Space Monster Wangmagwi (Korean: 우주괴인 왕마귀; RR: Ujugoein Wangmagwi; lit. Devil King, the Space Monster) is a 1967 South Korean kaiju film. It is the oldest surviving kaiju film to be made in South Korea,[1][2] and the first all-Korean science fiction film.[3] It was inspired by monster movies from Japan and America, such as Godzilla and King Kong. Particularly, the monster kidnaps a woman in a manner which is reminiscent of King Kong.[4] The film is about an alien monster attacking South Korea, and features several comedic vignettes, all of which take place during the monster's rampage.[5]
