I actually own this movie on DVD--the uncut, unMST3K version. In case you're wondering, very little was cut out of it for MST3K. And it still blows chunks.
Some young anthropologist turned mineralogist gets hit in the the head with a meteor and turns into a giant rubber lizard. Along the way he falls in lust with a dimbulb hot-pants lovin' reporter. We also have corny Indian legends, stupid cops, giant 70's cars, bad hair on the entire cast, and the kind of cheeseball special effects only the 70's could produce. Oh, and don't forget, this movie is boring as hell. Really boring. It moves about as fast as a tub of spilled molasses on the Canadian tundra. Watch with only Mike and the bots.
