* The titular monster itself is this, if unintentionally. SpecialEffectsFailure doesn't even begin to cover it. The most priceless thing about the whole situation is that none of the actors knew what the monster looked like, so they had to use their imagination. It probably looked a lot better than what was on screen. Supposedly, Jeff Morrow, one of the main actors, saw the movie in his home town and as soon as the bird appeared, the audience ''roared with laughter''. He left the theater early, afraid someone might recognize him and went home and got drunk.
