}} ''Pulgasari'' () is a 1985 North Korean monster film produced by Korean Film Studio and directed by Shin Sang-ok and Chong Gon Jo. The film starred Chang Son Hui and Pak Sung Ho and featured special effects by Duk Ho Kim, supervised by Teruyoshi Nakano. The film was loosely based on the legend of the Bulgasari. Director Shin had been kidnapped in 1978 by North Korean intelligence on the orders of Kim Jong-il, son of the then-ruling Kim Il-sung.〔Backrow Banter, (The Dear Leader, The Director And The Director’s Wife )〕 Kim was a lifelong admirer of the director, as well as Godzilla and other Kaiju films. He kidnapped the former director and his wife, famous actress Choi Eun-hee, with the specific purpose of making fantasy/propaganda films for the North Korean government.〔 Kim Jong-il also produced ''Pulgasari'' and all the films that Sang-ok made before he and Choi managed to escape from their minders while on tour in Austria.〔 Teruyoshi Nakano and the staff from Japan's Toho studios, the creators of Godzilla, participated in creating the film's special effects.〔 Kenpachiro Satsuma – the stunt performer who played Godzilla from 1984 to 1995 – portrayed Pulgasari, and when the ''Godzilla'' reimagining was released in Japan in 1998, he was quoted as saying he preferred ''Pulgasari'' to Emmerich's "Godzilla".〔(First NK Monster Faces Hollywood-Born Godzilla in Japan ) The People's Korea〕 == Synopsis == In feudal Korea, during the Goryeo Dynasty, a king controls the land with an iron fist, subjecting the peasantry to misery and starvation. An old blacksmith who was sent to prison creates a tiny figurine of a monster by making a doll of rice. When it comes into contact with the blood of the blacksmith's daughter, the creature springs to life, becoming a giant metal-eating monster named Pulgasari. The evil King becomes aware that there is a rebellion being planned in the country, which he intends to crush, but he runs into Pulgasari, who fights with the peasant army to overthrow the corrupt monarchy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pulgasari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
