It's hard to see how this movie got made as anything but a comedy. You can't imagine such a laughably hokey monster bird being brought on set and actors and crew alike not falling-about with laughter.
Yet here it is - like the most lugubrious refugee from Sesame Street.
It's flown in from outer space. Which is quite clever because there's no air in outer space so it couldn't even breathe let alone fly. And in any case it would be as rock solid as any frozen chicken. But let's not dwell on science.
It's undetectable by radar and can't be killed by conventional means because it's somehow surrounded by anti-matter. Why the anti-matter only repels weapons and not the atoms and molecules of Earth's atmosphere - well let's not dwell on that either.
After this Punch & Judy projectile has whizzed about a bit damaging terrestrial collateral, heroic boffins work out that they can spray nuclear particles at it from an aeroplane mounted cannon and neutralise its force-field. Sorted.
As I say; it beggars belief. The fact that it was intended as a serious movie is the basis of its entertainment value. If you ever get the chance; watch in awe. It's hilarious.
