Throw in David Carridine (one of the world's best bad actors) and a monster animated badly enough to make Ray Harryhausen blush and you have the recipe for one of the funniest monster movies I've ever seen.
For a film made in 1982 it has the look and feel of a 60's monster movie, or maybe even 50's. But I suspect that was the intent and if so, it worked very well. It's not a film you're going to watch over and over, but it makes a pretty good "beer-and-laughs" flick.
The concept of a giant-winged serpent flapping laboriously through the New York skies in broad daylight is somewhat comical, though. Even if people don't look up that often, you'd think it'd be a bit noticeable.
The movie has a disjointed feel to it, mainly due to the weird cuts and editing, I suspect. But then it has that shoestring budget feel to it and I suppose it can't be blamed for corner-cutting a little.
Not a great movie, but bad enough to be good.
