Marilyn Baker- Movie star who goes to Korea to make a film in which she gets raped. She gets carried around by the "A*P*E" until rescued by the Korean army.
Colonel Davis- What is up with this guy? He's the biggest jerk (and one of the worst actors) I have ever seen! His main purpose in the movie is (a failed attempt) to give it an American "feel," and to spout out some great one-liners too.
Captain Kim- Captain of the local Korean police force. He chauffeurs Tom around in a jeep for most of the movie, making him one of many pointless characters.
Everyone Else- Runs from the "A*P*E" or has no purpose in this film except as scenery.
The Ape- An actor in a bad gorilla suit trying to pass himself off as a 36 foot Ape. How bad is the suit you ask? At one point (when the Ape battles the shark) you can actually see the actor's skin because his "gorilla glove" was slipping off. Killed by the Korean Army.
Guy: "Oh shit..."
Captain Kim: "He says he saw footprints 5 to 6 feet long belonging to some sort of monster."
Kim's Daughter: "Monsta?!"
Kim's Son: "What kind of monster?"
Captain Kim: "Eat your breakfast kids or ... I'll become a monster."
Colonel Davis: "Oh hello, hello? If you should bump into him, ask him if he's King Kong."
Colonel Davis: "What the hell are you looking at? My fly open or something?"
Colonel Davis: "Let's see him dance for his organ grinder now."
Marilyn: "Oh Tom, why? Why?"
Tom: "He was just too big, for a small world like ours."
