There were no previews for the cast. Not even for the lead actor Jeff Morrow who saw this film for the first time in the movie theater in the small community where he lived - surrounded by family, close friends and neighbors. He had no idea that the special effects had been farmed out to Mexico. So when the bird first appeared on screen (looking like Gonzo from the muppets on CRACK), Jeff Morrow sank deeper and deeper into his seat. After the film ended he sneaked out of the rear exit, incognito

If you look really close, You can tell its a fake bird! :)

Whatever, it was just a comment.

No way, they'd ruin it with over-the-top special effects and everything not focussed on the 17,000,000-year-old "monster" would be about peoples' sex lives. Enjoy the 1957 version as is!
