This quirky monster movie from Larry Cohen isn't meant to be taken too seriously - as it couldn't be with a monster straight from Jason and the Argonauts . Michael Moriarty stars as an inept crook who stumbles on the lair of a winged serpent preying on New York and attempts to sell the information to the mayor. Moriarty's mannered acting style is an acquired taste and he's given too much rope here but it's worth a look for its offbeat tone.
Candy Clark ( as Joan )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Candy's career got off to a flying start with an Oscar nomination for American Grafitti , only her second film. She also made an impression alongside David Bowie in The Man Who Fell To Earth. Thereafter her career slowly declined and she was seen less regularly from the nineties onwards though she remained active up to 2018.
Mary Louise Weller ( as Mrs Pauley )

Death : Survives
Mary has a one scene cameo early in the film.
Linda Gilbert ( as Shephard's wife )

This was Linda's first film role, a one scene cameo with real-life husband David Carradine.
Bobbi Burns ( as sunbather )
Sex : Removes her bra and applies cream to her breasts
Death : Carried away and devoured by the serpent
