@@EMcmulOfficial thanks, and as long as people still love and admire Ray's work, I'm in the process of getting a crew together, we'll be making a spiritual sequel to the first which will all be in good fun. It will still retain the same title, but we'll make the live action more campy than the serious tone of the original film

Better model than is usual for a production like this; very detailed, which is what I likes about Harryhausen's models.

@@Ani8900 oh, I believe Ray Harryhausen was supposed to animate the Giant Claw, the particulars of how that didn't come to be elude me, but it would have made a far more palatable film because the acting is pretty good, and the set up for the monster reveal was well done. And yes, the initial release of King Kong had Japanese studios planning ideas for an original Giant monster film of their own. Obviously, the war got in the way, but the aftermath of the atomic bombings did lay the groundwork for a new type of monster. The Beast from 20,000 fathoms merely beat them to the punch, but it's hardly an allegory about the horrors of nuclear fallout.

@@bluesentaiproductions all very true, I will admit the way the story was betrayed, and the acting is pretty good and the monster doesn't look too bad, but they had like a plethora of sounds they could've used and it's kind of… Well, a little toony. Still they made with what they got in. And again, It wasn't all that bad. The only reason why I've heard this because of the game where you can create your own game. Someone was trying to make a Godzilla fighting game using all of the monsters and and the giant claw was one of them.

Also, with a creature that big, there wouldn't be any weight to picking up a car, as the neck muscles would be stronger than any known creature because it's a fictional dinosaur.
