MOVIE
Forget the fact that this movie is the bastard child of Fox's Gargantua and Secret Agent Super Dragon. Forget the lame hand puppet monster that regenerates from a petrified turd. Yes, even forget Petersen, the dim-witted retard who would've undoubtedly been a cheese-eating Packers fan, had his ancestors emigrated to America. The reason we were all there? To say goodbye and honor the memory of Andre Ontor Bowleg Xenu Pertawst Conrad Bain III. Why he left, no one will ever know. Why he picked this steaming pile as his farewell performance we also will never know. Bowleg now joins the great Home Game Hall of Fame, along with James Bond sidekick Q and notorious filth merchant and publisher of Screw Magazine, Al Goldstein.
HAMDINGERS? CHEESY DANISH THE BOWLEGGED MAN'S FINEST ROLE
SEE! - THE DANISH PEOPLE HUMILIATED!
Crappy movie fact #32: Reptilicus was such a cult hit in Europe that a pair of Icelanders used the movie as the inspiration for the name of their experimental music group. They cite their influences as Friedrich Nietzsche, Old Norse epic poetry, and other heart-warming Nazi-esque aspects of their Teutonic heritage.
Balthayzr> Fun fact: The scenes of Reptilicus flying were cut because they looked "Too Fake" Hoo-boy.
BryanL> Mr. Pink!
mgrasso> mr. pink sounds a little too much like mr. pussy
BryanL> We've struck Blood! We're rich! Call the Red Cross!

MrBooze> Up next on the World's Craziest Records, we travel to Copenhagen where scientists have preserved the longest recorded continuous piece of human excrement ever found...
mgrasso> "our little denmark..." people have such cute names for their genitalia
BryanL> This movie just redefines the "walk-on".
BryanL> Regeneration. You know, usually brought on by a magical ring.
MrBooze> A mouse can lose it's tail, then have it soldered back on.
mgrasso> product placement: i could really go for a "nordisk electric"
KevinL> I don't really get what's supposed to be so scary about this movie. I mean, it's not like the reptilicus will grow to giant proportions, break out of it's giant tank, and destroy it's creators, who arrogantly thought they could control the forces of nature or anything.
Djenk> And now...the worlds worst electrocution impression
THX-1138> Did they explain why the open electric eel tank was sitting in the hallway?
MrBooze> I bet if you shoved that flashlight up his ass and turned it on his head would light up like a jack-o-lantern
mgrasso> "why not tri a holiday in danmark this year?"
Balthayzr> And, they edited in a travelogue to pad out the film.
BryanL> Footage purchased at the Denmark Stock Exchange.

Ironf> Our only hope is to lure the Loch Ness monster out and over the ocen to fight it.
BryanL> You know, as bad as this is, it's still going to be better than Devlin and Emmerich's "Godzilla".
Djenk>
mgrasso> wow. that is *gay*
Ironf> I totally belive that is a giant Reptilicus. Totally
Bice> Still, it looks more realistic than the werewolfs from Werewolf.
KevinL> No matter how much they shoot it, they can't stop it from relentlessly swaying in place and shrieking.
BryanL> Great. Now it's gonna regenerate again.
MrBooze> And Reptilicus holds up a giant pack of MENTOS...the end.
mgrasso> ed begley jr. as omar bradley in "reptilicus: the longest day."
KevinL> Why doesn't one soldier just walk up behind it and stab it in the back of the neck?
Djenk> Why did they keep switching to Super-8 film stock?
KevinL> That thing can really hold it's ground, being completely incapable of movement and all.
mgrasso> just run a hot rod into him and dive out! whoops. wrong giant lizard-monster movie
BryanL> At least it's voice isn't completely and utterly annoying.
mgrasso> o/~ "in the navy.." o/~

BryanL> We are gathered here today, to pay tribute, to the guy who'se an hour late for his own swansong. :)
andro> So Reptillicus is sort of a thinking man's Manda, huh?
Bice> Maybe the soldiers should leave the *real* city and head for the miniature city the Reptilicus is in.

andro> This film depicts a certain harsh realism missing from today's movies.
mgrasso> hopefullly, there'll be no footage of the hitler building here
BryanL> It's the Battle of the Line. The sky was full of stars, and each one, an exploding Danish tank.
Balthayzr> Reptilicus is fleeing to the suburbs, just like all the white people.
Bice> "Penetrated the line" "Concentrated firepower"...this movie's getting me hot.
MrBooze> You know why the Danish will lose? They don't have an annoying small child to help them.
andro> Atlas King in a role that will sound foreign.
THX-1138> So the plan is to sneak a gallon of date rape drugs into Reptilicus' drink? Sounds good.

"Henry, as an American, you've drilled all over the world."
"Since when must I tell you how to find a man?"
"I have never seen bone fragments. Like this. Before."
"Most of them are victims of that burning acid slime."
"Then we'll clobber him with our heavy stuff."
"What if I used my heavy weapons? A bomb!"
"There's one place I think we can penetrate..."
"You'll have to fire point-blank at very close range."
"Let's go!"
As far as flying lizard movies go, mgrasso prefers Q, The Winged Serpent.
