[GoldenXtreme]

I was very intrigued ever since I heard about Q: The Winged Serpent the first time, and finally got around to giving it a watch. This is an American low-budget film from the 80s that smashes together a giant monster with a police procedural. I kind of expected it to be a quality movie for some reason, but it was a good stupid film instead! There is some kind of incoherent plot about an Aztec murder cult resurrecting Quetzalcoatl and our hilariously incompetent protagonist blundering around completely failing at all his attempts at crimes and extortion. One of those movies where the actual jokes fell flat but I found myself laughing out loud at all the unintentional comedy from the dialogue and plot. Honestly a pretty dang fun time. My biggest complaint is that this is one of those films with terrible audio editing, so the dialogue is often sounds mumbled and it blurs into the music and sound effects. It didn't have subtitles, so I ended up cranking the volume way up, which let me understand the broad strokes of what was being said, but it was not a nice way to watch.
