About Thunder of Gigantic Serpent
A secret formula that can cause plants and animals to expand a thousand-fold in size is stolen by a terrorist group. During a wild chase and shoot-out, the formula is lost. It's found by a little girl who accidently gives the formula to her pet snake. After the snake grows to an immense size, it follows and protects her. When the terrorists go after the girl, the snake begins destroying everything in its path. Hong Kong cut and paste edit of the 1987 Taiwanese film "大蛇王" (King of Snake) with new scenes.
Directed by Lee Chiu, Thunder of Gigantic Serpent leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Kirby, Edowan Bersma, Danny Raisebeck — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1988.
