Pulgasari is a North Korean-Japanese co-produced feature film produced in 1985, a giant-monster film similar to the Japanese Godzilla. It was produced by South Korean director Shin Sang-ok, who had been kidnapped in 1978 by North Korean intelligence on the orders of Kim Jong-il, son of the then ruling Kim Il-sung. Staff from Japan's Toho company, which is responsible for the Godzilla series, participated in creating the film's Tokusatsu or special effects. The then-current man in the "Godzilla" suit played Pulgasari, and when the film was released in Japan in 1998, he was quoted as saying he preferred Pulgasari to the CGI American Godzilla (1998). The special effects were done by another Toho employee, Teruyoshi Nakano. The film is about a doll made of rice by a man while in prison, which on coming into contact with blood, grows and grows to become a giant metal-eating monster. Jonathan Ross stated that the film is intended to be a propaganda metaphor for the effects of unchecked capitalism and the power of the collective.
