Review of Reptilicus (1961) by Martin B — 08 Oct 2011
Wow...ergh?..Wow... This is diffrent..
A gang of copper drillers (!) hits flesh and blood with the drill in Lapland (which for some reason is danish in this epic monster movie.).
They manage to bring up parts of a prehistoric monsters tail and bring it back to Copenhagen for examination, When they forget to keep it freezed it thaws and is brought back to life and starts growing to one really big ugly dinosaur that brings havoc to the city.
Denmark directly surrenders its military forces to a laconic american general who hates everything and dreams about beeing back in world war II again.
Very strange movie on many levels. It's partly a monster horror movie in bright 1961 colors with a redicilous dinosaur puppet and it's partly a commercial för Copenhagen tourism. Tourist attractions of the city is presented as in a tourist commercial on a tv-set in a railway station. We even got a jazz song in a jazz club in it's entirety side by side with loads of scenes of the monster tearing up Legoland as it seems.
So bad it's good.
