Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is Denmark's first, last and only giant monster film as of this date.
- GoofsThe film begins in the frozen mountains of Lapland, above the Arctic Circle. However, there is no snow shown in the first scene, and the miners appear to be in a tropical jungle instead.
- Quotes
Capt. Einer Brandt: Is there anything I can do for you?
Gen. Mark Grayson: Yeah, get me transferred out of this damn place!
- Alternate versionsA few scenes in the Danish version of the film in which Reptilicus was shown flying were cut from the U.S. version of it before it even reached the U.S. because its producer/U.S. director, Sidney W. Pink, thought that they looked "unconvincing".

Featured review
I have actually met the writer
I think that there should be a different grading chart for low budget films. To automatically make fun of the production value is unfair. The makers of such films are well aware of the limitations of their vision due to budgetary constraints. While a movie like Reptilicus may not be a ten it is a hell of a lot better than Anaconda. Ib says he substituted imagination for dollars.
And this is how it should be viewed. A great task of suspending belief is what the audience is required to do. Set the sophistication of our current media consumption aside and enjoy a campy horror/sci-fi/adveture/whatever film that was probably meant to be a fun time at the drive-in that worked double duty at putting the kids to sleep before the picture everyone went to actually see begins.
Reptilicus is certainly more watchable for this reason alone than many simliar in the genere that had a much larger budget.
That being said, Reptilicus, still, is not a classic.
Check out Ib's other movies. Deathrace 2000 you might actually fall in love with.
