One of the most stupid monsters to ever hit your screen, it's:
THE GIANT CLAW
THE CLAW/THE MARK OF THE CLAW
That bird is extraterrestrial, it comes from outer space. From some Godforsaken antimatter galaxy millions and millions of light years from the Earth.
IMDB
One of the great b-movies of all time I must say, this film made quite an impression. Any movie bold enough to feature a GIGANTIC ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD (Hehehehehe!) is awesome!
Here goes with a description of the roller coaster plot. Planes start mysteriously disappearing in conjunction with reports of UFOs, but nothing shows up on tracking radar. Pretty soon we see the menace and the monster is eating everything in sight, it is constantly hungry, maybe we should add "DIABETIC" to it's description. (Or HYPOGLYCEMIC - depending on the sugar content of people and aircraft.)
Scientists discover why it the bird is impervious to our weapons, it generates a antimatter shield! Oh yes! And it came to Earth to nest! Oh yes! Well, the concept was not arrived upon by a infinite number of monkeys after a infinite amount of time. I believe there was one retarded lemur with two or three etch-a-sketches. Make sure you notice how the bird seems to change size, a helicopter looks larger than a bomber compared to it, etc. Mitch, you know - the electrical engineer, takes a stroll out to the nest and shoots the egg apart, no antimatter shield for it... ...and then comes up with a plan to short out "The Claw's" shield using mesons (subatomic particles), I'll leave the ending to surprise you.
To top it all off the winged terror is really absurd looking, forget the premise, forget the execution - who the heck came up with that puppet? A terrific b-movie, it makes me giggle constantly.
