History Film / Reptilicus

* CoversAlwaysLie: The poster art for the U.S. version showed a gigantic draconic monster ripping San Francisco apart, destroying the Golden Gate Bridge, and laying waste to US Navy ships. The Danish poster art was comparative much more honest.

* [[CoversAlwaysLie Movie Posters Always Lie]]: The poster art for this movie showed a gigantic draconic monster ripping San Francisco apart, destroying the Golden Gate Bridge, and laying waste to US Navy ships. This was more exciting than anything in the actual movie itself.

* LargeHam: Mikkelson (Peterson in the U.S. cut)

* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Dirch Passer's character, Mikkelsen, gets a completely unmotivated and random comedic song number featuring a children's choir in the chorus, in the middle of the film, apparently solely because the producers thought the film needed a bit of musical relief.

Had a short lived adaptation from CharltonComics, but because they bought the film rights from the American distributor and not the Danish creators, they had to drop the title after issue 2. The story continued, however as ''Reptisaurus''.

* HealingFactor. Ridiculous amounts of it. Not quite as bad as [[Anime/DragonBallZ Cell]] but close.

'''''Reptilicus''''' is a 1961 Danish {{Kaiju}} movie, in the vein of ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''. It is notable for being the first and only Danish Kaiju film. A Danish-American co-production, an English-speaking version was filmed simultaneously with the Danish one, which led to the frequent misunderstanding that the two versions are the same except for language, but in practice there are quite a few differences between the two versions, as the two projects each had their own separate director attached and a couple of differences in cast. Notably, the American version also went through a somewhat heavier post-production and editing process than its Danish counterpart, due to demands from studio executives, resulting in it first getting released in 1962.

* SameLanguageDub: The film was shot with the cast phonetically speaking their lines in English to make it easier to sell in America, but the cast's thick accents forced it's American distributors to re-dub the entire film.

* BackedByThePentagon: Featured dozens of soldiers and displays of some of the best gear possessed by the Danish army (unusual at the time; most similar movies had to rely on Stock Footage).
