    Where is the Giant Claw? Beats me! I’m sure that’s what most people would say.

    You forgot to mention that this movie was produced by infamous horror producer Sam Katzman who must’ve produced as much horror films as Roger Corman! This is on Sony’s Icons of Horror: Sam Katzman DVD that also feature some of his other infamous films like Creature with the Atom Brain, Zombies of Mora Tau, and The Werewolf!

    If I too would like to own a movie prop, I would like to have any of the treasures from the Indiana Jones series like the Ark of the Covenant, the Shankara stones, or the Holy Grail!

    Great review the Giant Claw is such a memorable monster

    This is probably not important but in the Doctor who episode “Planet of Evil” there is an anit-matter world, hum mabey that is where the Giant claw came from.

    Sorry don’t know where the prop is.

    I’m watching the last bit of The Giant Claw right now. It really IS funny how seriously the actors take the creature but when you finally see it you’re like “what…. the….” Classic B-Movie, can’t wait to watch the other Katzman flicks in the Icons of Horror set! Btw, the scenes in which the main characters shoot the thing’s egg to bits doesn’t do wonders for their image as the supposed heroes of the movie. Mr. Director, heroes shooting a defenseless egg is a no-no!

    Hey James if they were to make a remake of the Giant Claw would u go see it. Or would u rather not see it cause u might think they’ll make the bird look more ridiculous.

    Fun fact, the main character played by Jeff Morrow also plays Exeter in This Island Earth.

    Quick question: sometimes when talking about b-movies, you see a weird creature (made out of paper) with big goofy eyes assaulting an unsuspecting couple kissing. Pleease can anyone tell me what that movie is? The first time i saw that thing i nearly pissed myself laughing

    I think a movie prop I would love in my living room would have to be the mechanical owl from the original Clash of the Titans. The original, I said!

    I have many questions regarding this film and this video, the main one being…
    That witch-ey laughter at the beginning, where does it originally come from?
     
    I cannot help but think on Megadeth’s first seconds of Lucretia (and i’m quite sure Dave took that from another place)!

    The Giant Claw vs Godzilla. Wow that movie needs to be made or better yet how about The Giant Claw vs Godzilla vs King Kong. Now that would drive the fans crazy.

    The pattern. OMG, the pattern. How couldn’t I see the pattern before he drawed it? It was as simple as rocket science.

    I don’t know where the Claw is today but I’ll be using info from The Giant Claw at Ravenwood Castle in April. We’re doing a mystery adventure weekend titled The Adventure of the Dragon’s Claw and stills from the pic will be popping up along with clues. I’m going to do the same thing with The Blob in October up at Kelleys Island. These movies are too cool to NOT pull them back into the light!
