Where is Jackie Kong? Did she fall off the face of the earth? I have a friend who's been trying to track her down to get an autograph.
shareOk grrdevin here's a post for ya, it's finally been released on DVD, I just bought a copy myself. Yeah yeah yeah this movie is stupid as hell and twice as cheap, but for some reason I can't quite put my finger on I still like it, perhaps its the fact it doesn't take itself too seriously? Then again I'm a guy whom owns the Godzilla DVD box-set and enjoys movies like "The Crawling Eye", so take my opinion in that context.
Heck, I might as well promote my website - http://www.andybob.com
I too own the DVD. I was browsing the horror section at Best Buy and saw the cover. I nearly p!ssed myself in surprise. I had bought the VHS at a flea market because I thought this would never, ever, ever get a DVD release, but lo and behold, there were three copies on the shelf. Media Blasters sure did a good job with the DVD too.

You can count me in as another fan of this uproariously awful movie. Man, is this flick a total riot. Is it me, or does the monster in the pic bear a hilarious resemblance to a big slimy, upright, walking one-eyed humanoid penis? The drive-in scene is my all-time favorite moment, especially when the weed-tokin' stoner dude gets yanked out of his car window when he makes the fatal error of telling the beastie to *beep* off!" I nearly wet my pants the first time I saw this particular moment occur on screen; it's a hysterically funny scene. I too own the excellent Media Blasters DVD. It's heartening to know that unsung 80's splatter monster trash like this baby are being (no pun intended) reissued on disc for both longtime fans and newfound viewers to appreciate. I give this honey an 8 out of 10.
shareI agree, although my rating is more of a 7.5 out of 10. I swear the monster in the flick shown at the drive-in (the movie-within-the-movie where the chick gets raped by the monster) is the same puppet they used for the actual creature. I suppose the Being shaped itself to look like the creature in the movie it was watching... Funny moments for me included the aforementioned "*beep* off!" scene, the part where Ruth Buzzi's character unleashes an operatic wail upon being grabbed by the forked tongue, Mortimer getting smacked around in the warehouse, and - my favorite - that one guy getting grabbed by the forked tongue, then flying through a glass window, in an utterly confusing scene. I swear that scene had me choking with laughter.

I'll throw my vote behind the scene with the doper getting yanked out of the car too, no matter how many times I watch that scene it still cracks me up, and unlike many of the other funny moments that one was actually INTENDED to be funny!
"*Bleep* off..... ARGH!"
People like to beat this movie up and for the most part it deserves it, but it does have a clever sense of humor and for that I think its a fews notches above it's reputation.
I like this movie, too. I don't care how many people trash it -- let THEM try and make a movie.
They'll find out it's not so easy.
I have a few VHS tapes of this.
I once played this movie for some friends of mine who were dumbfounded.
