Here's a couple of great bits from this 1967 giant monster classic, at first there's some guys gorging themselves with some smaltzy music and some great dialogue going on, then there's some rockin' music in this club about to get destroyed and all the people look like they are on some kind of Soma! That is followed by the scene where Yongary is woke up by the kid & starts dancin' to the rockin' beat! Unique to the genre I do believe! This, almost more than anything else, trust us, You really need to see! The composer of the music for this film, Jeong-geun Jeon has 283 credits to his history if you check it on IMDB, now that is quite an accomplishment!! Pretty sure Yongary is doing The "Shing-A-Ling!"Yongary, Monster From The Deep
Listen closely around the point whee the kid starts talking and you can hear "Ariang," a traditional Korean folk melody, on the soundtrack!
ReplyDeleteSouth Korea would have to wait until the 21st Century with THE HOST to re-enter the giant monster sweepstakes!
