Producer Daniel D'or, an aerial photography specialist, filmed the movie's two helicopter chase scenes personally. Replikator was a successful low-budget B-movie in many territories including the United States. This led to a business partnership between D'or and writer–director G. Philip Jackson. Replikator was the first feature film for cinematographer Jonathan Freeman and the first feature for production designer Taavo Soodor.
