Cast

Production

Producer Daniel D'or, an aerial photography specialist, filmed the movie's two helicopter chase scenes personally. Replikator was the first feature film for cinematographer Jonathan Freeman and the first feature for production designer Taavo Soodor.

Release

The film was mostly a direct to home-video release but had short theatrical runs in Japan, Canada, South Korea, South Africa, Malaysia and Indonesia. The film's success in many territories including the United States led to a business partnership between D'or and writer–director G. Philip Jackson.

Reception

In 1995, the film took the Gold Award at the WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival in the category of Sci-Fi/Horror and took the Silver award for Science Fiction at the Charleston International Film Festival.
