Mega Python vs. Gatoroid Trailers

A fanatical animal rights activist releases giant pythons into the Everglades, believing the wild animals should be set free. When they start decimating the native animal population, an over-zealous park ranger feeds experimental steroids to wild alligators so they can fight back. The giant pythons and gargantuan alligators go on a killing spree, and it is now left up to the two feuding women to put aside their differences to put a stop to the creatures and the destruction.

Don't you just love when the infamous Asylum production discriminates your brain? It's just intolerable! I know, now you're thinking "then why did you watch that film?", because I want to issue a warning to all people who loves to watch movies, to avoid this at every cost. So, this movie was directed by Mary Lambert who directed "Pet Cemetery" and it's sequel. But, Mary is definitely one of those directors whose career was washed up and so, she joined the Asylum. Now… I don't know… I bet that producers of Asylum are the fans of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany… And they took this failed director and these two failed singers… oh yes, how did they call them? The 80s pop sensations? What sensations? The two of them had only one hit song that sucked big time. And they obviously wanted to show some kind of rivalry between the two "pop sensations", and they did it with the duel on a party, which was one of the funniest things I have ever seen… especially in the film that, like… tends to be somewhat "serious"… That duel was predicted by Bill Hicks, if you ask me… Now, what to say? Directing was horrible, acting was dreadful (all actors in this film… wow… they never ever heard about acting. Tiffany and Debbie were characters that presented a last straw in this crap, two failed "pop sensations" in failed movie career. Are they that dumb, not to notice that the joke was on their expense?), editing, music score, camera work, well… that's asylum… and CGI which is the highlight of badness… no need to talk about this… in this moment, my fingers are shivering and my brain hurts! Avoid this and do something better with your life, fill your bathtub and practice holding your breath for a… two hours. It's far more exciting than watching this turd.

This is a very strong contender for the title of best film ever made in the entire history of time.Now, i'm not saying that it's a great film, or even a good one really. It's just that the very existence of a film wherein '80s popstrels Debbie Gibson and Tiffany fight in a swamp... Debbie Gibson and Tiffany... mud-wrestling... It's like someone hacked into the dreams of my ten-year-old self and beamed them directly onto celluloid. The fact that the movie also contains giants lizards is just the icing on the cake.Said gargantuan reptiles may not be the greatest effects committed to film (in fact, the word "special" is possibly not applicable to these effects), but that just enhanced the charm. Speaking of "charms", hasn't Tiffany grown? She now resembles Karen Gillan's MILFy mother, and that ain't no bad thing. Still more of a Gibson fan, myself, though.Monsters, ex-teen pinups, and in-jokes galore. When the lines "I think we're alone now..", "There doesn't seem to be anyone around!" were uttered, i think i nearly spontaneously combusted with joy. Truly the stuff of a madman's dreams.

I like to watch movies with bad CGI, but this was horrible.The Mega Python and Gatoroid are supposed to fight, not team up on Tiffany and Deborah Gibson and A Martinez.And whats up with all the babies, Biting, Screaming, Scrathing and thats just the GIRLS, you said that movie producer, you said that.And we don't give a **** about Tiffany and Deborah Gibsons cat fights, bring out the monsters! Alright, lets cut to the chase, the plot is good, the acting was O.K, the CGI, no.Violence was very good, but the dialogue was stupid!But the movie was a LOT better than The Terminators (he,he).I would recommend this to any B- movie lovers so you better watch it, movie nerds, watch it.

Mega Python vs. Gatoroid starts in the Florida Everglades where animal rights activist & environmentalist Dr. Nikki Riley (Debbie Gibson) releases several large Python she had earlier freed from a scientific research laboratory. Park ranger Terry O'Hara (Tiffany) has seen a sharp decrease in the local Alligator population & soon discovers that the huge Python's have been killing them, Terry issues hunting permits to kill the Python's & restore natures balance but her fiancé Justin (Carey Van Dyke) is attacked & killed by one of the giant Snake's which upsets Terry, a lot. Angry Terry injects some dead Chicken meat with experimental growth hormones & feeds it to some Alligator's who grow to an enormous size, Terry feels the giant Alligator's will the giant Python's but instead the giant Alligaotr's & giant Python's just decide to kill anything & everything. Terry & Nikki have to work together to defeat the monster sized reptiles.Directed by Mary Lambert this is another vs. creature feature film made by The Asylum for the Sy Fy Channel, having already endured Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (2009) & Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus (2010) I thought I was prepared for anything but the level at which Mega Python vs. Gatoroid sucks at even surprised me. Now, there are some filmmakers that have a bad reputation & if their name is attached to a film then beware but The Asylum is fast becoming the studio to avoid, have they ever made a half decent film let alone a good one? They don't care, they are rip-off merchants who come up with great titles & package their films in boxes with cool artwork but the films themselves are always total crap, just like Mega Python vs. Gatoroid in fact. This is not a film, it's an absolute mess of bad CGI computer effects, hilariously bad acting, wretched character's & awful dialogue along with a totally random plot that makes no coherent sense or logic whatsoever. Don't give me the 'it's so bad it's good' clichéd crap either as Mega Python vs. Gatoroid is anything but good or fun. Sure, it moves along like a rocket & it has it's fair share of laughs with some unintentionally hilarious CGI & dialogue but when all said & done Mega Python vs. Gatoroid is painful to watch. There's no great reason as to why the Python's change from normal sized ones when Nikki releases them to huge monsters a day or so later & why the Alligator's end up huge is also stupid with Tiffany feeding them Chicken full of something or other that some guy gave her in one of the dumbest plans ever conceived in a film as Tiffany decides to create huge killer Alligator's to kill the huge killer Python's but obviously didn't think her plan through. Mega Python vs. Gatoroid is full of the dumbest scenes you can imagine, scenes that make no sense & will leave you amazed by their stupidness. Then, at the end the powers that be decide to honour the two women who released dozens of giant killer reptiles that caused the death's of countless people by naming a park after them! This film is just head shakingly bad from start to finish, it seems to have been written as they were filming & is truly a disaster from start to finish.Aren't CGI computer effects supposed to get better over time? Aren't they supposed to evolve? As far as these crappy creature feature films go they seem to be getting worse, Mega Python vs. Gatoroid features some of the worst CGI computer effects I have ever seen, they are embarrassingly bad. They are awful. There are a few 80's pop song references with nice ones for 'I Think We're Alone Now' & 'Only in My Dreams' & some of one-liners between Tiffany & Debbie Gibson is amusing as is the cat-fight the two have but the films still crap. There's a bit of gore but not much, there's a dead body with it's limbs severed, a severed head & some blood splatter but not much else. The editing is also horrible although the badly timed & rendered CGI doesn't exactly help make the action & certain scenes seamless.Although set in the Florida Everglades this was filmed in Los Angeles, as cheaply as possible. This is just awful filmmaking, everything is amateurish & badly done. The two 80's pop stars Tiffany & Debbie Gibson are game & give it their best but so what? The rest of the cast are stuck with awful dialogue & basically suck.Mega Python vs. Gatoroid is a terrible film, sure it's trying to be fun & maybe even slightly bad on purpose but blimey, this bad? A really boring & inept waste of 87 minutes, the type of film that gives even crappy Sy Fy Channel creature features a bad name. A great title, a fun sounding plot & great artwork on the box is all fine but the actual film is horrendously bad.
