Soon a horde attack. Wilde, who's an myth debunk author who must now rethink his previous theories that he accounted as fictional, and Salt escape to a motel, but that night she's kidnapped by flying green goons… with Bernie Casey as the lead Gargoyle that, thanks to Stan Winston and Rick Baker, look authentic and creepy. So it’s up to Wilde; a local Sheriff; and a dirt bike riding Scott Glenn to save the day.<br />
<br />
This is a dusty gem for B-movie fanatics to cherish: a nifty-paced homage of old fashion monster movies and an inspiration for latter 70’s creature features including JAWS... since we don’t see the actual menace till the last half, the implied setup builds suspense, mystery, and character-development. And while it’s dated and downright silly at times, the end pays off nicely: with a premonition about who currently rules the earth, and who, and/or what, could one day inherit it.<br />

What a miscast... instead of a Jan-Michael Vincent or Tom Berenger type, an ultra-skinny Italian (John Travolta) plays a country boy Texan who wants to be a real Cowboy and then, after getting a roughneck job and meeting a flirty barfly (Debra Winger), is introduced to a bar room mechanical bull: becoming the only thing resembling a plot in this overlong Country soundtrack disguised as a big budget film (or vice versa). John Travolta yearns to be the mechanical bull riding champ: all the while breaking up with his girlfriend turned wife, shacked with ripped badass Scott Glenn who gets beat up by twiggy Travolta in an inevitable, and completely unbelievable, climax. So-bad-it's-good at times, and downright boring at others, this silly yarn does have a heart... beating somewhere. But what really matters is the geography. Not of Texas, but the giant nightclub Gilleys, a sort of city, and character, within itself. </div>
