Does anyone know the movie title that has a dragon or serpent around a
clock tower?
At the end a tank uses a flame thrower to burn the monster. It looks to
be a 1950's b-movie.
Any ideas?

My first thought was 'Q the Winged Serpent'. But a quick google search
revealed Q dies to bullets.
A search on google for the keywords brought up some fun results, like this
film:

Which I don't think is what you were after, but the synopsis is worth a
laugh.
Possibly someone else will remember it.

Q??? I thought the only "Q" in show biz was that omnipotent being(s) from
Star Trek: TNG...
OH! And then there's that guy from the James Bond movies... the gadgets
expert... I never thought there'd be a serpent out there named "Q"...
personally, I'd've picked a better name... {:8p
To the originator of this post: Since I'm not big on b-movies, I couldn't
tell you... sorry... *shrugs* {:8/
But I run across it in the video store, I may rent it... just to see what
this winged serpent looks like... {:8)

Q is short for Quetzacoatl. They obviously thought Q was the new sleek
trendy version of the name. Even gods have to move with the time and show
they're hip and happening. Or something.
(And no, I'm not joking... the film is about Quetzacoatl going on the
rampage in a modern city).

What is this in respnse to? Please quote previous messages so we know what

Although quite why an Aztec god was doing so is open to debate. You'd
think he'd at least pick Cortez's home city... ;)
