My evening went from "nothing to watch" to "Mark looking sharp inserting himself into a weird old movie" in like one minute and I appreciate that development.
When I was a kid in the 80s my grandparents told me I can catch the birds outside if I can put salt on their tails, it kept me busy and out of their hair for hours.
How much destruction could a giant bird do? As someone who had a house-mate with a parrot I guess a hell of a lot. One parrot was about equal to a three year old kid with a big pair of pliers.
I lived with a girl who had a cockatiel that would rip apart pillows and cushions. I'd come home from work and it'd look like a gang of poodles and ducks had been torn apart by a maniac lol!
True, size doesn't equal destruction. I have never had so much destruction in my house until the smallest dog I ever owned... Y u so tiny buh u destroy so much!
"....a big pair of pliers"?? A Scarlet Macaw or Umbrella Cockatoo is entropy armed with a chain saw and a flame thrower. My Blue & Gold Macaw reduced a computer systems unit to near atoms while I was making a cup of coffee. "We are dinosaurs. Watch and remember, furbags."
@@edisonlima4647 Thanks. They can be a menace. Ran across a rage lament about a cockatoo that reduced an antique wardrobe to kindling while its servants were out. (Yes, always check twice that the cage lock is secure). The only thing we have going for us "You remember, you feathered demon, is I keep your feed cup filled." On the other, when they're not pillaging, they're adorable.
Not only does Mark make his videos black in white to match the movie but he replaces his iPad with paper pages. The attention to detail is very much appreciated 😊
The funniest part is when the bird was shown on the screen and the scary mystery was revealed - audiences fell into gales of laughter at its sight. The softly flowing, thinning mohawk on its head is pure Comedy gold.
I freaking love "The Giant Claw"!!! Oh...fun drinking game: If you take a shot every time someone says "As big as a battleship" you'll be dead before the movie's over.
I think you have something here! Man... The potential (already proven) and the possibilities are ENDLESS . Could very well catapult Mark to new height. You should think about the idea mark, it has merits. I would gladly shill for you on UA-cam no problem. 👍
Another 5-star review. And, once again, kudos to Mark for pointing out the actual good stuff (how good the print looks, how they actually bothered with a scientific explanation, etc.), along with the hilariously bad. Also, the giant bird here is literal proof as to why we call these movies "turkeys"... Just in time for Thanksgiving, lol.
@@BGNOLA Everybody wants to blame the bird, but it doesn´t look any sillier than the shark from Jaws, Godzilla or King Kong, nor the monsters of other 50's movies . It´s the execution of the reveal that wasn´t handled well. it wouldn't be any better if they had a giant falcon or an Eagle as the monster.
@@raam726 I don't believe so. I don't recollect ever seeing him had done it before, just checked all the videos right quick on his videos page, didn't see it. only other person I watch that has done it, is Brandon Tenold.
"The Giant Claw" is one of my favorite "B" movies from the 1950s. For years I'd seen clips in various shows, but never the full movie. Then one night here in Australia in the 1980s it turned up on late night television. I loved it. It was years later before the 16:9 version was released on DVD. Giant antimatter bird from another galaxy comes to Earth to lay an egg! What a plot! Watch it if you can!
Same here. That film is cinematic gold(-plated zinc). It's just hilariously bad on so many levels. Just those two generals make me lose it every time. Every single detail is just perfect.
Hey Mark, I was watching one of your old episodes the other day, it was Lady in the Water, when you were talking about M Night making movies to impress the critics and not the fans, then you said some people hate your show but you don't make the show for them, you make it for the people who love it, I honestly don't understand why someone would hate your show, it's so funny, I have seen the Neil Breen episodes countless number of times, Twisted Pair is my favourite, not seen any of them myself but you are so funny when you talk about them.
Been watching this channel for years now, love how Mark is stepping up the production value, putting himself inside the movies. I'd love to see more of that, kind of like Kung Pow. Love these new reviews, but miss some of Mark's older stuff where he was watching movies so painful that he had an existential crisis every single time lol.
A book on bad movies quotes Jeff Morrow on how the cast was told to act terrified and assured there'd be great FX to make this bird a monster. They didn't see the actual "Claw" until the premiere and felt so embarrassed at acting terrified of...that.
Masterpiece. Mark this is one of your best clips. Love it, perosnally think a lot of channels making mockery reviews just do not put in effort, do not reinvent themselves. You putting yourself "into" the scene ... loved it in plan9 and this one is even better. Keep up the great work.
Hey Mark! Been watching your videos for around 18 months now, and it feels like you've really hit your stride in the last year! It feels like you've really refined your work and humor! Thanks for all the entertainment during a rough time in the world!
This channel is amazing. All of it is entertaining, but the production value adds so much. It’s easy to think that art/creativity are dead when you watch network TV, but stuff like this gives me hope. My favorite part is when Mark edits himself into shots- he’s gotten super good at it.
As a mathematics educator, I believe (off the top of my head) you can draw a spiral through any finite set of points. In fact, you can pick any of the points as the centre. This is, of course, as long as you are not picky about the rate of radial extension (i.e. cm / radian).
This movie is like the culmination of adults deciding to make a movie in which they agree to let the director's child insert his toy vulture clips attacking things in it just to make the kid happy 😁 and then make up some story as they go along.
Well as an electrical engineer I have to say that obviously we can fly helicopters or predict flight patterns of unknown creatures. After all, this is all just electrical engineering. Kinda the only thing not involving electrical engineering is that antimatter shield. BTW that quality is actually not unusual for movies from that time, after all since it's monochrome it fetches high prices on the licensing market. For example it recently got shown on German TV, probably fetching hundreds of Euros in licensing fees.
Good to see you edited into moving video assets. It's one of my favorite parts of your videos. Are you going to post your tasteful photos on Instagram?
@FanboyFlicks. Dude, your editing skills and greenscreening yourself into the movies has always been funny as hell, but that bit in this video was absolutely priceless and hilarious. Very well done! I hope you do that a hell of a lot more in the future! 🤣👏👏
Mark, you’re hitting a whole new level with your videos dude. I love when you put yourself in the film. This one is may favorite so far. Now I want to you go back and redo old videos to put yourself in those. Lol. Like the bed that eats people. That one would be hilarious. Dude you’re content just gets better.
As someone owned by a cockatiel, a small Grey monster, I can testify that if a bird gets any larger than a finch, it can be a deadly terror! Be feared! Be very afeared. Great ep! 😂🤣👏👏👏
Mark has outdone himself here with this one. What was once "The Swarm" or his "Neil Breen's"...NOW take a backseat to this one. Perfectly done Mark! This one is your best!. Keep it rockin, brother
The lead actor hadn't seen the special effects and went to the premier in his home town standing at the back of the theatre to gauge everyone's reaction when he saw the Bird he snuck out of the theatre he was so embarrassed
Hey, your about the movie "It" is probably my favorite video on this platform. I remember watching it quite some years ago, I must've been around 12-13 and watching it now is extremely nostalgic, I just turned 16. The background music, combined with your voice brings back memories that are indescribable and brings me to a time where things were simpler, where I lived without any stress, where there was not an immense pressure on my shoulders. I often listen to the video on loop when I do schoolwork, play video games, etc. Your channel is one of the best on this platform and it's been a while since I have checked it out. I am glad to see that you still make content and it saddens me that you do not get more recognition for your hilarious takes. I cannot put it into words how much that video touched me, and how many emotions run through my mind every time I hear it. Reading this comment, I know I sound stupid but I just wanted to let you know. Keep it up man.
This movie doesn't look terrible actually. The special effects are decent for the time but its the design of the monster itself that brings it down... a lot.
I have loved this movie ever since I saw it back in the mid 90's when it showed back on the TNT block night called Monster Vision. It has always stuck with me. Jeff Morrow always acts wonderful in whatever he is in. I know the old story about him not knowing what the monster looked like and saw it first hand when he went to a showing of the movie in a small town. And that everyone in the audience was laughing at it when it finally showed up, (causing Jeff to leave the theater secretly before anyone saw him). But I don't think it is that bad of a monster. For a puppet, it has a lot of facial movement. It's just the whole design looked odd to begin with. And honestly...if you think about it. This thing could kill Godzilla and any other kaiju. If he kept his shield up....and didn't t drop it to attack Godzilla with his claws and beak...that shield would collide with Godzilla and instantly destroy him. Just think about that :P
I've always loved, this movie!!! Still watching it, 55+ years later. It's one of my basic, '50's sci-fi/horror staples. Great cast, lineup too. Loved how you interfused yourself into, the picture😉👍!!! Oh yeah, the Giant Claw came to Earth, 'cause it's flat. Makes it easier to land😆!!! Joke-able bird, special effects, made in a country, where they're not known, for good special effects; Mexico. Maybe extends into pictures, too😏…………
Hi from Australia, home of creatures that want to kill you. The idea of a huge killer bird may seem hilarious, but we have:- THE CASSOWARY! Part bird. Part dinosaur. All violence. Why there is no Cassowary horror movie, I just don't know!
I’m extremely impressed with how good the monster and the scale of things looked. Like you said for a 50s B-movie… This thing blows away a lot of the modern-day shitty “bad movies“. I mean they even made the birds nostrils move and all kinds of other details. And the claw shot at the very end actually looked really good.
The acting was good, it's really ok direction and production, but I heard that the monster was to be stop motion...there were budget cuts. I wonder if this movie has a a real Canadian connection, to hear Canada mentioned in an old B movie might mean there was some sort of interaction. This is the kind of movie Holly weird should remake, and bring to life the original vision, with stop motion but today's movie machine is lazy, dull...to much propaganda! GREAT review, I love the spicing...very creative!
This might be the first time Mark reviewed a movie that I've actually seen. This is one of my favorite B movies. I laughed my ass off the first time I saw it. It's not just that the bird is weird looking and kind of bad, it's that the actors are actually relatively good and serious, so their reactions to the bird are hilarious compared to what it actually looks like. The film is mostly a bad B movie rather than a good sci-fi movie because of the bird puppet.
One of my fav creature feature flicks of all time. Thanks for the laughs and the nostalgia This, for all its cheese, had more imagination than most of what Hollywood is spewing out today
I recently saw that movie on a German TV Show that plays shitty movies like this and makes a drinking game out of them.. and i gotta say, this movie made for a hell of a good time with enough booze in your system 😂
For those interested, I'm going to try and release a video next week on the editing I did for this episode to put me into the scenes
Das ist supa, ya! ! !
Your editing was amazing! Also baller suit bro.
cant wait to see it man i wish you posted daily
Only if we can see the slides
Oh, man. When I read "For those interested", I thought you were going to offer the nude photography.
Man, Mark abilities to edit himself on the movies has improved a lot.
i didn't even notice until he started talking
Soon we'll get to see him tell JFK that he has to pee.
True. These always make me chuckle.
Marks ability, to make videos more often, has also improved.
You aint lying.

You need to insert yourself into entire movies. That was brilliant and hilarious. I need about 2 more hours of this.
I think you have something here!
Man... The potential (already proven) and the possibilities are ENDLESS .
Could very well catapult Mark to new height.
You should think about the idea mark, it has merits. I would gladly shill for you on UA-cam no problem. 👍
There's so many public domain movies Mark can do this with! XD
I just really love the videos where Mark makes himself black and white also. Really changes the whole tone of the video and it’s so cool
Every movie you insert yourself into makes me realize just how many are lacking a mark in the character department.
Love your inserts in old movies. This is one of the best. Had tears of laughter of them watching your slides.

It's also a good joke because if you're not watching you can totally miss it. Like for my first viewing. 😄

Hey Mark, this movie is as old as I am . . . and a lot less embarrassing to look at. 👍
This movie doesn't look terrible actually. The special effects are decent for the time but its the design of the monster itself that brings it down... a lot.

This, for all its cheese, had more imagination than most of what Hollywood is spewing out today
I recently saw that movie on a German TV Show that plays shitty movies like this and makes a drinking game out of them.. and i gotta say, this movie made for a hell of a good time with enough booze in your system 😂
Wow I wish they had shows like that here in the US. It sounds hilarious and fun. If somebody knows of a show like this in the US let me know.
"Oh, that's right Sally...". I lost it. You're a legend Mark.
Nice UFO dong drawing!
Your videos just keep getting better and better.
I would watch a whole bad movie if mark inserted himself in every scene.
The bits where you insert yourself into the films is the best thing on UA-cam! 🤣
