Q: The Winged Serpent should have ended with David Carradine growing many times in size like a power rangers monster then getting into a kaiju fight with Quetzalcoatl for the final act.

I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I find it fascinating that Rupert Murdoch is named-checked in the 1986 cult horror film Q...
All I'm saying is maybe that person revealing all the deep-state secrets is an ancient Aztec winged serpent.
Prove me wrong.

Q the Winged Serpent has Michael Moriarty at his most compellingly weird and a cool puppet, with some fun bits from Carradine and Richard Roundtree to bevel things off. An extremely Larry Cohen movie.

I didn't really mean for the different takes on Quetzalcoatl to be so different in size, but the one just doesn't have much detail so I don't feel too bad about it.

#HARPERSMOVIECOLLECTION
2024 MOVIE LIST
www.tumblr.com/theharpermovieblog
I watched Q: The Winged Serpent (1982)
Never seen it, but it's been on the list forever.
A lousy criminal and a cop both have run-ins with ritual sacrifice and a giant flying creature in New York.
Director Larry Cohen made movies that were no doubt B-movies. But....there is a level of sophistication in the mix. A movie like "God Told Me To" has a feeling of being cheap and cheesy for sure, but elevated on some level. All the elements of a decent drama that just so happens to be a wild B-horror film. And, the same can be said about "Q". This movie is essentially a New York crime drama with an Aztec God dropped into it.
The best scenes here aren't even the monster scenes. Sure, those are fun and cheesy and bloody and "So Bad They're Good"...however, they can't hold a candle to the city hall meeting room scene or the diner scene...or even the piano player audition scene. These other, more mundane, moments are well acted, well written, and allow us to lose ourselves in the story of our very broken lead character. Sometimes you forget this movie starts with a window washer getting his head bit off by a giant bird.
And, let's take the main character and dissect him for a second. He's loathsome. Sure it's made clear he's gotten a bad rap in life, but he has a history of selfish behavior, hitting women, and drug abuse. He's dumb and cowardly. But....he's interesting and not exactly who you'd expect to be the lead in a movie where a flying creature attacks a city.
That's Larry Cohen as a filmmaker I suppose. He makes B-movies that feature monsters and aliens and silly shit, but he always manages to show these talents for writing and for character that exceed what is expected of the film he is making. It's almost a middle finger to mainstream movies. "Yeah, I could make a damn good straightforward crime drama, but here's a scene of a swat team killing a baby-bird-god-monster while it hatches from an egg." I admire that. Maybe Larry Cohen movies aren't my favorite movies, but there's a lot here that I love.
"Q: The Winged Serpent" is a silly B-movie that is totally worth checking out if you like cheese and fun and the like, but while watching, take in the moments of solid writing craft that's on display here. Especially after knowing Cohen wrote it in only six days.
