"Daddy loves ET". No joke. Here's the info;
"Compare to this guy. Godzilla is a pussy". *Cue laugh track*
Ah, I think not. Actually a laugh track could've done wonders. "REPTILIAN" (aka "2001 YONGGARY") is virtually a trashy b-monster fare in the tradition of "GODZILLA". Or better put, Sci-fi original rubbish, yet amusingly dumb-fun to poke at. I would highlight dumb too. It's actually a Korean film, but consists of an all Caucasian cast and is a follow up to the 1967 film "YONGGARY MONSTER FROM DEEP".
We start off with a dull first-half, where you endure second-rate dialogues, workplace accidents, apocalyptic ranting and lifeless acting led by a tool performance. It's like they gave all the important roles to those who are usually extras in the background. You know the ones that don't get any lines - that when they open their mouths you understand why. Their stilted delivery of the already awful and random dialogues just adds to the; you-must-be-kidding-factor.
So after biding some time (45 minutes of it), the fossilized bones of our monster Yonggary (which sounds like 'young gary' when pronounced and supposedly it smells old too?!) is finally resurrected by aliens orbiting the earth in their quest to destroy mankind. Now this is where the real fun begins. And the trash talk starts. "Mister Monster I like you to meet my little friend. BBQ this bucko"!!!! We get sequences of young gary smashing up a city, taking on helicopters, followed by jets, then laser equipped rangers in jetpacks and finally another kaiju-like monster in a prehistoric clash for the ages. However it sounds a lot cooler than it actually is, yet, it's eventful and provides the entertainment. Now a word of warning... it's done lazily I might add with blotchy, old-school computer graphics. Sometimes even the background scenery followed the same suit, when not using flimsy sets and model miniatures. It's like something you would get out of a video game. So making "REPTILIAN" a true product (or otherwise fossil) of its time.
