Think pterosaurs were fragile kite-like critters who could barely handle a struggling fish?

Think again!

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

I thought you'd get a kick out of this. It's hard to imagine how a flying animal this big could find enough to eat . . . but here they are.

I know the sauropod being caught is a baby . . . but just imagine if it were an adult!

Pterosaurs a thousand feet tall!

Small | Large


I have an old book somewhere that theorized (with cool illustrations, of course) how dinosaurs, pterosaurs,  and other prehistoric critters would have eventually evolved if they had not become extinct. I remember one idea was that some pterosaurs would eventually evolve into giant flighless plains-dwelling herbivores that resembled giraffes. Imagine super giant carnivorous giraffes with hairy feathers!

You know the real problem with being attacked by a giant bird (poetic license, grant me thy favor) that I can think of?  Being stomped on.  Have you ever seen a carnivorous bird kill its prey?  They have this ugly tendency to pin it down and then stomp on it with their feet, which usually have sharp ends.  I do not want a 500lb pterosaur stomping on me until I'm dead.

That's pretty much what happens to a bug when you crush it.  I always have a slight fear that they might still be alive after that, seriously that would suck.

Yes, salad.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
