Incomprehensible plot, bad effects, negligible acting and cheesy dialogue is what you'll find in this ham-hocked monster movie. Dinocroc vs Supergator may be a hark back to the big bug/monster movies of the 50's & 60's but instead of a subtle nod of acceptance to these prior movies it's nothing but a big middle finger to both them and the viewer.Drake Industries, headed by none other than Kung-Fu master himself, David Carradine, has set up shop in Hawaii to initially try and cure world hunger by growing monster sized food. The success of this has somehow dictated that they now try the same process on live animals, so instead of choosing something that won't go crazy and kill everybody, like a rabbit or a puppy, they use 2 animals that'll kill you regardless of their size, a crocodile and an alligator.Of course these things decide to go nuts, escape their pens and proceed to eat everybody they come across. The scientist in charge of this dirty little secret calls back to Carradine, who seems to be suffering from "single location syndrome", and advises him of the chaos so he arranges for a crack team of commandos to fly in and quell whatever is going on there. No sooner do these incompetent idiots land, murder a surviving scientist and shoot aimlessly at CGI monsters, they're all eaten anyway. So they then recruit a game hunter called The Cajun of all things, to go in and do what a professional and fully equipped team was supposed to do but couldn't. In any event, after these things escape and eat their way through half of Hawaii, their solution is to get both of these monsters together as they are apparently natural enemies and let them kill each other. Here is where we actually get to see Dinocroc vs Supergator for all of 5 minutes before one gets killed off camera and the other is blown up by humans and we all live happily ever after. Interestingly not many people who appear in this last long enough to get annoying as no sooner are they introduced, they're killed off, so there's no time for any character development, as if that was ever going to happen in this anyway. I guess the funniest part of this is during a guided tour of the stars one woman keeps harassing the tour guide about the location of Elvis' bungalow so when she gets eaten it's a thank God for that moment. There's now enough of these nonsense movies - Sharktopus - Dinoshark - Piranhaconda - Megashark et al to keep most aficionados of horrendously bad movies salivating for years. I still don't fully understand why the giant sized crocodile suddenly had prehistoric spines running down it's back or why the Alligator was suddenly bipedal. There are a number of moments where this borrows heavily from Jurassic Park from Supergator chasing after an escaping vehicle to when they make roaring sounds. And seeing Dinocroc "galloping" along while chasing another vehicle is a scene I don't think I'll forget any time soon. I'm still not sure on the practicality of growing food the equivalent size of a 2-storey building; how do you cultivate it, ship it, distribute it and so forth. Curing world hunger is great but not if you can't get it into a pot. This movie is a huge lemon and not because David Carradine decided to hormone the crap out of it, it's just a horribly bad movie that should never have been made.

An unscrupulous biotech corporation run by the shady Jason Drake (a haggard David Carradine grumbling his way to a quick paycheck) create two gigantic reptiles in a secret island laboratory. Things go awry when the ravenous predatory beasts escape from the lab. It's up to earnest undercover government investigator Paul Beaumont (likable Corey Landis, who spends the bulk of the movie rocking a ghastly floral shirt), spunky Fish & Game officer Cassidy Swanson (fetching blonde Amy Rasimas Holt, who shows some tasty heaving cleavage since she doesn't bother to completely button up her shirt), and rugged redneck swamp hunter The Cajun (essayed with mucho macho aplomb by Rib Hillis) to stop the lethal lizards before it's too late. Veteran B-flick director Jim Wynorski, who also co-wrote the blithely inane script, relates the hysterically ridiculous premise at a brisk pace, treats said silly plot with gut-busting misguided seriousness, draws the colorful characters in amusing broad strokes, and delivers some absurd mild gore along with several sexy bikini-clad babes for the creatures to eat (the definite grisly highlight occurs when a buxom blonde bimbo gets bitten in half by the over-sized alligator). Moreover, Wynorski warrants extra props for having the admirable audacity to blatantly rip off the jeep chase from "Jurassic Park." The sincere acting by the game cast likewise deserves kudos, with 90's soft-core cinema starlet Delia Sheppard a particular stand-out as morally upright scientist Kimberly Taft. The laughably lousy won't-foul-you-for-a-second bargain basement CGI effects considerably enhance the rampant unintentional hilarity. The lively cheeseball score by Chuck Cirino, Al Kaplan, and Jon Kaplan does the rousing trick. Samuel Brownfield's slick cinematography gives the picture an attractive bright look. An absolutely kitschy riot.

First Dinocroc, then Supergator, and now this. Monster master Roger Corman is at it again! Scientists at a secret lab have developed a special growth serum that can grow plants to enormous size and help end world hunger. However, desperate to get more funding for the project, they reluctantly work for some rich guy with military contracts who has them test the serum on a crocodile and an alligator (reasons explained in the film). The serum not only makes the animals bigger but it also dramatically alters their appearance. Unsurprisingly, the creatures escape and wreak havoc so it's up to a special agent, an attractive park ranger, and a hunter called "The Cajun" to set up the reptilian smack down of Dinocroc vs Supergator.For a low budget film, this is an entertaining creature feature. The effects for the monsters are quite good and have enough detail. Because the creatures in the first two films looked so similar, a major appearance makeover came into session: Dinocroc looks much more dinosaur-like (like a Suchomimus) and Supergator looks much like an alligator with long spike on its upper back. It's almost like a miniature version of "Godzilla Raids Again" (a bipedal dinosaur creature taking on a quadrupedal spiny-backed beast). A lot of scenes were fun to watch like the car chases (a total of two), the attacks on humans, and the final fight. I also like the music in this movie, especially the epic choir that plays during the car chases.Of course it has flaws (then again what movie doesn't?). A few humans are idiots, there are a couple of silly moments, and the final fight was both too short and too one-sided; it could have been a little longer and more even but what can I do? It's flaws like these that tend to give movies like this a good "charm" to them.Bottom line, it's significantly better than most movies shown on the SciFi channel. If you wanna check it out, be my guest.

OK, apparently, you have to either love these types of movies or hate them...Judging by the other reviews, that is what happens. Some really like these monster movies and others wonder why they bothered.What I want to know is: Do these movies make MONEY?Average commercial price during these is about $10k. I guess if they run the entire movie half a dozen times, then they make back the budget. But do a lot of people watch them? So advertisers are either getting a really good deal or wasting their money. I can't imagine the DVD doing well, only from rental places that might carry it...I am just really curious if these movies make their money back, and why some other movie projects don't get green lights.
