will kill Bud's career. During this incredibly crucial scene that will absolutely have relevance in the film, the rival is half-shirted in bed and his partner is clamoring all over his left side. But the right side remains exposed for #nipplewatch
No, you had to leave your honeymoon, I'm pretty sure that means you're *not* over the target area #Monsterdon #Yongary1967
Is this a win for air force stock footage?
I wish I could feed #reptilian1999 to an AI model and use it to answer all my questions like any character of this movie
It would be awesome #Monsterdon
Button Moon, brought to you by the Republic of Korea #Monsterdon #Yongary1967
@jivens O'Neil saved us all! #Monsterdon #Reptilian1999
@lightspill I should explain #nipplewatch is a tally of the total number of nipples in a #monsterdon film. It means in the hour and 40 minute runtime, only one nipple was ever seen.
"We'll get him a two week vacation when he returns... without you" #Monsterdon #Yongary1967
Ah yes, that most typical groom behavior *checks notes* falling asleep at the start of the honeymoon #Monsterdon #Yongary1967
Meanwhile on an outerspace balcony... #Monsterdon #Yongary1967
"You can play with these instead. These robots *cure* erectile dysfunction, instead of causing it. You little scamp."
"You can't shoplift from a lab. It's not a shop. You tit, you're never going to get laid."
"Don't care, got my computer."
Nothing else in this movie can possibly be as dangerous as that Corvair #Monsterdon #Yongary1967
@LingLass I definitely enjoyed the stompy moments the most! #Monsterdon
Please tell me bowtie kid is the first to die #Monsterdon #Youngary1967
"He's a wonderful gifted lad.
He showed me his new invention. He calls it a 'visual novel'.
He says you can make the ladies in it undress if you pick the right dialogue options."
"That would be like falling in love with a computer" uh-oh AI foreshadowing #Monsterdon #Youngary1967
Watching Yonggary from 1967 on Miru.miyaku.media as a second feature now.
"Must you be going?"
"He's fallen in love with his computer."
" 'research' "

O'Neil gave his life for humanity by diving into a diamond on the forehead of a kaiju to release him from alien control via a spaceship at the moon bent on destroying humanity. Never forget that.
To those who enjoyed the quote I posted (#Monsterdon #Reptilian1999 ), the backstage from which it's pulled is a bit of true art.
"dramatic orchestral music continues.
(...)
Ominous orchestral music."
This subtitler is clearly very descriptive.
#monsterdon And what happened to that guy who chickened out and requested (at the last possible minute) to be "removed from the operation"? Did he live? Did I miss what happened to him?
@paco Iβm right there with you. I did the same thing several times.

You creatures! You're so cantankerous!

@josh0 excellent use of this GIF
(I will be watching SG-1 later tonight)
π¦MONSTERDON Goodbye!
This one felt very long, but the Real-Time Film Analysis Squad made it go by quickly! Another fun evening! (I stopped receiving any Monsterdon posts 20 minutes before the movie ended π, so will check out the remaining when they arrive).
β€οΈ And thank you @Taweret for hosting tonight's reptilian relaxer.
π ±οΈ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Someone shares a dinosaur fact"
So thatβs where all those IBM 5170 disappeared to: they needed them to do the CGI for this βmovieβ! :blobcatgiggle2:
#monsterdon
So that was #Monsterdon! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting; @cherizilla for the bingo; @JoeWynne for trivia; @ryan for the @miru streamβ¦
and a giant FUCK YOU to everyone who voted for a Critters movie and not this
And Yonggary is gently forced to fuck off over the sea.

The producer was shouting Tango! Delta! Omega! Abort!! but the director ignored him. We have a kill! WE did it!
Thanks, @Taweret and all you #monsterdon freaks!
I started with them when they gave me a Yonggary Affinity Visa Card.
why do the military generals have a little mouse plushie...
@jonny put some extra Jesus in those Jesus bolts
Man! This is totally insane! #Monsterdon #Reptilian1999
Oh, now they're going to do a sequel on an Island. Damnit.
gonna need thorazine by the megalitre
nope, i hated this movie and everything in it. burn it to the ground and salt the earth behind it. i could have been watching The Hunger.
#monsterdon Citibank paid HANDSOMELY for that product placement
I wonder if Citibank paid for that placement...
#monsterdon
#reptillian1999
"We're taking him to a farm upstate where he can play with the kaiju." #Monsterdon
:popcat:
Okay I actually appreciate the shot of hauling the kaiju out of the city, that was nice
Thank god young Gary didn't destroy the CitBank building
I bet Citibank was super happy with their product placement in this movie. #Monsterdon
The final shotβ¦truly reminiscent of Fellini's La Dolce Vitaβ¦absolute cinema
"To a big deserted island. Full of squirrels for him to eat. That's what Young Gary likes, yeah? An ecosystem unsuitable for sustaining him?"
Young Gary will return in Young Gary 2: The emaciation.
Citibank. We know so little about films, we let them put our name in here. #Monsterdon
Wells Fargo and Citibank get some prime advertisement.
That was too easy.
