Space Monster Wangmagwi,(우주괴인 왕마귀) also known as Big Monster Wangmagwi or Wangmagwi, is a 1967 South Korean kaiju film. It was the first giant monster film to be made in South Korea[1] and the first all-Korean made science fiction film.[2] It features a space variation on the plot to King Kong.[3] It was inspired by Japanese kaiju films such as Godzilla as well as King Kong. Wangmagwi held the Guinness World Record for the most extras featured in the same place, before the record was topped by the 1982 film Gandhi.[4]
