	Reptilicus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reptilicus, is a fictional prehistoric reptile first featured in the Danish giant monster film, Reptilicus, produced by Saga Studios and released there on February 25, 1961.
		The special effect used to bring Reptilicus to life is a wired marionette.
		Once fully regenerated from the tail section, Reptilicus went on an unstoppable rampage from the Danish countryside to the panic-stricken streets of Copenhagen before finally being killed with poison by ingenuous scientists and military officers.

		That is something upon which Reptilicus and The Hafler Trio hold no patent, but you must agree that they have a remarkable affinity for sound-making with taste and discretion.
		To those who like natural history recordings, Reptilicus and The Hafler Trio offer a dimension as basic and convincing as anything that rolled out of the open windows of Blues Barinn on a sweltering summer night, and they will find in their material individuality and a restless exploration for fresh sound and meaning.
		The truth is that Reptilicus and The Hafler Trio's work is all of these things and more, because they are artists whose style is as intensely personal as their fingerprints, no matter what the fabric of the sounds that they create — chiffon or burlap or deep piled velvet.

		For one thing, Reptilicus flies in the Danish version (he does not in the US version), and he does not spit green acid slime (as he does in the US version).
		Reptilicus is soooo bad that he makes the worst zipper-backed kaiju look like a masterpiece in comparison.
		Reptilicus spits a green acid slime, and the effect is created by simple animation.

		Reptilicus was 60 meters long and weighed an unknown amount of tons.
		Reptilicus would probably have used his teeth, claws, and coils in battle to constrict around an opponent and asphixiate it.
		However, Reptilicus had an ability Manda did not, and that was the ability to spit acid slim from its mouth.

	DVD Savant Review: Reptilicus
		For Arkoff's part, he uses the example of his having to recut, redub, and augment Reptilicus as a standard part of his speeches about his wise shepherding of that company, basically relegating Pink to the level of just another crackpot producer lacking the brains or talent to even know when he's made an unreleaseable turkey.
		Also added is the entire concept of Reptilicus' projectile slime vomit, which shoots from his mouth in big green globs; it's colorful and looks kind of cool, even if it's far too obviously just cel animation.
		On this latest viewing of Reptilicus I was still struck by the crudeness of its dramatic scenes and its uneven dubbing.

	Reptilicus (1961) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		"Reptilicus" is a rather easy movie to write a review about, since for almost all its length it follows the same, monotonous pattern: it alternately becomes laughably bad (when the "monster" is onscreen) and sleep-inducing (when it isn't).
		Those who are looking for unintentional laughs won't be too satisfied, either; sure, the green "acid slime" is funny for the first few times you see it, and the scene where Reptilicus eats a man who has changed into cartoonish form is hilariously embarrassing, but this is an one-joke comedy, and it soon wears thin.
		I have to admit, however, that the film is slickly photographed; when Reptilicus is offscreen, it's much more slick-looking that "Dr. No", for example, which was made the same year (1962).

		It is hard to live in Godzilla's shadow (now there's a scary thought...) and Reptilicus pales the moment you compare it to Japan's favorite city stomper.
		Reptilicus attacks Denmark and trashes homes in the usual monster movie fashion.
		Reptilicus falls exactly in that same mould except for one major difference: the film is not Japanese at all, but Danish, with the help of American International (the same guys that later brought you those Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello films like Beach Party).

		Chuckling, Martens replies that "Reptilicus will do." (Hey, he said the title!) He then leads them down the hall to a window overlooking the tank wherein the tail is currently residing.
		Given the effectiveness of one such weapon here, the obvious strategy would be to wait until Reptilicus is further from the sanctuary of the sea and blast him with four or five or, heck, two of the devices.
		Reptilicus appears to be represented here by a second and much inferior puppet, which is saying something.

		REPTILICUS was clumsily redubbed at Titra studios in New York, and only Claus Toksvig, a Danish journalist who already spoke impeccable English, was allowed to keep his own voice.
		Melchior claims that Pink knew all along that REPTILICUS would have to be dubbed into "real" English for its American release and pursuant to this instructed his actors to speak with a slow, robotic clarity to make it easier for the sound mixers lay the dubbing over the actual words.
		REPTILICUS flapped its way into cult-film legend, and it also flapped its way into a pornographic paperback adaptation which was packaged and sold by Monarch Books as a monster story for young readers.

		The scientist rightly does not want Reptilicus to be blown to little self- replicating pieces, but is clueless as to how to actually stop the spitting sauropod.
		Even when Reptilicus is distracted by a passing ambulance and the brave Capt. Brandt must give his life to get the puppet turned in the proper direction, it's a fairly ho-hum moment.
		You see, Reptilicus commits what is, for me, the Second Cardinal Sin of a movie, second right after Boring Me. I don't mind if a movie doesn't have a brain in its head; but when it assumes that I'm stupid, too.....

		Reptilicus was the warped inspiration of Sidney Pink, an American producer who also fancied himself a writer and director.
		His first project in Scandinavia was as lame-brained as anything to be found within the skull of Reptilicus-a TV sitcom series centered around two sisters, one beautiful and talentless and the other homely and talented, who try to make it as actresses in Hollywood.
		Reptilicus begins in Lapland, where the tail of a prehistoric creature is uncovered by a drilling team looking for oil or for copper, depending on the dialogue of the moment.

		God bless people who make movies like Reptilicus, which could only be made because, doggone it, these folks just loved the idea of making a movie—and which exists in digitally remastered form in 1998 because we love watching movies, even at their cheesy worst.

		By now, you’ve probably figured out that Sid Pink is also the man behind Reptilicus, which would have been far and away the loopiest giant monster rampage film ever, had Noriaki Yuasa and Nisan Takahashi not gotten it into their heads to invent the Gamera series.
		Reptilicus himself is a sort of snakey, dragony thing about 150-200 feet long, with either two or four legs that are scarcely worthy of the name and a pair of equally useless wings a little ways back from his shoulders.
		Reptilicus is a phocomeliac.) He’s sort of scaly and slimy and shaggy at the same time, and his best attack is his ability to vomit corrosive green slime for a distance of at least a couple thousand feet.

		Reptilicus proves he's one bad dude by eating a farmer, or at least a badly-drawn transparent cartoon of a farmer, somewhere along the way.
		REPTILICUS, by Sidney Pink the same guy who brought us THE MAN FROM O.R.G.Y. and THE TWONKY, is pretty close to being the bottom of the barrel as far as giant monster movies of 50's and 60's go.
		The reason REPTILICUS is so bad is not because of the pathetic special effects, the numerous plot holes or even the oddly inserted "Visit Denmark" scenes, but because of the atrocious acting by the entire cast, especially Carl Ottosen who plays a General with wild mood swings.

		Reptilicus was found in an arctic mountain copper prospecting rig in the lapland, yet the lush vegetation and the prospectors' lack of the usual arctic attire said otherwise.
		Peterson [film name & real name] was in the film while Reptilicus was in an "embryonic incubating state" for the purpose of warning the police when Reptilicus made his inevitable dramatic escape.

		To their credit, someone at the lab suggested that maybe they should build a bigger tank, but the next thing you know Reptilicus is on the loose and the absolute worst special effects you have ever seen are unleashed on Copenhagen.
		Well, there's one scene where Reptilicus is eating someone and what we see is a paper cut-out of a person going into this thing's mouth.
		They even stop the movie for about two minutes in the middle so that the general and one of the broads can drive around Copenhagen pointing out all the sights to him, like this was some kind of Chamber of Commerce travel video.

	Reptilicus Revisited!
		Particularly disheartening is the treatment they've given REPTILICUS, the much-maligned yet fondly remembered 1961 CO-production between producer/director Sid Pink and Saga Studio of Copenhagen that unleashed the monster of the title, regenerated from a prehistoric age, upon the Scandinavian Splendors of Denmark.
		When all is said and done, MGM's REPTILICUS DVD is a marginal improvement over the Orion VHS release from several years ago.
		The few brief instances of dirt and light scratches on the new transfer can be easily forgiven since the disc also allows closer examination of the miniatures used to bring the beast to cinematic life, revealing color and detail not discernible in the film previously.
