Reptilicus (1961)
5/10
It's a giant flying snake!

And it's a great try at Kaiju! Seriously, this is a cool movie. The American edit is missing some of the good scenes (a giant, life-sized foot and the beast flying) but it's still okay. I liked the added effects a bit, added to the cheesy feel of it all. One issue with how it's looked at though: people think it was meant to be serious! Some do anyways. I think it would be a cool movie to try and remake. Of all the kajiu, it seems to be missing out on the attention it deserves. Check out both variations, but be warned: there is a weird musical number in the original version...

A strange fact about it: in Canada (or Rocky Mountain House at least)they released the original dub, without the added effects. In fact, it may be the only time it was shown like that out here!
