Storyline

Professor "Johnny Longbow" Salina, a man who really knows his stews, introduces Paul Carlson to the practical-joking Kathy Nolan. Paul and Kathy seem to hit it off rather well but, during a meteor storm, a meteorite fragment strikes Paul, burying itself deep in his skull, which has the unpleasant side-effect of causing Paul to mutate into a giant reptilian monster at night and go on murderous rampages. It turns out that this sort of thing has happened before, when Professor Salina rediscovers ancient Native American paintings detailing a similar event many centuries ago. Kathy, however, still loves Paul, and tries to save him. Written by Leo L. Schwab <ewhac@best.com>

now I understand
1 June 2005 | by (Amsterdam) – See all my reviews

I finally understand where the Power Rangers got their monsters from, from movies like these. I actually think this one appeared in one of the episodes as well.

My god, the movie was horrible. I felt asleep, even with the comment of the MST3K guys, which makes the movie more amusing. Picture this.....you got a blond haired trained guy, a stereotype blond chick with the lowest IQ possible, but with a nice body. 5 minutes after they met, they act like they have been lovers for years (I am quite jealous on that ;-)). Now, here it comes.....on a beautiful night there is a meteor shower with rocks from the moon. Magnets cause rays, rays cause mutation......you wonder where it is going? You have to see it to believe it.......or not ;-)
