Q: The Winged Serpent (1982)


Q: The Winged Serpent (1982) -* * *

Directed By: Larry Cohen

Starring: Michael Moriarty, Candy Clark, David Carradine, and Richard Roundtree













Q: The Winged Serpent is cheesy fun at it's finest. The plot: Oh No! Quetzlcoatl, A Winged Serpent is terrorizing New York City! Only one man can take him down: An Ex-Scat player named Jimmy Quinn (Moriarty). For 1982, the stop motion effects are decent. Moriarty is excellent as usual. He puts a lot of heart and soul into Jimmy. You want him to be safe from "Q". There's a scene where Jimmy plays a impromptu piano solo that's funny and brilliant at the same time. Only Larry Cohen can make this movie... and get away with it.





Also known as "American Monster":
