About Young-gu and the Dinosaur Zzu Zzu
Young-gu hides in a cave during a game of hide-and-seek. There he finds a humongous dinosaur egg, which soon hatches. The baby dinosaur, Dinosaur Zzu Zzu, wanders around and is saved by Young-gu. They become fast friends. Running from the police and thieves who are after the dinosaur, the two friends hide in a cave but are soon found out and captured. At that time, Zzu Zzu's mom comes to Seoul to find her baby. Chaos and mayhem ensues and the army is sent out to stop the dinosaur. A tremendous battle between the Zzu Zzu's mom and the army takes place and although she rescues Zzu Zzu and Young-gu from the thieves, she is killed by air force's missile. Despite Young-gu's pleas to stop, the police shoot at Zzu Zzu. Zzu Zzu saves her own life by faking her death.
Directed by Shim Hyung-rae, Young-gu and the Dinosaur Zzu Zzu leans on a strong ensemble — Shim Hyung-rae, Choe Sun-Seok — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1993.
