Pageboy72, Lionel did begin offering HO scale trains when this movie was made, ( 1957 ) but the train was mostly likely made by established HO scale firms like Varney, Roundhouse, Athearn, Penn Line, etc.
Again the story line was great and even kept the music theatricals of "it came from beneath the sea" but that bird... lets just say it is waiting for an oppurtunist to come and remove the rubber chicken and add a cool monster of some sort. Happy huntings!
Hey this movie is great with one exception, the TURKEY the size of a battleship. If someone could make a dub with a real bird in that abominations place this would actually be worth watching. College students, be my guest! This was a good movie but the bird actually made the star of the movie walk out of the theatre embarressed, so lets see if we can do some justice to this tainted masterpiece?
@xservintage Awe, so you saw the movie! Its actually a decent story, and the idea of a bird or arial type of giant monster that overseas everything is an unnerving concept really. Heck if they had just filmed a normal vulture or something and superimposed it... this may be been a hit. The star of this one Jeff Morrow wasn't shown the monster till debut, which he embarrasedly left the theatre scarred for life. Would like to see a remake or something.
No, I didn't see the movie. But, like you said, the story has a huge potential, and the idea of a gigantic bird is terrifying. The three things that screwed this movie up were:
-The monster's design
-Its funny screeches
-The lack of detail in scenes like these, where you can clearly see it's a toy train.
However, if they made a remake nowadays as an A movie, it could even be better than Cloverfield!
Unbelieveable crap! The train would never have stayed coupled together once it was lifted into a vertical position like that! Of course, the flying gooney bird was a bit outrageous as well! One of the most wasted films of the sci-fi era!
dude the movie is freakin old i think it was from 1957 you shouldnt expect it to be a masterpiece in our times but still back then this was freakin gold
Actually back than on the premiere the audience laughed so hard when the bird appeared on the screen, that Jeff Morrow (who played the main character on the film) sneaked out from the theater, totally embarrassed. Everyone thought that it was totally cheesy and fake, even in 1957.
But that's why many people, including me, love it so much right now, and I can honestly say that it's one of my favorite monster movies.
although the face on the bird is comical,,,the special effects used in the birds capture of the train is outstanding,,,it looks real,,,this picture has held up well over time
Rofl! This inflated turkey scares the hell out of me some of the time, but lol toy train. you can seriously tell, pause at the point he puts his claw on the train. Youll see what I mean
first, you can tell the giant claw [aka retarded turkey] has goofball eyes and a fake body, they even put a train set there and you can bloody tell its fake and wtf? they used plastic army men for the soilders!
You can tell its a train set. For one, the train is tiny, no matter how hard you try to picture it big and second, a real trains carriages would not drag down like that, they would snap off each other. Great for its time though!
LOL @MrColinglind and @unclealand - you both both made me spit out my milk! Wait, I'm not drinking milk..still, LOL all the same! :-)
