Our Bad Movie Night is moving to Friday, just for kicks!
The Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds is from Japan and we've been sorely lacking in Asian movies. Riki-oh: The Story of Ricky is the only other one I can think of. We're back in the East for this giant monster movie, something the Japanese seem to have an affinity for. Is it because they're generally shorter than everyone else? They probably feel like they're in the land of the giants all the time. There's definitely going to be a Godzilla movie in BMN's future. Anyway, TLoDaMB is fun if only because of the wildly inappropriate music. It's funky.
We're watching Q: The Winged Serpent because David Carradine is in it. He was a tall man so probably didn't have monsters bothering him so much. In searching for monster bird movies I almost settled on The Giant Claw, a 1957 movie with the most ridiculous looking monster in history. But I chickened out showing such an old movie:
What about Lady Terminator? That was pretty asian. According to your trailer, The Giant Claw got 5 stars! Wow!
ReplyDeleteYeah, LT is Indonesian and I actually looked at a map of Indonesia and decided it wasn't Asian-y enough. Maybe that wasn't fair.
ReplyDeletethe giant claw was from some antimatter galaxy light years away?
ReplyDeleteYeah, and it had a anitmatter barrier around it, that's why they couldn't pick it up on radar. That also somehow explained how it could fly through space. I guess it still flapped it's wings in space too. It didn't make a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry but it is hard to get scared of something <20,000,000 years old... I mean 17,000,000 is alarming yes, but hardly scary.
