A federal agent, a paleontologist, a county sheriff and a long-retired Army colonel take on a giant three-eyed reptile in a goofy, "Airplane!"-style spoof of '50s monster movies. The production values are way beneath the standards of even most monster movies, with lots of footage lifted from other films, lots of old monster-movie stars in cameo roles, and lots and lots of really bad puns. Just about every aging B-movie actor who still had a pulse when the picture was shot turns up in it somewhere. (Production spanned a couple of decades, and by the time the project was completed, some of its older stars were gone.) Veteran scream queen Brinke Stevens gets the obligatory nude shower scene, and while veteran monster fighter Kenneth Tobey gets top billing, he's not moving around much, and it's Stevens, as much as anybody, who carries the film. As a mark of her status, the company name on an armored truck the monster crushes is conspicuously spelled "Brinkes".
