What might put you off
  • It's in Danish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1961: an older pace and style.

A portion of the tail of a prehistoric reptile is discovered in Denmark. It regenerates into the entire reptile, which proceeds to destroy buildings and property and generally make a nuisance of itself. It can fly, swim, and walk, and has impenetrable scales, which makes it difficult to kill.
