This movie starts with a title sequence using the famous 90s Star Trek Font and no pictures or anything in the background, and then we go to California or somewhere where holes are spontaneously appearing in a mountain, and then the mountain hatches into a giant reptile looking monster.
Some movie rednecks are watching this shouting "avalanche!" and then they get scared and run away.
So the plot has started and I am confident my prediction is already correct. #monsterdon
Zarkorr appears a bit more svelte than Godzilla.
It's clear the miniature artists put in a lot of work, but Toho they ain't.
Fun fact: 1996 was also the number of dollars spent on FX in this
Oh yeah baby, give us all that HO-scale debris work <3 #Monsterdon
oh, we are in newark now. I was right
I'm delighted that this is a 90's film. I try to remember where I was and what I was doing at the time.
These are the films that shaped us.
@saucerlost THAT BOY NEEDS THERAPY!
@CactuarJoe oo! oo! vancouverspotting could be go?
OMG the model work is already making me moist....

Remembering my theory that the only Aliens who come to Earth are sex tourists....
A model trainset of california. #monsterdon
Directed by Aaron Osborne, who will bite the head off of the screenwriter at the climax of the film <3 #Monsterdon
Mark Hamilton? For a moment I thought Luke Skywalker was in this movie.

Zarkorr! should be a musical with that exclamation point..
Starring: names Tim and Eric would come up with
Snake used tail whip, it was super effective #monsterdon
Mauzler, use Iron Tail!
Mauzler evolved! Now it's a level TWO pokemon!
GIT EM MAUZLER!!!!
The original title of this movie was "The Ting-Tings" #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleDeature #ThunderOfGiganticSerpent
did she just call it a shit door?
Not immune to mid-movie lack-of-monster-itis though.
"You're in gave danger" because you're standing on some very slippery rocks talking to an idiot #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleDeature #ThunderOfGiganticSerpent
@allanb I think because they used squibs inside the cans to simulate gunfire in all those fake guns #monsterdon
"I think they don't know anymore than we do" clearly talking about the audience #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleDeature #ThunderOfGiganticSerpent
I'm getting whiplash from these scene changes #monsterdon
@klu9 you think they were gonna try and sell the snake? Like, as a Christmas plushie or something? #monsterdon
@Lazarou That formuler is amazing, no wonder the boss wants it for himself! :bloblurk: #monsterdon #thunderofgiganticserpent
Giant snake like that is my version of wishing for a pony for Xmas every year #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleDeature #ThunderOfGiganticSerpent
@ohiofi what? every young girl wants a giant pet snake. Donchaknow? #monsterdon
Ok but the giant snake is adorable and still way more appealing than any of the characters in Zarkkor #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleDeature #ThunderOfGiganticSerpent
@Terencio and I'm not CONFUSED about what's happening, that's a nice change #monsterdon
"Hahahaha she broke her leg to synth music" #Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleDeature #ThunderOfGiganticSerpent
Did they get the rights for that Tangerine Dream clip?
#monsterdon #thunderofgiganticserpent
Billy came up with: ROLLERBLADING!!!
I look away only to see the giant frog be thrown out of the car and then the car explode.....the pacing of this movie is way better!
i donβt know what Monsterdon is, but it infects my timeline on the reg like an algorithmic virus, so i vow to ignore. #Monsterdon
I decided to watch the sunset tonight, so I joined #monsterdon very late with low expectations. #Zarkorr is meeting them.
My wife bravely watched the first half or so, but has now chosen to dry her hair instead of watching the rest. I asked how it could take that long to dry her hair. She said, βI promise you, I will take that long.β
I donβt think sheβs coming back. #zarkorr1996
the ten thousand froggos of dr. T
@Lazarou @apLundell It's says Elizabeth Anderson was played by Elizabeth Anderson, but if Elizabeth Anderson was the mall trash fairy, then Elizabeth Anderson was played by her boobs.
@Lazarou
Making more money than the film
wait... did they have a real snake play the fake snake.... and a fake snake play the real snake?!?? GENIUS
@allanb @klu9 @wyatt_h_knott The dubbing sounds like it did in Pod People ("Trumpy, you can do stupid things!") #Monsterdon #ThunderOfGiganticSerpent
"you worry too much. eat your food." words I will live by, from now on...
kid rolled a "1" on their stealth check
omg I want one of those turntables for MY meals...
love that lazy susan serving table
@allanb japanese? #monsterdon
That snek better survive this movie.
Hey this opening has pictures of reptiles behind the credits. And they run by faster. Plus there's a peppy little song on a casio keyboard player.
#Monsterdon #ThunderofGiantSerpent
Oh, sure, men always say it's going to be "Thunder Of Gigantic Serpent" and then it turns out to just be... wormsquall #Monsterdon #ThunderOfGiganticSerpent
That movie would have been bearable with Christopher Walken as Arthur. Thanks @Taweret & all
I am 100% ready for some Godfrey Ho goodness. White ninjas! Guns! Bad car chases!
The only redeeming feature is this bangin' theme song lol
You're welcome π€:godzilla:β€οΈβπ₯

@saucerlost @Taweret Eh, personally I feel more knackered than hackered but

π¦#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
You all who make up the Real-Time Film Analysis Squad saved the watch party yet again from a monstrous script. And casting from the Scream Actors Guild.
β€οΈ And thank you @Taweret for hosting tonight's kaiju catastrophe. Thank you for everything you do during the Monsterdon week!
π ±οΈ and thanks @cherizilla for access to Bingo cards!
ZAP
BOOM
THE END
Postie makes a Special Delivery of...a MIRROR?
Well that was the lamest fight since the WWF/WWE "Montreal Screwjob"
At least Zarkorr looked cool and wrecked a lot of stuff I guess I dunno.
Thanks for providing cannon fodder for the peanut gallery @Taweret #Monsterdon truly is like pizza.
Is that βLes Claypoolβ on the effects team the same Les Clayplay of Primus fame?
At least the monster was pretty cool. Would be neat to see someone lift that design and put it into another monster movie.
This song is TERRIBLE
π€ Zarkoooooor πΈ #monsterdon
There he is. βBen βKillaβ Ramsey.β Totally NOT me!
π΅ Zarkorr! π΅
Anyway glad to have watched #monsterdon with you all, won't have it any other way (because I would have never finished it otherwise)
Some movies I watch and I'm like, "How was this actually a movie". But this one really made me feel that. This for real feels like it was someone's college film project. Worth watching for the fun of watching a bad movie, but wow.
Well that was a lot of fun! For about 5 minutes interspersed throughout 75 minutes of torture, that is.
But if you sat through that and the lack luster climax you got a bangin' tune about ZARKORRRRRR! Thanks for hosting @Taweret. I can hardly wait to see what we're watching next week!
@wyatt_h_knott It might be 6 editors because they all kept quitting!
The outro theme song is fun and makes me want to listen to the Yetians.
@apLundell "i know a guy with some giant props!" #monsterdon
Thanks #Monsterdon, that sure was a 90s monsterdon, wasn't it?
Close but no bingo for me! The ending song was pretty funny at least. Goodnight, #Monsterdon people!
#monsterdon Now to delete this cinematic opportunityβ¦
"if i were you i'd just scream and run"
sage advice i wish i'd followed approximately an hour and 20 minutes ago.
And so they fucked off into fame and fortune.
Honestly, this movie was a lot of fun. Not the part with Arthur in it, but the rest of it was fun. And as usual, all y'all made it even more fun.
The Owlbear is gonna peace out. Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, rock out to music about Zarkorr.
Goodnight!
OH MY GOD DOES IT END WITH A SONG ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN THE MOVIE
OH NO NOW I LOVE IT
"Dynamic" Dave Parker
This ending would be a lot cooler if Zarkarr was playing the guitar with cool shades
#monsterdon
Really. Iβm kind of a fan now.

And that was a movie
Thanks everyone for your amusing comments and to @Taweret for hosting another legendary #monsterdon once more!
#monsterdon drafted into being president, maybe that would be a better system
He has his own theme song!?! #Monsterdon #ZarkorrTheInvader1996
The world's most average man becoming president?
This is some real Harrison Bergeron shit.
Also, Holo-thot was under-utilised.
#monsterdon Zarkorr! has his own theme song? Your assignment, should you accept it, is to rewrite the lyrics to be about Zardoz.
Actually maybe don't this thing rocks.
Why do I have feeling the ending song is by the director's girlfriend's band?
how can this have a second unit when it didn't have a first unit?
@guyjantic wow that explains a lot
@crowbriarhexe @allanb miru.miyaku.media is the place to watch! #monsterdon
