Space Monster Wangmagwi, also known as Big Monster Wangmagwi, is a 1967 South Korean kaiju film. The film has never been released on any home media format, and no bootleg recordings are known to exist.
The film, featuring the title monster on a Godzilla style rampage, has been shown at Korean film festivals, and the Korean Movie Database lists three prints of the film in the Korean film archive. Detailed reviews of the film from these screenings are available online.
It is claimed that the film featured more extras than any other film (roughly 157,000) other than the 1982 film Gandhi (at 300,000 extras), and this claim
has even appeared in The Guinness Book of Records. In 2008, Korean graphic
designer Hong Gi-hun created a series of vinyl toys based on several Korean monster movies, including Wangmagwi. Hong is said to have attended multiple screenings of the film over a period of a few years, confirming that, while unreleased on home media, Space Monster Wangmagwi is still occasionally shown in its home country.
