Kim Jong-Il, the North Korean communist dictator and the man who brought Pulgasari (1985) to the daikaiju eiga world, died at age 69.
He allegedly died two days before the death announcement.
Il imported Kenpachiro Satsuma (the Heisei Godzilla suit-actor) and Teruyoshi Nakano (spfx director) from Japan for the Pulgasari project.
Above, Kim Jong-Il's "Pulgasari."Kim Jong-Il will be succeeded by his son, Kim Jong-Un. Interesting name. Maybe his dad was a fan of 7-Up and named him after it.
You know, the UN-cola?
