* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Yongary is said to be a 'Giant Reptile.' [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} So]] [[Franchise/{{Gamera}} what]] [[Film/{{Rodan}} else]] [[Film/TheBeastFromTwentyThousandFathoms is]] [[Film/VaranTheUnbelievable new]] [[Film/{{Gorgo}} right?]]

''Yongary: Monster from the Deep'' is a 1967 South Korean/Japanese [[{{Tokusatsu}} Toku]] {{Kaiju}} film directed by Kim Ki-duk and featuring special effects by Kenichi Nakagawa. An attempt to [[FollowTheLeader ape the success]] of the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Gamera}}'' series, it tells the story of a monster awoken by nuclear weapons, which then rises up to wreak havoc on a populated city. NeverHeardThatOneBefore, right?

* DiabolusExNihilo: Yongary's origins are even more vague than your average Kaiju; he just...appears, after having been awoken by a Nuclear Test "Somewhere in the Middle East." Whether the nukes mutated him, making him the fire-breathing, oil-devouring monstrosity he is, or if he was just born that way, is never discussed.

* AppliedPhlebotinum: Yongary is defeated by...concentrated ammonia, which does...something. Also, the itch ray. It's never explained how it works, what the "side effects" of it are, or why it caused Yongary's horn to glow.

* MoodWhiplash: Like most Kaiju films, the ScienceHero finds the right AppliedPhlebotinum to defeat the monster, but the effect it has on Yongary is...[[BloodierAndGorier not what you'd expect]].

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Yongary is said to be a 'Giant Reptile', but what he ''really'' resembles is [[CaptainErsatz curiously reminiscent of]] Gamera foe [[Film/GameraVsBarugon Barugon]]. [[SarcasmMode I'm sure this was purely coincidental]].

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Yongary dies [[spoiler: seizing in agony '''''while bleeding out the rectum'''''.]]

* FollowTheLeader: Apes the "Nuclear Weapons awaken and/or mutate a Prehistoric Monster" thing from ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' and the "Monster forms unlikely bond with small child" schtick from ''Franchise/{{Gamera}}''.
