The Giant Claw Movie Review

Hilarious ‘50s giant-monster flick, featuring a buzzard-like bird, which not only arrives from outer space to hatch an egg, but is also surrounded by an anti-matter shield that makes it radar invisible, and prevents conventional weapons from doing any damage. South-of-the-border special effects ensure that the taco, er, big bird will wreak a little havoc, and have a lot of fun before the inevitable down-in-flameless plunge, which will probably save the world for a little while longer. Scientist Mara Corday was Playboy’s Miss October, 1958. What a goofy bird. What a goofy movie (not to be confused with The Goofy Movie). You gotta love it!
