Repligator

Though it's always nice to see the likes of Gunnar Hansen and Brinke Stevens in movies, this godawfully unfunny sci-fi / sex "comedy" is nowhere near being endurable!

Granted, the idea of male-to-female-to-reptile transformation is intriguing. Alas, this movie makes it into a misery!

No, it's not the dollar store "special" effects, robotic "acting", or disastrous attempts at "humor" that make REPLIGATOR so reprehensible. All of these elements, handled correctly, could have resulted in a schlock masterwork.

Nope, it's the pluck-my-brain-out-with-ice tongs boredom factor that sinks this project! Not even the abundant nudity will keep the viewer's drooping eyelids from slamming shut!

Back away slowly...

All in all not bad. It has a few clasdic things in it. The best being an Oldsmobile Delta 88. I would think most schlock fabs get the send up or trope. 449 more to go...good editing and continuity. The cast again like some other shlock fest movies gave a good performance and not a walk through. I do not need to list any of those movies...you know it when you see it. So I think its worth a trundle through...you can always fast forward... It is a good movie for a movie making class to watch. It was done well and not over the top. Sometimes movies go in for the shock or sleeze but thus one gets it about as...end if 600 charactres.

This film is an inspiration to young movie makers.

This film is a terrible waste of tape but not a waste of time.

If you are a young filmmaker and you're feeling down on your luck when it comes to getting something put together... then see if you can get your hands on this movie.

It's obvious that these movie makers somehow found enough money to make alligator costumes and various special effects (although very cheesy). It was shot on film & transferred to an AVID NLE system (composer). They had money. Not Hollywood money, but the equipment they used does not come cheap… I'd guess about 10-20 thousand dollars… beginning to end.

It's a simple story, with terrible acting! I get a sense that this story was written overnight by somebody with ADD and an overactive imagination… on a post-it note. Who gave these people money to make this wretched thing? I don't want to be too critical of it. Every now and then, I like to see a film like this to remind myself that there are worse things out there being made all the time! :-) My GOD... listen to the music!! It sounds like it was written and recorded by my grandmother! Oh my gosh... people actually put their names on this production?! What an embarrassment... this is not portfolio material.

I tried to find the production company responsible for this, but it appears that they may no longer be around… gee, I wonder why.

I say, if you can find it at your local rental store for less than 99c CAN, then check it out. Be warned, it is a bad movie.

I am watching this as I write. I am a great fan of B-grade sci-fi movies. If you are not like me, avoid this like the plague.

The acting is not quite as bad as your average porno, and the nudity is gratuitous.

The question of having a load of military men transformed into nymphomaniac women that lust after their formerly co-gendered colleagues caused a bit of mental squeamishness.

And then there's that "From Dusk To Dawn"-esque plot twist at the halfway point: "She experienced a prehistoric orgasm that stretched her genetic code. Now we have Gator-Babe".

Pure genius.

A rather lower budget sci- fi film about scientists conducting experiments on patients regarding genetics for their own goods. As expected these experiments go wrong as the men are being transformed into women then once get turned on somehow their heads get morphed into alligators.

The acting isn't anything great as this isn't a film to be taken serious. The dialogue is quite cheesy and subpar. Nothing is exactly funny or unintentionally funny but seeing the low budget special effects is something.

With its flaws, there is a sense of entertainment and the film isn't exactly predictable. There is more skin shown than necessary as it scattered throughout in glimpses. Simply a film to pass time but credit should be given for its originality.
