PULGASARI (1985)
https://youtu.be/guENqa88x4c?si=g1r7cKRFsIaYPbVb
A passion project of the late North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-il, and somehow not as big a stinker as learning another cat's living under my house (YUCK!)......
So anyway, a blacksmith in a farming village learns his protégé is the leader of rebel bandits, & he's taking half the town's young men with him.... The next day, a local magistrate shows up saying the king needs more swords, but there's no more Iron, so he has to take all the farming tools & pots & pans, etc..... The villagers protest, then the rebels try to intervene, but the rebels & the old man get captured...
As the old man is dying, he sculpts a handful if rice into a tiny figurine.... His daughter receives it, and while sewing a shirt, pricks her finger with a needle & spills a drop of blood onto the figurine, wich comes to life....
The next day, she and her brother find it eating metal in the blacksmith shop, and has now grown to the size of a hand puppet... They find out the leader of the rebels is about to be executed, but when they show up, the hand puppet attacks the guards & eats their swords, growing to the size of some guy wearing a kaiju suit on a break...
They return to the village, but they don't like this thing eating their pots & pans, so they run it off....
The king sends an army to take care of the villagers, but they prove to be a formidable force with land slides of rocks, boulders & pointed sticks, so the general decides to starve them out....
It almost works, but Pulgasari comes back, & fights alongside the rebels, & grows to full on kaiju after eating the soldiers' weapons....
The midi-synth soundtrack is pretty grating, & the sword fights are pretty goofy...
Still, the pacing is pretty good, and the number of extras in the battle scenes & the kaiju suit indicate some effort was put into this film....
I read about the making of this movie last year in a book called A KIM JONG IL PRODUCTION. He KIDNAPPED the director and a famous actress from South Korea for the sole purpose of making movies for him - and this was one of them.
Great book! Now I need to see the movie.

Except . . . "there's something wrong with Ben."
This was a surprisingly good flick with some great gore effects and a very scary rabid chimp running amok! 4/5
