The fake mannequin head in Monster That Challenged the World. The monster's first appearance is the only time Arnold Laven's direction is anything less than smooth and skillfull. When Franklin in The...

Quote:The only flaw (if you could call it a flaw) I can think of in CK is that fake paper mache octopus in the 'News on the March' montage. Otherwise, it's as perfect as a movie can be. Most of the...

The sound of the elephant in THE VALLEY OF GWANGI. So obviously a human doing an incredibly bad imitation. Casting Michael Lonsdale as Drax in MOONRAKER. Peter Cushing would have been perfect in this...
