Beginning of the End (film)

"Col. Tom Sturgeon: Where do I get off asking the Regular Army for help with a bunch of oversize grasshoppers?"

"Gen. John T. Short: Dr. Wainright, you're a scientist, you know what grasshoppers can do. I'm a soldier, I know what guns can do."

"Dr. Ed Wainwright: You can't drop an atom bomb on Chicago!"

"New thrills! New shocks! New terror!"

"Filmed in New Horrorscope!"

"So Big...we had to coin a new word for it...NEWMENDOUS!"

"The screen's first full-length science-fiction thriller with real live creatures!"

"When we needed grasshoppers, I didn’t want to use the ones we had in California. At that time there had been almost a plague of locusts in Texas and I saw them in the paper. They were perfect….just the kind I wanted. I thought I would contact an entomologist there and have him ship me a bunch. But the state of California said no, you can’t bring them into the state. They were afraid they would mate and create another plague."
