Gila Monsters In Movies |
|
This is an alphabetical list of movies with lizards in the Genus Heloderma in them - commonly known as Gila Monsters and Beaded Lizards. They're all taken from the main Lizards in Movies List. Most of these lizards are supposed to be Gila Monsters in the plot, but sometimes the filmmakers use a Beaded Lizard instead, usually a Mexican Beaded Lizard because they look a lot like a Gila Monster. (Even the lizard in "The Giant Gila Monster" is a Mexican Beaded Lizard. You can see more pictures and read a description of the Gila Monster scenes by following the movie title link. Spoiler Alert !
