"The Giant Claw!"

According to some sources, the actors seeing the finished movie, and the horrible looking giant bird were mortified.

1. Didn't MST3K do a riff on this stinker?

If not, should have.

2. back when I was a wee kid this movie

gave me night mares,...I could handle Godzilla, but this bird gave me nightmares for a long time.

5. Hahaha! It looks like a sock puppet!

You must have been very wee, indeed. Then again, when my older sister took me to see a vampire movie (my first movie ever, at the ripe old age of 5), I ran screaming from the theater into the lobby. My sister, who was with her tweenie friends, had to come get me and was mortified.

3. Looks like they spent $16.47 for the bird "Monster" You can see the wires holding up it's ass.

I've seen more scary birds at Pet Land.

7. Good ole Jeff Morrow......

anyone remember him in anything else?

I can just see him, propped up on his neighborhood bar, moodily nursing his 10th drink and muttering....
" I shoulda taken that role in Godzilla. It would have been all so different".

15. Interesting.

Like many people, I enjoy identifying the "B" actors who were in a lot of films....sometimes called characters.
and I really enjoy the credits of older films, where highly unusual names pop up, in teh days before people changed their names to sound better.

10. That bird looked like it belonged on the Muppets, or something

Big Bird's great evil grandmother or something.

I am ashamed to admit I watched the whole thing.

[Archae]

11. Heck, I watched the whole thing too, when it was broadcast.

When the bird finally appeared, I couldn't stop laughing.

13. They got it in the end though!

I was petrified through the entire movie!

14. Did you notice the resemblance to Donald Trump?

The HAIR. The Eyes, the smile, the neck too. The whole package!

16. I remember seeing that in the Drive - in

back in Pennsylvania. We hid in the trunk of the car and snuck into the drive in . Great times, rotten movie.

That was just on the Syfy channel a few days ago and my wife and I roared at the so-called "special" effects. God, how times have changed.
