REPTILICUS eluded me for years, except for my 8 minute reel of scenes in 8mm from K-Mart. I had high hopes we might get to see the original cut on the MGM DVD, but found my only exposure to Reptilicus in flight is still limited to a B&W magazine photo.

Buddy Ebsen was so good as Jed Clampett, Max Baer was hilarious as Jethro, and Donna Douglas was as beautiful as any lady on television. Nancy Kulp and Raymond Baiely were excellent as well. But it was Irene Ryan as Granny who gave the show its heart and soul, and I think that she was one of my favorite characters on any sitcom.She was just that funny, and yet gave the show a strong center.

For my part, I'll concede that there is no comparison between the two, especially the initial black-and-white seasons of The Beverly Hillbillies.

Jul 4 06 2:23 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	*Quote:* The difference between intentional and unintentional parody. Guess I'm just not a fan of _bad_ intentional parody, of which I consider the Beverly Hillbillies to be a perfect example. I didn't like that series in 1962, and taken side by side in that year, at age 16, I would have preferred Reptilicus. Today, I sorta expect unintentional parody to be evident in a large number of older monster/horror films, which further softens my view of them. ... Reed

Jul 11 06 4:04 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think I first saw REPTILICUS in action on either THE MONKEES or THE BANANA SPLITS or both! My fave scene is the astounding shot of the dozens of extras falling off the bridge into the river far below. "OK folks, who wants to be in a movie - all you have to do is run across this drawbridge..." Finally, has anyone actually seen the flying footage in the Danish version?

Jul 11 06 7:40 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've seen the Danish version. The flying scenes are short--I think it's just two or three shots. They are memorably bad, but the most jaw-dropping thing about the Danish version is the "Who's Afraid of 'Tilicus" song, which really has to be seen to be believed. It's like a demented Sesame Street bit.
