RepliKator is a 1994 science fiction film starring Michael St. Gerard, Brigitte Bako Ned Beatty and Ilona Staller. In 1995 it took the Gold Award at the Houston Film Festival in the category of Sci-Fi / Horror and took the Silver award for Science Fiction at the Charleston International Film Festival. It was mostly a direct to home-video film but in Japan, Canada, Korea, South Africa, Malaysia and Indonesia, it had short theatrical and multiplex releases.
Producer Daniel D'or, an aerial photography specialist, filmed the movie's two helicopter chase scenes personally. Director G. Philip Jackson had directed two ultra low budget movies, the $200,000 Strange Horizons (1989)aka Project Genesis in some territories; and the $60,000 (1982) feature sci-fi The Music of the Spheres. RepliKator turned out to be a substantial business success as a low-budget B-movie in many territories including the United States. This led to a business partnership in which D'or and Jackson produced and/or directed 17 feature films together and two seasons (44 one-TV-hour episodes)of the television series Starhunter in 2000 and Starhunter 2300.
The film was known as an incubator for emerging talent; it was the first feature film for the Cinematographer Jonathan Freeman who went on to do cinematography for the television series Rome, Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. It was also the first feature for Production Designer Taavo Soodor who subsequently was Production Designer on substantial theatrical films including Owning Mahoney with Philip Seymour Hoffman.
