The Bison of Doom!

The Killer Sea Anemone!

The Dust Mites That Ate L.A.!

Okay, this is getting silly, now isn't it?

Plus, in the end, as it dies, it could use that extra long middle digit to flip off its killers!

Maybe the Giant Killer Aye-Aye could fire red heat beams from its eyes, laying waste to entire cities.

Perhaps a combination monster movie of the Giant Killer Aye-Aye versus the Atomic Head Lice: What the Aye-Aye makes up for in extreme size, the lice make up for in numbers and general freaky lookingness [I'd imagine that a large lice would be extremely ugly and quite horrific]

Hmmm... it could perhaps work, something like various Gamera movies: the Aye-Aye, whilst a plague on mankind because it is so huge, ends up helping the otherwise helpless humans rid the area of the lice plague before laying siege to various sky scrapers nearby after getting shot at by an unnappreciative public, and getting sent to the moon by the military.

That or we can make a monster movie about puppies, and call it 101 feet tall Dalmations.

The Lice of Death!

They'll suck your brains out!

I can see the posters already!

What about broccoli? Evil mutant broccoli chomping at your ankles?

That reminds me of Stewie from Family Guy, pacing, around a plate of Broccoli saying: 'Well Broccoli, mother tells me that you are good for me, but I'm afraid that I'm NO GOOD FOR YOU!' or something to that effect.

Possible taglines for a broccoli inspired movie:

'you thought THEY tasted bad, wait till you find out what they think of YOU'

'They tasted bad when you were a kid, you taste GREAT now that they are mutated killer monsters!'

And so on and so forth.

While it wouldn't count as a movie exactly, I think sapient, evil monster broccoli was done on one of those Nickelodeon cartoons. I don't remember which one, but I'm thinking Dexter's Laboratory. The only way to kill them was to eat them.

I too remember recently watching a cartoon on Nickolodeon about the 'heroes' eating killer broccoli.

Was it The Powderpuff Girls?

You may be right; that sounds more plausible than Dexter and DeeDee saving the world by eating mutant vegetables. But, incidentally, it's the PowerPuff Girls, not the Powderpuff Girls. They beat people up for getting their name wrong.

If that's original, I love it. Even if it's a knock off, I still love it. It has the potential for the best play on a children's movie both in name and in subject. I absolutely must do something with that name. And hey, with the power of computers today, anything is possible. Someone call Robert Rodriguez, he'll make a movie about anything.

Hey Ash, did you draw that picture of the Aye-Aye?

Killer Ants have been used before, I believe. It was a Sci-fi movie called "Legion of Fire: Killer Ants!" Made complete with the exclamation point at the end.

Is it a rule that every creature on the earth can be made menacing by making it large and radioactive? I really need to think about this....

flamingos. Flamingos are the exception. I've never met an illtempered flamingo. And plus, it wouldn't be hard to defend against with its bright colors and good nature. Maybe if it stopped eating those little red shrimp and started eating people it wouldn't be that bright red anymore. Hmmmm

Ash · September 07, 2005, 09:39:30 AM

You're right...it is Powerpuff Girls.

Sorry...lol!

peter johnson · September 08, 2005, 08:06:43 PM

Yes, the Kung Pow cow counts!
Giant killer chickens were done in The Food of The Gods, with Marjoe Gortner, in the 1970's
There was a cabbage-headed bad guy on a Kids in The Hall episode --
