Credit where it's due, Marian landed that shot right in the center of mass in an extremely stressful situation.

No explanation for why she only had a single dress on for the entire duration of the movie but her firearms work passed muster.

"I think your father is a cross between Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ." _leans in for a kiss_ "I'm engaged to be married, Jack."

Yeah, that is about the correct response to a line like that.

that was better than i expected in a bad movie.

don't get me wrong, it's a bad movie but it's totally camp.

btw: the ziggy stardust looking rent-boy on the poster? i think it was also a reference to the ROCKIE HORROR PICTURE SHOW, which at the time was probably being workshopped to actors and a smaller audience before going into full theater production.

LMAO they brought the Black reporter in to serve as witness and now we have a werewolf POTUS free to terrorize women and kill at his leisure... just like they all do but without an army.

so i guess american imperialism is the globalist werewolf friends we made along the way.

Characters in the helicopter ranked by how much you can relate to them.

1) The Chinese Foreign Minister, losing his mind because he's in a helicopter with a werewolf and a madman
2) The Werewolf, wolfing out and resigned to his fate
3) Whoever is driving the helicopter
4) The President, trying to gaslight everyone, including himself

Oh wow, the murders are in the shape of a pentagram....didn't see that one coming.

"So errr, as it turns out....often the head of a werewolf investigation.....might actually be a werewolf.....just saying guys....it does happen..."

oh I think we saw Sunglasses the Spy at the end of the helicopter landing fight scene.

I wonder if Sunglasses plays some role in designating the Werewolf's targets... like maybe he has a magic pendant or something that makes the pentagram appear on the hands of those he designates... but maybe I'm over thinking this?

I did not have "Star Trek TOS like wrestling scene as the President and the Werewolf exit the helicopter, surrounded by guards also like if this was a fighting game" on my list of movie predictions

It's interesting how this movie has a lot of dialog but avoids explaining very much. It mostly relies on the audience to read between the lines to figure out what's going on. Which doesn't always work, because the story is insane.

I tell you what, if I come through this movie watching with nothing more than one new strategy for escaping interminable meetings, it will have been worthwhile.

I one hundred percent expected the president to get a bowling ball in the face just then. To be honest, the way this scene is going, it might still happen. Are these supposed to be high *squints at a sheaf of papers* jinks?

I'd like to note that is really weird, even by standards. Like there's a werewolf hiding on top of a car before eating a reporter and then later hiding in a toilet, and also a racist plot by the attorney general to frame the black panthers, a love triangle with the President's daughter and also a Roma-Communist conspiracy involving werewolves and pentagrams and also lots of (ironic?) conservative political bloviating and strange messianic statements.

#Monsterdon Dr. Kiss (???) was that guy from Star Trek / "Plato's Stepchildren" -- Michael Dunn.

He's such a random edition to this movie. Like we crossed-paths with a whole different monster movie. "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead" style, I mean.

Even if most of us do not normally turn into a werewolf, I think we can relate to Jack slowly werewolfing himself in the oval office, as most of us at one point have probably been underlings in surreal meetings who wished we could run outside and howl at the moon.

Is this doctor trying to give the president the brush-off?

...it is odd how much of this movie takes place in restrooms.

(That circular foot-operated handwashing station brings me back to ancient school washrooms from the early 80s.)

Jack is using his transformation as an excuse to leave the meeting. So it’s good for something.

How to fix the supreme court; two opposing solutions, envisioned as roommates:
1) Wednesday Addams solution: pack the supreme court with goth girls
2) Enid Sinclair solution: pack washington with werewolves.

So the MC briefly has a pentagram tattoo appear, which he shows to the other guy in the love triangle. I'm disappointed there's only one star;I think the MC should get a star for every person he eats, like a fighter pilot.

As far as I can tell, this movie is about a communist plot, the best kind of plot. The Hungarians, presented as superstitious backwoods people have secretly turned the MC into a werewolf and I guess are getting him to eat a bunch of prominent pentagram-designated conservatives to... um... block a supreme court justice's appointment?

I confess that I had Mrs. Crabtree on my list of candidates for early exit from the movie. Does that make me team werewolf?

@jonny @Lazarou I read that as Dr Kiss is Henry Kissinger, and the lack of violence was one monster recognizing another. What struck me was the absolutely batshit communal wash basins in the restroom where he disappears, we had these in my elementary school, along with the towel "dispensers" that were like a giant roll of tea towels that was rumored to never get changed, it just infinitely looped like an 8-track cassette... #monsterdon
