Kino announces Blu-ray of YONGARY, MONSTER FROM THE DEEP

[Joseph Goodman]

Here's a review on DVDtalk, with screencaps:

That commentary sounds like a winner; I've seen next to nothing about the making of this one published before.

Is this the same master that aired on MonstersHD back when MonstersHD, well, existed?

Sounds like the commentary makes this a must buy.

Been out of the loop for a bit, have this on its way to me from Amazon. Looking forward to the commentary.

Received this in the mail yesterday. Watched it with the commentary on. The transfer is great, which isn't surprising since the DVD release was as well, and I believe the commentary states that its from the same master. I'm curious if you can see Yongary pick up and throw that civilian during his initial rampage on the dvd, because its pretty easy to miss that he has him in hand in the bluray let alone see him tossed to the ground.

The commentary has a lot of historical context particularly about the relationship between Japan and Korea, which makes some scenes in the movie a bit more interesting, particularly when Yongary destroys a government building but is pulled away from destroying the pagoda national monument. A tidbit at the end of the commentary seems to say that Yongary actually survives at the end of the movie. Need to relisten to that because I was doing a bit of multitasking at the time.

Anyway, worth the money. The movie seemed a bit more enjoyable without listening to the dub.

I'm gonna have to snag this at some point. I really don't have an excuse now that it's on blu-ray. And it seems the commentary is well worth it too.

This is dubbed only? WTF?! This is 2016 not 2001.

Wow, such disrespect. Thanks for sharing that.

For as much of a completest as I consider myself I just can't bring myself to order this. Just not that big of a fan of the movie.


Glad to hear that it's a pretty great sounding release though! (Beyond the dub only issue)

If you thought Yongary was an odd choice, you'll love this -

...in... in 3D?!

[Psycho Soldier]

I have to think long and hard about whether or not I should preorder A*P*E when the time comes. I've never seen it, I don't know if I can afford to pass it up, but I've heard it's hilariously bad.

[tbeasley]

More cool news!

You know what, I'll happily pass on A*P*E and get One Million Years B.C. instead.

Amazon.com will be having a big sale on Kino Studio Classics releases during the month of June, including YONGARY. So if you've held off, this might be a good time to pick it up.

How much is Yongary going to be?
