Q - The Winged Serpent
Directed by Larry Cohen
In Larry Cohen’s ‘80s cult classic, a giant dragon comes to NYC to feast on pedestrians. His name is Quetzalcoatl and for months he’s been hiding in the Chrysler Building and devouring unlucky sunbathers around the city. But when a criminal (Michael Moriarty) stumbles across Q’s nest, he must decide whether to lead two cops (David Carradine and Richard Roundtree) to the hiding place. Cohen walks a tricky line, combining an homage to giant monster movies and a character study of a pathetic loser, but the result manages to be fun, scary, and, yes, moving.

A movie that could have been even better if we went further with these sacrifice rituals, but despite that, it's a good monster movie, with a unique monster.
Fun!
Weak.
Stupid but fun. Roundtree is wasted but Carradine is good.
Never seen deodorant staining on a shirt that bad...Advice: trash the shirt and take a shower.
