Oh I knew you were being sarcastic. Don't think I didn't. You're SS4G after all.

And I have a huuuuge ego.

The only good lake monster flick that really pops into my noggin would probably be, LAKE PLACID, although that probably goes more in to the killer croc/gator terriitory, than lake monster.

[edgaguirus]

We'll have to be satisfied, cryptid wise, with Half Human.

[The One and Only]

Or better yet, 2006's ABOMINABLE.

[Showa Gyaos]

Or better yet, 2006's ABOMINABLE.

Believe it or not, I actually liked this movie. I thought Syfy made it, but they didn't. That must explain why it appealed to me.

[King Caesar]

^ Did Asylum make that movie...it looks like something they would conjure up in their deep dark pathetic studio? (Sorry I can't stand Asylum)

[The One and Only]

The ABOMINABLE poster shown there, and on the first DVD of the flick was painted/drawn by the same gentleman who did the posterart for all the Star Wars flicks, Indiana Jones, Back To the Future Trilogy, and a metric ton of classics from our youth. And ABOMINABLE was an indepeendent picture that was quite popular on the film festival circuit. Then its debute on the Sci-Fi Channel was one of their highest rated Saturday night flicks, before it was picked up by Anchor Bay Video for distribution on DVD format. A few years back a sequel, according to the flick's director/writer, a sequel was being co-scripted with the Godfather of G.I. JOE, Larry Hama. The plot featured a group of National Guard soldiers in the Flatwoods Mountains having to fight for their lives against other members of the creature killed in the first.

A toho version of Nessie... It would be interesting to see.

I think this movie would have sucked.

No, not really, I'd have rather seen this than any of the Godzilla lost projects. This had real potential, unlike the Godzilla projects in that this wasn't just a new star vehicle for the same character(s) and/or someone new. No, this was a unique project, and a joint between two famous film companies.

I'd take this over any of the stupid Bagan movies any day.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Oh God! Here we go again! Another discussion on what could have been instead of what is.

LOL yeah. And each time that happens every single comment is something along the lines of, "That would have been so cool! It's such a shame it didn't happen!" Because every unmade movie would have been a masterpiece right?

So what if it sucked?

If you make a movie, you take a chance on producing something entertaining. If you don't make it, well, the odds of making a good movie are precisely zero. So yes, it's always a shame if a picture doesn't get off the ground, especially when you've got some decent folks in the potential talent pool. Hammer and Toho? Sounds like the best pairing since gin and tonic.

[Gojisan866]

Eh, if this was made, it could've gone one of two ways. It could've been okay, or it could've sucked. I would've seen it either way. We already had the Giant Sea Snake from King Kong Escapes by the time this was released, along with Manda. There really would be no need for another serpentine kaiju. I would've seen it either way.

That's one pissed off Wilford Brimley!

I guess the closest we got to this was that episode of Godzilla the Series.

[Tohosaurus]

I do think it's unfortunate this never came about, even if the monster itself actually did get used in a different movie many years later. A well done Loch Ness Monster picture would've had some solid appeal in the western world, I suspect.

[edgaguirus]

The fact Nessie was the star would have drawn interest. It probably would have shown up on tv.

I always thought the beast looked more like Jack Elamb.

[hammysammy59]

This would have been really cool. Fresh Toho monsters are always welcome in my book, and it would be fun to see if Nessie would eventually get integrated into the Godzilla series, even if it was just a cameo or two.

[RogueShuffler]

I think its sweet that they werent just going to make it a movie about discovering Nessie and saving it or learning about it...no this Nessie is a brute and went on a rampage destroying an oil rig. I really wish this was made. Oh Toho WHYYY!!!

[edgaguirus]

Pardon the pun, but this project is probably dead in the water.

[Goji]

Lol. It has been for decades.
