For a long time, that photo was considered to be one of the more genuine, only to finally be revealed as a hoax. Thanks for the link!

Mar 24 11 3:22 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I seem to recall seeing a poster from Hammer promoting NESSIE back in the mid-Seventies which depicted the monster attacking an offshore oil rig. Here's a link to an unproduced 1979 screenplay called THE SEA DRAGON OF LOCH NESS...in which the monster attacks an offshore oil rig. Coincidence, or simply a case of recycling an unused idea...? http://www.mypdfscripts.com/unproduced/the-sea-dragon-of-loch-ness Last Edited By: BijouBob8mm Mar 24 11 3:24 PM. Edited 1 times.

The first time I saw it I was totally unprepared for all the intentional humor; just the scene in the board room of the Natural History Museum is alone worth the price of the movie! And the dialogue exchanges in the pub scenes ... and Seymour Hicks, as the blustery and volatile Professor Heggie, is wonderful! Yessir, in the "bombastic/cantankerous/reporter-hating zoology professor" derby, Heggie is the champion, the rest are mere challengers ... Mere challengers. Oh, you wag. I've wanted to see this movie for years and your post was the final incentive. The first place I looked was Netflix, which does not have it. A search for "Loch Ness" does reveal several titles, including .... this: Puppetry of the Penis: Tackle Happy(2002) NR "Simon Morley and David Friend made a name for themselves by traveling around the world manipulating their not-so-private parts in their popular "genital origami" show. This entertaining documentary follows the duo on their first tour of Australia. Go behind-the-scenes and learn what makes these blokes tick, then watch in amazement as they twist their genitalia into hamburgers, the Loch Ness monster, a nuclear explosion and more." Shades of Flesh Gordon.

The last time I saw it was in a book about Japanese monster films, I was reading about it in Las Vegas BTW, and the monster looked very serpentine with two fins. It is like a mixture between a fish, crocodile and serpent.

Apr 30 13 10:56 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think I mentioned this in a previous post, but just in case: They actually had a couple of Nessie's for the Wilder film. They built one and started shooting it in Loch Ness. The thing wasn't built for open water and sank. (So there's at least one monster down there...I recall reading about some researchers finding it several years ago.) Attempts to raise it failed, so the filmmakers had to build another and film it back at the studio. (Don't think I've seen a photo of the original Holmes Nessie, but have heard it looked better than the second one actually used in the film.) Last Edited By: BijouBob8mm May 3 13 8:52 AM.
