Go To


1	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The Danish version's musical scene with Dirch Mikkelsen (played by Dirch Passer) and a bunch of children.
2	* HarsherInHindsight: The film featuring a forest in the arctic would be considered merely illogical when it was released, but given climate change, that's becoming more and more a reality.
3	* MemeticMutation:
4	** Dirch Passer's comically over-the-top DoubleTake[=/=]EyeTake from the film, as seen [[http://i.imgur.com/KPfAqed.gif here]], has become a popular reaction image.
5	** [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ifEI7OlkQH8 The infamous song scene from the original Danish cut]] is also quite popular in Kaiju related shitposts.
6	%%* SoBadItsGood
7	* SpecialEffectsFailure:
8	** The quality of the footage used for Reptilicus is so much lower than the footage for the rest of the film that it looks like it was shot for a different movie, with no apparent effort to composite the shots to make it seem like the soldiers are even in the same universe as it, let alone shooting a thing right in front of them.
9	** The green slime that is shot out of the monster's mouth is not only horribly out-of-place, but looks like ''stop animation'' when it happens.
10	** One of Reptilicus' victims turns into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=javwT9eyR9g#t=3m59s a cartoon-like outline]] as he is devoured.
11	** The Danish version of the film has shots of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M68wG0LRkE Reptilicus flying]] that were cut out of the American version for ''looking too ridiculous''. Think about that for a second.
12	** The monster itself can fall under this to several people. [[OurDragonsAreDifferent On the other hand, it's actually a fairly accurate copy of traditional Norse dragons.]]
13	* StockFootageFailure: Most notably the montage of ships allegedly destroyed by Reptilicus during its rampage. ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'''s riffing even points out that several shots were footage of ships sunk during the Suez Crisis, which would have been even more obvious to viewers watching in 1961.
