Customer Reviews of The Flying Serpent
Decent Devil-Bat imitation With Zucco. George Zucco is back in yet another PRC poverty row cheapie. Zucco Stars as a nutty professor (no pun intended) Forbes who discovers a hidden Aztec treasure as well as a prehistoric giant Bird. <
> <
>Forbes then uses the feathers of the bird to kill those he thinks intends to steal his find. The feathers are used as bait similar to what Lugosi did in another classic B film, The Devil Bat. <
> <
>Zucco, of course, is quite wonderful, playing the wacked out professor with over the top zeal but no one else in the cast is worth mentioning. The special effects our as bad as you could ever expect from a PRC film with the strings being quite visible when controlling the prehistoric bird. On top of that the sets are cheap making this really one of the worst PRC movies which is quite an accomplishement <
> <
>Still, being a Zucco fan I really enjoy him and the movie is worth watching to see him hamming it up. Just don't go into it with any high expectations.
Bird-Brains...
George Zucco is the nefarious Dr. Forbes, archeologist. He's got Quetzalcoatl (yep, the aztec bird / lizard god) trapped in a cage in some old ruins. Forbes has found out that the creature will hunt down and kill anyone in possession of one of it's feathers (the first victim was the Dr.'s own wife). He uses the beast to knock off his enemies and protect the millions in aztec gold he's discovered. It's up to Forbes' step-daughter and a radio show host to stop the madness and mayhem. Yes, this is a remake of Bela's DEVIL BAT, with feathers instead of after-shave lotion, and Quetzalcoatl replacing the monstrous bat-mutant. TFS stands on it's own though, with plenty of fun and George Zucco's wide-eyed glare. A good, SHORT time-passer...
What an Interesting Feather...
George Zucco plays the villain in this little film. The story is very similar to Lugosi Devil Bat but more rural.
Zucco has found a Quetzalcoatl and keeps it captive. The serpent bird is very protective of its feathers. Zucco collects them and gives them to those he has a grudge against. The creature is then released which attacks the holder of the feather. Of course good triumphs over evil as it usually does in these old films.
The effects of the creature and its flights are actually quite sophisticated. Zucco does his usual good job as the villain and gets good support from the rest of the cast.
A fun old B-film that holds together well even after all these years.
