One of my favorite laughs from this film is when the GF pays for the sister's leg braces and Chase shows his gratitude by using the money saved to get his car painted!  Yeesh, Chase, couldn't you have...

I just watched this for the first time in a long time. I started on Amazon Instant View and then I remembered I had the colorized DVD so I watched it. I too enjoyed this movie as a wee lad so it's...

I've been unable to get out of my head, the guy demanding the sheriff give him a "soberty test." Speaking of which, you'd think that DUI was the national pastime from this movie. Every single motorist...

As a 7 year old it all went over perfectly well for me. Revisiting it in recent years my reaction was Wow, this is amazingly cheap, oh well, pretty entertaining still.

I like to think that it's Don Sullivan's performance that gives this film a certain charm. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Sullivan at Monster Bash in , I think it was 2008, and he was just the nicest...

I was ten when I saw it at the Saturday matinee and, while I didn't hate it, I was not very amused.  But now I absolutely love the silly thing.  Is it a good movie?  Oh, good lord, no!  But I find it...

Ages ago I knew a film collector who had a very nice 35 mm print of THE GIANT GILA MONSTER. I think it was one of the most requested films he had to run for his friends.

I think if this movie had better special effects,it wouldn't be as much fun. Just my two cents.
