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
When it's not funny, it's unendurable.
"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). I mean, if the unconvincing special effects don't get you, the lifeless performances will! 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).
