Title: 30 feet of pure terror Post by: trekgeezer on December 27, 2004, 05:59:33 PM On Jan. 8 after a day of repeat snake, rat , and spider movies SciFi will be showing their preimiere of "King Cobra" (1999).
From the reviews I've read I think I will have to see this one. A giant hybrid of cobra and diamond back rattler(animatronic, no cgi) set loose on a small town. Hey it's got Pat Morita, Hoyt Axton, and a cameo by Erik Estrada. The snake effects are by the Chiodo brothers who did Critters and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. If anyone has already seen this, please let us know if it is laughable bad or mind numbing bad.

Now there's a snake film. Title: Re: 30 feet of pure terror Post by: Flangepart on December 29, 2004, 11:14:08 AM And there has to be a snake cult involved...and Bruce Campbell shows up to kick the asses of all involved, reptile and human!
Title: Re: 30 feet of pure terror Post by: cheecky-monkey on December 29, 2004, 05:28:52 PM Lots of cliches but it wasn't that bad, liked the snake, it sure looked menacing and I admire the filmmakers effort not to cheat and use soulless CGO over good ol' animatronics.
Title: mind numbing bad Post by: Foywonder on December 30, 2004, 02:21:22 AM Boring movie. Cheats you on the snake most of the time because you barely see if for most of the film and when you do you almost never get a full body look at it because it is really nothing more than a puppet cobra head. Did I mention how dull the movie was?

Title: Re: mind numbing bad Post by: Foywonder on December 31, 2004, 09:41:05 AM KING KOBRA was made by the same guys that went on to make PINATA: SURVIVAL ISLAND, which looks like a masterpiece by comparison.
Title: Re: 30 feet of pure terror Post by: iluvdolma on December 31, 2004, 07:38:11 PM I remember turning on HBO and seeing King Cobra on. At first glance I was convinced that it was some kind of movie spoofing Anaconda. But the sad fact slowly slipped in...the movie was for real.
It isn't that bad, and the old guy from Karate Kid is in it. Master...something. Forgot. And I still want to figure out if he dies or not. They never made it clear to me. |
