I mean it wasn't _actually_ good but it was pretty good

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

for semi-cheap 80s that _wasn't_ a straight-up slasher flick, that was pretty good!

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

That was amazing. Mom says "weird. movie." Thanks friends and shoutout to @Taweret #monsterdon #qthewingedserpent

I'm not sure how the birds and the bees applies to mythical flying serpents, but I don't get how a single flying serpent managed to fertilize and lay TWO eggs that it never tended and kept warm... #monsterdon

and Michael Moriarty got a song credit, lol #monsterdon

Some great character actors in this one though, Shelly Desai right at the end and everything

#Monsterdon

@apLundell HA if only!

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

Q will return in Q2 Electric Qgaloo! Thanks for the fun watch everyone! And as always thanks to @Taweret for hosting! #monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

Quinn invented the phrase “you won’t have Jimmy Quinn to kick around no more”. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

A cop with a machine gun drinking a Budweiser before the flying lizard shows up?

#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

What did people in #monsterdon think about That Guy

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

Ah cool ending. Q2.

#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

Wow that was a great Little Shop esque ending lol #monsterdon #qthewingedserpent

So ends another #Monsterdon. Our deepest thanks to @Taweret and to all the posters and lurkers. And remember, #Monsterdoners: Evil dream, go away!

Huh. Was Quinn supposed to have a character arc of some kind? Felt like some development spilled all over the front of his shirt there at the end. #Monsterdon

"The Victim" which one??? #monsterdon

Good monster shots in this one. But not only did Quinn not get eaten, he's still alive at the end.

I am not satisfied.

#Monsterdon

@moira ok, I saw this post and now I'm having flashbacks to having watched it on late night TV at some point.

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

see to establish grounds for a sequel you need to have something that happened in this movie that could conceivably happen again or inspire a different but related thing to happen #monsterdon

ThE END .... ? #monsterdon

I will forever remember the name LARRY COHEN.

#monsterdon

he's gotta get up at least one more time, right? #Monsterdon

So a giant serpent the size of an 18-wheeler fell from the sky and landed somewhere dead in the streets, right? Did any New Yorkers see THAT? #monsterdon

#monsterdon classic ending

Damn, on bad endings this films tops all last #monsterdon I have watched.

She snuck up on the cops and almost had Carradine!
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent

EGG! #monsterdon

Turns out the real monster is the police state.

#monsterdon

@SarraceniaWilds I thought he was the priest who was doing the ritual sacrifices... maybe? I dunno, so hard to keep track

#Monsterdon

Q looks really good but the grainy background shots of NYC are letting her down.
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent

Sequel bait? for this? #monsterdon

You can't kill Quinn before he gives one more scrappy speech.

#Monsterdon

Beer. Best idea yet.
Oh wait, that was budweiser, not beer.

#monsterdon

@Taweret That would be too good

#Monsterdon

Wait, he shot him in the back but the bullet came out of his forehead?
#Monsterdon

Tough little bugger #monsterdon

but Carradine saves Quinn huh. minus several million points. #monsterdon

@ColesStreetPothole You've Seen Cops! You've Seen TimeCops!

But are you ready for...

MIMECOPS!?!?!

(Premiers this fall, only on NBC!)

#monsterdon

i have no idea who this rasputin ass dude is who just keeps dying and getting up and dying and getting up

#Monsterdon

Cute turtle.
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent

Takes a lickin', keeps on tickin.

Cohen on Carradine's career:

"He just did every part that was offered to him, probably because he needed the money. I never went to David Carradine's home anywhere and he had a lot of different homes, that there wasn't a notice posted on the door from the IRS saying the property had been seized for back taxes."

#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

jesus christ, this dude is taking Boromir levels of shots. #monsterdon

"…ever since—hang on a sec"

#Monsterdon

little late on the bang, foley team, c'mon

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

This priest may have inherited some mild invulnerability from his dragon god

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon this dragon says NYPD KKK IDF THEYRE ALL THE SAME

Q who?
They have run out of bullet sounds and are using lasers too?
#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent

Quinn really doesn't like saying prayers.

#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

what is going on? #monsterdon

STALEMATE mother fucker! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Lotta respect for Carradien's aim.

@ColesStreetPothole WINNA

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

#monsterdon They didn't hit the monster once but caused several hundred injuries on the ground and put out some 2000 window panes in neighboring skyscrapers.

conventional weapons, and small arms at that, working???????? #monsterdon

Twas Mime killed the beast. #monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

sir why did you immediately start rolling in the street #monsterdon

Okay, I guess we're not getting denouement here, and there is probably no turn for Jimmy. I approve of the latter!

#Monsterdon

Huh, Emil's building held up to the Q landing, good job Emil

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

hey, evacuations (of a sort)! good for me! #monsterdon

BRING BACK THE MIME COP #Monsterdon

And now they're failing to kill off David Carridin. Disappointment after disappointment.

#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

they spent nothing on fx on this movie, huh?
#monsterdon

Q takes the time to photo bomb!

#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

I just want to remind everyone, that this came out AFTER Star Wars. #monsterdon #q

This whole climax is kinda King Kong in reverse ... Quetzalcoatl flies around the building while folks on the building shoot at her.

#Monsterdon #QtheWingedSerpent

I would ride the sky lizard if it were a ride in Universal Studios.
#Monsterdon

wow, they beefed these special effects of guys getting thrown out of the tower #monsterdon

My mistake it was the Chrysler building not the Empire State.#monsterdon

chryslercam 23, 24, nice picking up the slack, chryslercam 25, 26, 27, good job, let's keep it rolling team!

Larry Cohen's favorite of his own movies: #QTheWingedSerpent

#Monsterdon

feeling sorry for Q now, King Kong moment

#monsterdon

No Ken dolls were harmed in the making of this movie. #monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

My god, the VFX are even worse than I remembered

#monsterdon

I need another magazine up here! I'm all out of stuff to read #monsterdon

THE GUY FALLING CLIP i am going back for that #monsterdon

chyslercam 22 G... go harder next time that composite shot blew donkeys

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

i love the stop motion, absolutely perfect. #monsterdon

WTF ARE THESE EFFECTS LOL #monsterdon #qthewingedserpent

Mime Cop is making this movie, but I SO WISH they had him not able to speak, just making hand gestures and miming things to his partners.

#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

Clearly, Ray Harryhausen's technology has its limits. #monsterdon #q

I was not prepared for Shaft to partner with a mime to track a killer claymation bird

happy father's day to me!

#monsterdon

chryslercam 19, 20, 21, 22 GO

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

Hello Fish and Wildlife Department? I'm not sure if this is your purview but i didn't know who else to call. There is a large, um, dragon of some sort flying outside my apartment...

#monsterdon

Aaaand that's why!
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Is it day or night? It was dusk, then it was night, now there's daylight... is this because Qeutz is in control of sunlight or something?

(Isn't tracer ammunition very illegal? At the very least wouldn't you want to not fire magnesium rounds over a city?)

Chryslercam 18 GO!

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

chryslercam 17 GO!

#QTheWingedSerpent #Monsterdon

Is David Carradine teleporting? Or did this sequence get the hacksaw treatment in the editing bay?

#Monsterdon

These cops couldn't hit a barn from the inside.

#Monsterdon #QTheWingedSerpent

Richard Roundtree is lucky, not everyone gets a mime to react to their death. #Monsterdon

Was that cop drinking a beer? #monsterdon

yeap mr policeman, drink berofe shoot
#monsterdon

#monsterdon I love a mime with a gun

chryslercam 15, 16, go!
