Did you people see the same film I saw?

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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.

The gorgeous scenery is the real star of this routinely written, CGI laden cheese fest. It can only really be recommended to die hard fans of camp and monster mashes, but they can derive some entertainment out of it. Director Jim Wynorski, using his pseudonym Jay Andrews, makes sure that the story never stops moving, and stages the attack & death scenes in a way that results in mild hilarity. At least his movie hits the ground running. The special effects are no better or worse than one usually sees in this kind of thing. Unfortunately, there won't be gore and T & A enough to suit the tastes of some members of the audience. Still, there are trademarks of Wynorski films here to make it easier to digest, such as the tongue in cheek approach and the gorgeous gals on hand.A weary David Carradine phones in one of his last few performances as a madman geneticist who created the massive lizards of the title. Naturally, they get loose and feast on assorted unlucky morons. Leading the charge against the beasts are a likable government operative, Paul Beaumont (Corey Landis), a super sexy conservation officer, Cassidy Swanson (Amy Rasimas Holt), her lawman father Charlie (John Callahan), and an Indiana Jones style hunter, "The Cajun" (Rib Hillis) - who, by the way, doesn't have a Cajun accent.The battle of the beasts promised by the title is over before you know it, leading to a fair amount of disappointment. Getting there is fairly entertaining, but this fight still isn't worth that much set-up. The actors are pleasant to watch if expectedly nondescript; stunning Danish babe Delia Sheppard (from Fred Olen Ray's "Haunting Fear") and Lisa Clapperton round out the main cast. Ultimately, the biggest groan inducing moment is that ultra predictable closing sequence.Five out of 10.

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.

What a lousy movie! I didn't expect classic cinema, but this creature feature isn't even enjoyably cheesy. Where is Godzilla when you need him? The advent of genetic engineering has created a new genre of science fiction, so audiences have a right to expect better storytelling. Every moment of the movie is predictable and the special effects are so bad that they're embarrassing. We all know that the monsters will break loose and snack on the extras before fighting each other. Why wasn't there more fighting when they finally met? That was the only reason anyone watches such films. With modern technology, the audience deserves much better. This effort (huff, huff) deserves not only a thumbs down, but a resounding Bronx cheer.
