Few movies cited in the Medved brothers’ Golden Turkey books so richly deserved multiple mentions in the chronicles of the truly dreadful. Imagine a Godzilla movie with no Godzilla in it, and you’ve got the general idea here. Apparently Gargantuas are men in moss-strewn wet suits who enjoy stomping on miniatures. This outing is missable except as a historical curiosity, offering up one of the worst lounge singer numbers ever preserved on celluloid and providing evidence of just how rapidly Russ Tamblyn’s career went downhill after West Side Story. Wish I’d skipped it
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
