Zarkorr! The Invader (1996)
[+]
(Foreign Titles)
Nomination Year: 2007
SYNOPSIS: In California, a giant monster (Zarkorr!) kicks its way out of a mountainside, and starts rampaging across the country. In New Jersey, a postal worker is visited by a six-inch-high hologram of a mall tramp which informs him that he has been chosen to fight the giant monster. In Michigan, the viewing of another Full Moon Entertainment Production has commenced.
Tommy (the postal worker -- not postman) is the median person on earth, which is why the aliens chose him to fight the monster. If he loses, our civilization will be destroyed. They (in the form of the aforementioned six-inch-tall mall-tramp hallucination) give him a few hints, and then leave him to his own devices. Luckily, he sees a crypto-zoologist being interviewed on the local news, and decides to head down to the television station to talk to her. From there, the plot careens along as though it were high on paint fumes, leading to the final confrontation between Zarkorr! and Tommy in (why not?) Yuma, Arizona (ToyCityToyCityToyCity).
