Q - The Winged Serpent

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.

I can't believe David Carradine died of auto-erotic asphyxiation.

This was written at a time where we were expected to sympathize and respect the cop characters but.... no way. Otherwise it's a pretty cool monster flick.
