Wissenswertes
Terror Serpent (1988) was edited from Da she wang (1987), a monster movie from Taiwan, and released in some places under the alternative title of Terror Serpent. The 1988 version was handled by Hong Konger Godfrey Ho, a filmmaker known for taking footage from Asian movies he's acquired and splicing it together with his own footage in order to create truly hackneyed works of art that he then releases as an entirely new film with English dubbing that makes the typical old school Godzilla movies' sound positively Shakespearean.

Patzer
During the Mexican standoff between Ted Fast and Solomon, Solomon is first seen holding the revolver with one hand but in the very next shot, he's holding it with two hands.

Zitate
Ted Fast: Go on, shoot. Make my day, punk.

Awesome of expanded reptile girth rampage!

I'm sure Ian Curtis's soul can rest in peace knowing that "I Remember Nothing" has been used in a Godfrey Ho film. Did anyone tell Edgar Froese how much coverage Tangerine Dream have in these films? Both Phaedra and Logos turn up in this one. And what sounds like Throbbing Gristle? Weird.

This film is kind of like E.T. if E.T. was a snake who kept getting bigger every time it came into contact with electricity, who also loved a little girl so much that it was willing to kill everybody else in China to be with her. Such is love in the world of Godfrey Ho.

So Ting Ting (the girl) and Moslar (the snake) are buddies, and I immediately burst out laughing when a real live snake with a bonnet on it's head was forced to nod by some invisible wire. Thankfully we don't get much of this as when Moslar grows he's replaced by a rubber snake. Which makes things ever funnier.

The snake helps the girl win races, plays beach ball with her, and saves her from the hordes of gangsters who want the formula that made the snake grow in the first place. This film would be almost sweet if it wasn't for the gangsters and police graphically gunning each other down for most of the fist half of the film.

Luckily Moslar becomes truly giant and that's when things become proper mental. Godfrey must have been laughing all the way to the bank with this one because he hardly had to lift a finger to film some crappy tack-on white guy stuff. This film didn't need it. It's a truly insane classic of some kind.
