There is definitely something rotten in Denmark!

And it ain't Hamlet...

Take a silly looking monster, toss in some green slime which looks like lime jello, then add in a scenic tour of old Copenhagen and you have the ingredients gor a genuinely absurd Sci Science fiction dud. The basic premise has the discovery of a dinosaur tail which begins to regrow after being defrosted. This leads to one scientist becoming a tooth pick and another having a heart attack after a screaming attack towards the military shooting at the giant beast

When a missle blows the lizards foot off, the stage is set for a sequel which fortunately never came. To add to all this is an Octoberfest celebration which includes a musical number! Wretched special effects add another element of disappointment while a lack of humor prevents it from camp and becoming a cult classic.
