Having watched both "Dinocroc" and "Supergator" prior to this particular picture, I would just like to mention that there isn't much continuity between this film and either of its two predecessors. For starters, the original Dinocroc and Supergator were created in laboratories fusing dinosaur DNA with that of the respective creature. However, this movie takes a different approach and instead has scientists inserting a special growth hormone into both an alligator and a crocodile--who then subsequently escape and become man-eating monsters. In essence then, it's the same basic plot but with a slightly different formula used to get things started. Likewise, as far as the overall quality of this movie is concerned, I will just say that this movie shares many of the same faults as the other two as well. The acting is substandard, the special effects weren't very good and the suspense was non-existent. In short, this movie has very little novelty to offer viewers other than the fact that instead of one monster there are two. Other than that there is nothing really new. That said, unless a person really enjoys films of this type I would advise viewers to give this one a pass. Below average.

After escaping from a top-secret research lab in Hawaii, a hunter, a government spy, and a forest ranger team up together to battle the deadly, giant mutated crocodiles who are terrorizing the populace.This was another fantastic entry for the Sci-Fi Channel. Among the great stuff here is the absolutely fantastic amount of action within this as there's an absolutely relentless pace that is quite fun. This one offers the usual assortment of lengthy scenes and rather fun quick attacks that get quite enjoyable here, starting with the early scenes like the water- fall ambush on the couple or a pretty chilling attack at a group of hot springs that are designed as short, shocking sequences to get some fun into this. The longer scenes are also quite a bit of fun as there's even more here starting with the opening escape where it goes charging after the workers both in the open and hiding away, the enjoyable cheesy attack on the commandos with it's lengthy firefights and battle tactics, creature stomping and tons of rather fun assaults against the troops as well as a couple of intense chases which includes both the attack on the students in the jungle as well as a thrilling jeep chase that has a lot to like about it. The two big highlights, though, include the tour-boat ambush as there's the suspense of stalking the driver, the action and spectacle of it chasing everyone and finally leading into the movie's best part which is clearly the creature's fight with each other. It's long, drawn-out and gets some good time here to really let the two go at it while allowing for a few small mini-battles as the attempts to prevent either one escaping leads to some rather nice and worthy diversions to keep this one going. These here are more than enough to hold off the film's few problems, which starts with the usually risible CGI featured throughout here as there's very little about it that looks good or convincing no matter how good the creatures' looks and designs are. As this is to be expected, it doesn't harm the film as much as the inherently ludicrous, beyond lame science given for the creatures and their existence. There's hardly anything realistic or remotely accurate here about the creation of each creature and how each one is engineered into existence which doesn't seem the slightly bit logical or realistic. Beyond these issues, the only other part that doesn't seem all that interesting is the act that there's just no variation whatsoever in it's kills as everyone is either stomped or or chomped and that can really impact that gore in here with the sameness of the kills. These here are what hold the film down.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.

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.

Thank god for Roger Corman. I know everyone thinks that SyFy has cheesy movies, but that is what SyFy does AND they give young directors a chance at directing a movie.Remember those cheesy fiction films from the 50's? Remember the gorilla with a diver's helmet? Yep. Or that crab creature running the world. SyFy comes from that tradition. And of course those classic B movies have aged quite well. I suspect in 50 yrs these movies will have the same panache. But they are two close in time to Jaws, ET, and other big budget epics that make them seem sub standard, which they are, but they are cheap fun. And you get to see new actors.And, they are ripe material for the next generation of MST 3K.In Dinocroc, the "cajun" man has real potential. Anybody know Timothy Oliphant? Remember Blair Witch 2, or Hit-man? He got his start there.Where else can they go to get a million dollar budget and direct something. That means, crew, actors, music track catering,editing...they are learning their craft. Some will rise to the top as they did in the old days of the Corman studio system where he gave young directors a shot at directing, like Scorsese and many others.Now you all know the plot of this movie. How can you loose with babes in bikinis, and tourist being eaten. That is the core of Corman. Now some directors with panache may add some style to a movie with oddball humor or original twists.For example, when the tourist got off the bus and the croc was coming, a quip would be: Daughter: "Dad, what do you think when the croc gets of whiff of those tourists, what will he think".Sheriff: "Dunno, maybe...lunch is ready?"Take Tremors, for example. A really good film with Kevon Bacon and Fred ward, it is a story of a huge worm that is eating people. Very original, clever, and imaginative and fun and in broad daylight.Bacon: "I got me a plan".So you have hot babes (being eaten), tourists (being eaten), army guys (being eaten) bus drivers (being eaten) sheriff (beging eaten), and people running around screaming in this movie. Stir. Repeat. Add sauce.Some reviewers wonder how sugar cane dust can kill these monsters. Well, have you ever seen a grain elevator explosion? Dust is more potent than C4.The gator/car chase was really ridiculous tho. It is true that gators can run up to 30mph. They seldom do. It takes to much energy to move that mass and they rather lounge around and catch unwary prey.Even the fastest animals do not chase anything for very long. So enjoy those SyFy movies for giving directors a break and providing some low cost entertainment. They have to keep the doors open until the next Battleship Galactica.We love you Roger.
