Richard Denning and Mara Corday star...
...in this Mexican-American giant monster extravaganza.
Legendary "King Kong" animator Willis O'Brien supervised the special effects.
His assistant, Pete Peterson, performed most of the actual stop-motion animation.
Peterson also worked on "Mighty Joe Young" and "The Giant Behemoth."
It is one of the most effects-intensive stop-motion animation films ever made...
...filled with detailed sets, multiple models, and inspired animation.
It is reminiscent of some of the most horrific scenes from "King Kong."
And also foretells some of the monster effects for "Starship Troopers."
The cavern sequence hints at what the "spider pit" scene in "King Kong" may have looked like.
Some of the models may, in fact, be left over from that scene.
The final monster vs. military battle is a SPFX spectacle...
...and ranks as one of the finest stop-motion sequences ever filmed.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
