Fun Stuff

Trivia:
This film's makers were hoping to cash in on the expected box office bonanza of 'Dino de Laurentiis (I)'' 1976 remake of King Kong (1976). While that film turned out to be a bust, this one was an even bigger disaster. more

This movie is just plain awful!, 14 May 2002
1/10
Author: warlorde from OKC,OK

I must confess to liking giant monster movies, but this film is really just plain awful! Bad special effects, even worse acting, silly premise. By the way that big snake would be considered a monster! Anyway painful as it was I made it through to the end. I chuckled a few times while watching this mess, just not believing what I'm seeing or hearing.

1 out of 10, for bad movies beware 5 out of 10. Suffer with me.
