I haven’t thought of this movie in years
I saw “The Giant Claw” several times on the Saturday afternoon creature feature in the late 60s and 70s. I LOVED IT!

This was before I started actually reading science fiction, and my friends and me really liked the science fiction movies that were being shown on the TV when you had about five channels. This movie ranks up there with “The Deadly Mantis” (giant praying mantis), “Them” (the giant ants), and “Tarantula” (the giant tarantula, of course). Being a kid growing up during the height of the space race, science fiction was always an “almost anything goes” genre to occupy a lazy afternoon. This movie is easily competitive with the Japanese monster movies, and I think that the creation of movies like this peaked out at “The Green Slime” (1968).

All you have to do is turn off your brain and throw out your “willing suspension of disbelief.” It’s just a plain old fun movie, good for everyone to watch on a rainy day. And if it would ever be shown again, I can watch it with popcorn AND a beer.

Attack Of The Giant Buzzard
One of the finest and campiest science fiction films of the Fifties was The Giant Claw. For once a monster’s existence is not based on atomic radiation.

I have a soft spot for The Giant Claw, the claw in fact belonged to a space buzzard. Now how this big bird (and he looked something like Big Bird from Sesame Street) flew through airless space to nest here on earth is not explained, but it has arrived and the bird’s here to lay some eggs. It picks a spot up in the Canadian northwest to do so.

But flying at supersonic speeds the whole planet is a feeding ground for it. And mankind can’t get at it because it has an invisible anti-matter shield. Anything we shoot at it just bounces off and doesn’t touch it. Of course the bird drops it shield long enough to ingest its meal which could be as much as a whole airplane in one gulp. The space buzzard’s got the appetite of a buzzard and the feedings habits of same.

It’s up to scientists Jeff Morrow and Mara Corday to bring the big guy down and of course they do since we’re all still here. But it’s how they do it that’s the story.

This particular monster is one of the funniest ever put on the big screen. Anyone over the age of seven will laugh themselves silly looking at Big Bird. But that’s the film’s charm.
