INFAMOUS "BAD MOVIE"...EMBRYONIC "MR. BIG"...MIND-BOGGLING MUST SEE
18 August 2021
Bert I. Gordon's Long-Lived Career Began His Directorial Credits with this Mad-Movie.

It High-Lights Many of His and Other (Ed Wood) Wannabee Movie-Makers Ineptitude.

Those that Made a Name and had More Chutzpah than Talent.

Although if Persevering on One's Goal can be Considered a Talent Mr. BIG and Ed Wood Certainly had Plenty of that.

The Main Ingredients of "Bad Movie" Stuff is Plentiful in this Oft-Cited Primitive Picture.

Over-Reliance of Stock Footage. Limited Camera Movement, Cheapest of SFX, and Cliched Character Traits.

Brain-Numbing Declarations made by "Scientists" that are Absent Against Fact.

To Say More would Take what "Fun" this Type Offers, Out of the Equation.

There is a Good Deal of Outrage among Commentators about the Reptiles Representing "Dinosaurs" and their Mistreatment and Mishandling to Induce Desired Carnage.

That is a Valid Criticism and Further Facilitates the Unprofessional Nature of the Production Team.

Concerned Mainly on the "Bottom Line" and a Willful Abandonment of Other, more Sensitive, but Important Issues.

Overall, a Very Crude Beginning for Mr. BIG.

It Reeks of "Amateur-Hour.

Absent some of the Most Basic Elements of Movie-Making.

There are a Lot of Considerations Packed in this One Hour Movie.

Some Entertaining and Some Cringe-Inducing.

Because there is an Enormous Amount to Stimulate the Senses,

Some Intentional and Some Not. All of the Hoopla and Ballyhoo make this...

Worth a Watch.
