Not only is 'Red Dawn' missing, but 'The Giant Gila Monster', as well. Lists suck.
I know!! (should I admit this??) I liked Red Dawn! .. Now 'The Giant Gila Monster'.. this is one film I dont know about ..uh ..is it one I dont want to know about ?? ;P
It's one of those 50's sci-fi flicks that the local UHF (you remember that, don't you?) channel used to run late Saturday night...'Creature Feature', or some such. It featured rebel refugees from 'Dobie Gillis' reluctantly teaming up with the local sheriff to battle a giant gila monster that was running around eating freight trains and stuff...budget was about 4 dollars, and it showed. Can't believe you missed this one...
Oh gosh! YES ..!! I do remember UHF!! Locally they had some guy on the late night flicks.. who used the name the Cool Ghoul!! He was so outrageous!
Have you ever seen vulgar?
UH no I cant say I have.. I like quirky films but this one got past me.. ;P

It's not for everyone, but it has a cameo by Jason Mewes. Basey or something...
