Lizards in Movies   Trog (1970)   Spoiler Alert ! Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching the film.   This is a low-budget horror / science-fiction movie about an anthropologist who tranquilizes and captures a Troglodyte, a half human/half ape cave dweller. She brings him back to her lab for study, but people fear that he is a monster. We see a scene with the anthropologist Dr. Brockton (Joan Crawford in her last feature film) and her daughter Anne (Kim Braden) as they feed Trog. We see a bucket full of fish and what appear to be rubber lizards. Dr. Brockton says Trog is not a carnivore, yet they feed him dead animals, which is the definition of a carnivore. They throw a lizard to Trog and he picks it up and eats it.

Dr. Brockton" "You don't think they had stoves a million years ago, do you?" Man: "Is that the ideal diet for Trog?" Dr. Brockton: "For the present, yes. Trog is not a carnivore. Fish and lizards will supply the proteins he needs until we can safely expand the range of his feedings." "Trog! Here Trog! Good boy!" Anne: "Not so fast, you'll get a tummy ache!" Dr. Brockton: "Go ahead, Ann, feed him some fish, now." You can watch Trog and read a plot synopsis at The Silver Scream.
