My father, Don West, was the production auditor for this flick. I remember he took me to the set where they had the prop for the giant crab. I was 10 years old. That thing was huge.

You may have met my uncle Tony Rigo (Joe) As a young kid playing with hot wheels and Heman this was the next coolest thing and the movie that got me into monster movies. My uncle never made a big deal of the movies he's in but I remember how proud he was with this one 🍻

ISLAND CLAWS was never released theatrically, but had its network television premiere on CBS in 1984 and was retitled NIGHT OF THE BIG CLAW. The special effects on this production was supervised by Academy Award-winning effects supervisor Glen Robinson (EARTHQUAKE; THE HINDENBURG; the 1976 remake of KING KONG; and LOGAN’S RUN). Those four movies all received a Special Achievement Academy Award for their respective visual effects.

I remember this one too. I Loved watching all those old tv disaster movie-sof-the-week -the first time anround, and instantly know them by the music. This was a fun movie that did the best it could on their budget, no doubt. Love the roaring giant crab, and bits of humor. And especially that compassion was shown for the people seeking asylum . Thanks for sharing this.

Makes me think of “Mysterious Island” with Ray Harryhausen’s giant stop motion crab.
@YDDES10 ай бұрын
Video The ”Mysterious Island” crab actually was a real crab. I suspect it was alive when filmed, it didn’t look like stop-motion. Anyhow, they ate it after they had used it for filming. No ”No animals were harmed during the making of this movie” at that time. During another film in recent time (don’t remember its name) They used a lot of fish and after filming, they brought out grill equipment and planned to eat those ”actors”. But, the animal defending people Said ”NO! You can,’t do that! That,s not allowed!”

WFTY 50 in Washington DC showed lots of ultra obscure sci Fi and horror films in the late 80s. I'd never heard of this one or "Zatt" or "Memories in my Mind". That last one I mentioned is one of those that has to be seen to be believed, it's so jaw-droppingly bad . Thanks for this.

Robert Lansing (Moody) played Gary Seven in the original Star Trek series.
@waynerobertlittle293911 ай бұрын
The Garry Seven story was being used as a pilot for a spin off series about him and the girl who was with him, but unfortunately it never got made. They were used more as central characters in that episode then the normal cast for that very reason.
