This highly entertaining film from larry Cohen stars Michael Moriarty as a loser criminal who suddenly finds himself the savoir of New York when he discovers the hiding place of a giant prehistoric bird that is killing people in New York.
Great shots of the monster killing people on rooftops and such. The stop motion animation is excellent and David Carradine and Richard Roundtree are very good as the two cops investigating the case as well as Moriarty's criminal activity.
Check this movie out. I highly recommend anything Cohen makes.

No lie, I watched this one again just last week. The film really has 2 plots, and it's interesting how they converge. And the special effects are a hoot.
