The Flying Serpent Summary Flying Serpent - Dvd Movie

The beast in The Flying Serpent is Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god of the Aztecs. Evil archaeologist George Zucco keeps this half-bird, half-reptile creature caged in a secret chamber within some New Mexico ruins, the better to guard a cache of Montezuma's hidden gold. The professor has obviously cracked under the strain of his studies, leading his stepdaughter to deliver the immortal line, "I wish there was never any such thing as Aztec Indians." (They probably feel the same way about you, honey.) The Q-monster's killings are investigated by a radio sleuth, adding a weird wrinkle to the scenario; important revelations in the story have a funny way of happening while the sleuth's show is live on the air. Two reasons for seeing this 58-minute cheapie from rock-bottom PRC studio: George Zucco, the tireless, beetle-browed villain of countless '40s B movies (with the occasional goodie, such as Moriarty in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, thrown in), and the campy Quetzalcoatl, a forerunner of Japanese horror-movie monsters. In this film, the Aztec deity generally resembles a poorly crafted piñata flung across a wire--he flaps his wings with that weird, aerodynamically suspect motion familiar to Rodan-watchers. For more on the adventures of Quetzalcoatl, see Larry Cohen's 1983 thriller Q: The Winged Serpent, a nutty variation on the same creature. --Robert Horton
