“I saw u0026quot;The Giant Clawu0026quot; several times on the Saturday afternoon creature feature in the late 60s and 70s. I LOVED IT!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis 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 u0026quot;The Deadly Mantisu0026quot; (giant praying mantis), u0026quot;Themu0026quot; (the giant ants), and u0026quot;Tarantulau0026quot; (the giant tarantula, of course). Being a kid growing up during the height of the space race, science fiction was always an u0026quot;almost anything goesu0026quot; 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 u0026quot;The Green Slimeu0026quot; (1968).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll you have to do is turn off your brain and throw out your u0026quot;willing suspension of disbelief.u0026quot; Itu0026#39;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.”
