Overview
After Dr. Kim is gone missing trying to find dinosaurs traces, the young and pretty reporter Kang Ok-hi is sent by her chief editor to investigate on Dr. Kim’s new theory. She disguises as a maid and searches Dr. Kim’s house to steal his thesis. During the day, Dr. Kim investigates about some archeological work nearby the coast and manages to discover dinosaurs footprints. Suddenly, a mysterious giant bird (who looks like a prehistoric bird with a chicken head) appears and some disastrous incidents occur one after another. Dr. Kim believes that the only way to prevent those is by destroying the bird’s eggs. He then starts to search for the eggs as new monsters appear and rampage the nearby cities.

Viewing Notes
SRS Cinema recently released this on DVD/Blu but I’m glad it was available to view this “lost film” on Prime bc it is not really one to own. Firstly, it looks incredible, as tho it was made in the last few years. Pristine transfer, which is so wild for a lost film from the 1980s given how many other films from that decade haven’t had nearly as great PQ. Secondly, I thought I recognized the kaiju… and that’s because the kaiju footage was taken from the RETURN OF ULTRAMAN series. The fashioned and shot a story around this footage that kinda sorta works but is also clearly separate from the kaiju stuff. As it is, it’s just okay mostly as a novelty but nothing worth remembering or revisiting.
