"Birth Of A Legend: The Story Of The WAWA".

I really liked this little flick a lot. It's a pretty fun/funny low[no] budget indie 'creature feature' about a giant atomic swamp monster eating residents of a small town named 'Sweet Tee' in Alabama.The monster is created by the merging of catfish DNA with radioactive plastic fishing worms!? A freakin' brilliant idea!! Why hasn't anyone ever thought of that before?? The creature is given the name 'WAWA', which stands for "West-Alabama-Whoop-Ass'!! LOL!! The cast is made up of many Southern stereotypes with names such as 'Tird','Boom-Boom','Chigger','Catfish','Smiley', and 'Biggers'. It's features one of the weirdest daikaijus[giant monsters] to ever grace the big screen. I really enjoyed it. You can really tell that it was made with a lot of love for the subject matter and by real cut-ups..Here's a site with several pics and my interview with the producer: http://www.roberthood.net/reviews/interview-wawa.html and it's inclusion in a 'Top 20 Craziest Kaiju' list, with some bigger versions of some of the pics: http://roberthood.net/blog/index.php/2008/05/11/top-20-craziest-kaiju-number-6/ and here's the official website: http://birthofalegend.com/ I saw a screener copy just recently and really loved it. It reminded me of those old cheesy b-movies of yesteryear. I think that this little film deserves so much more attention than it has received. I really hope you guys like it as much as I did!!

Catfish Kaiju? Okay now I like that

Yeah, it's a really odd one. It's more of a mutant plastic fishing worm with catfish DNA kaiju, but still very funny. It's not a big-time kaiju effects romp, but is still a lot of fun for such a tiny budgeted indie film.
