There has been some discussion about the actors. I cannot solve your problems, but The South Korean filmmakers hired American and British actors so they could be successful globally with the film. This was evidently not thought through fully.

Unfortunately, the director spoke no English. This may explain something.

Filmmakers were so pumped about this film, that they showed a two-minute preview titled "Yonggary 1998" at the Cannes Film Festival.

They were looking for potential international distributors. Warner Bros. and United International Pictures showed interest.

At one point in tonight's feature, there is a disparaging remark made about Godzilla.

Please have a stress ball/blanket/Godzilla plushie/ice cream bowl ready.

The film's opening in South Korea in 1998 had unfinished CGI work due to running out of budget. The opening was deemed successful, so filmmakers decided to expand and change the film drastically.

They added new CG effects, sets, and stories. They adjusted the story and began reshooting. That's the North American release we are watching.

After all the new enhancements for Reptilian, it was a commercial flop.
