REPTILICUS-1961-In
Copenhagen, some scientists discover a frozen piece of a prehistoric
dinosaur. When one of them falls asleep leaving the freezer door
open, the piece thaws. The guys put it in some kind of incubator to
keep it alive. Grouchy American General Mark Grayson (Carl Ottosen)
goes on a tour of the city with some comedic UNESCO scientist.
Reptilicus grows and kills the scientists and some cows.
It could be
the worst monster in giant monster history. An obvious puppet, it's
scaly and slimy and shoots green slime (described as “burning acid
slime”). One victim is a cut out! Although it was usually said that
the US version of REPTILICUS was just a dubbed version with a few
added scenes, there were actually two separate films made. One for
Danish audiences directed by Poul Bang and the other for US
moviegoers directed by Sid Pink (JOURNEY TO THE SEVENTH PLANET).
There was a model too!
