StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

GazerRise Fantastic!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

TheCrowing13 My lord, who made this film. I don't understand if people want to make a low budget T.V. monster movie, why don't they show more monsters. There isn't enough in this film. They all focus on the humans acts to escape, which no one cares about. I'm not surprised that bout 3/4th's of this cast has most likely appeared in a porno. The only interesting thing I thought was amazing, were the random zombies that are thrown in as a side effect to the komodo's saliva. Lame? or super-amazing? hey there zombies can't get much cooler then that. The story is simple. People want to solve world hunger, government gets interested and gives them a komodo(s). They get big and eat people. Well a group of criminals are thrown in for a sub-plot that lasts around 30 sec. None of the actors are interesting and I often confuse this movie with "Komodo vs. Cobra", which is literally th exact same story but with cobras thrown in too. Special effects are average for a T.V. movie but I still feel they should be much better for the year the film was made. I swear this film was a porno but all the sex was removed and they kept one nude scene in then added more pointless dialog. 2/10

Scarecrow-88 The brainchild of military man Foster(Jay Richardson)regarding giant Komodo dragons against American enemies is given birth thanks to scientist, Professor Nathan Phipps(William Langlois)who has bio-engineered the supposedly extinct species into massive dinosaur sized monsters, quite carnivorous and hungry for food. Along with a few associates on an island compound near Hawaii, Phipps, his daughter Rebecca(..porn starlet Glori-Anne Gilbert, who isn't in this flick because of her acting ability, having a nice little topless bathing scene near water falls), and his assistant Dawn(Gail Harris)attempt to find a way at controlling the beasts without success. Meanwhile, a trio of casino thieves hitch a ride with paid alcoholic ex-military pilot Jack(Tim Abell, an ex-porn actor who gets a chance to play hero in an action adventure)who lands them on the island containing the Komodo dragon. Jack informs cranky muscular head heister Drake(Paul Logan), his lover Tiffany(Melissa Brasselle), and fellow thief Reece(Cam Newlin)that his chopper will need repairs, but they will soon find themselves joining forces with Phipps remaining crew against a giant Komodo dragon whose outer skin seems impenetrable from gunfire as everyone fires endless rounds at it without effect, just annoying the beast. Phipps' compound is guarded by an electric fence but they are low on fuel and the generator is on the fritz. With a plague deriving from a slime secreted by the Komodo dragon causing those infected to slowly succumb to horrible skin rashes, sickness and erratic behavior, and that Komodo loose and hungry, the group will attempt to make it for Jack's chopper due to the fact that Foster won't send a rescue team to fly them off the island. But, it won't be easy as the Komodo always returns to feast on human meat when it can corner victims.When inspired, director Jim Wynorski makes other films than just porn spoofs which is the case with this creature feature. It's nothing that you haven't seen numerous times on Sci-fi channel(..for which Wynorski has been a major contributor with numerous killer monster flicks), but I found it an entertaining enough time-waster. You get to see the Komodo dragon gulp a few humans. For a low-budget horror adventure, the special effects of the monster are the standard you are use to seeing on the Sci-fi channel, not really that bad or mind-blowing, either. The film alternates between our folks on the island squaring off with their sharp-teeth beast and the military headquarters of Foster. Unlike many of Wynorski efforts, the film plays it straight, not layered with tongue-in-cheek humor. As usual, though, Wynorski has two actresses with large fake breasts. Gilbert is a Wynorski regular who has starred in several of his porn spoofs such as "Witches of Breastwick" & "The Breastford Wives"(..also starring as a fantasy girl in another Wynorski creature feature "The Thing Below"). She attempts to emote, but couldn't act if her life depended on it. Abell isn't so bad and could make a living in these type of genre flicks. He'd probably made it well in Italian rip-offs back in the late 70's/early 80's. Brasselle is a major babe who serves as a very ripped source of eye candy. Logan as the brooding heavy Drake(..who shoots the late Buck Flower in his opening scene because Reece mentioned his name while they were looting a casino)might be familiar to those who have his seen him in a bevy of porn flicks. The film has a nice pace, with decent inserts of military footage, and fulfills all the requirements of a B-movie adventure flick. It's supposed to be escapist fare and is geared towards fans of creature feature flicks. Could be better. Could be worse. It is what it is.

gbolyard That in the "bombing" and "hes turning into a zombie" scene the lines of this movie and its counter-part Komodo vs. Cobra were exactly the same. In the "they got off the island" scene, the only thing that was changed was the name of the sergeant! Did someone run out of money for the script writers?Also, this movie was based in the '00 but the Geneva Conventions, Napalm was banned as a unfair chemical, along with nerve gas, etc.I wish someone would have made this movie better, it was sort of a good plot.

straight_shooter_18 I just have to comment on this movie! I actually watched it with 2 of my friends and we couldn't help laugh at every single scene in it. Its a disaster as an action movie, but as a comedy this movie is an A-class one...There are just too many plot holes, you don't know where to start, and the komodo looks much like a clay lizard incorporated in the movie using stop motion animation. It just runs after the characters and they keep shooting at it (with unlimited clips in their guns by the way). When the characters are stuck in a corner, it will stand at a distance and enjoy the line of fire as bullets Pierce its scales, but if they are running away and shooting at it, it continues to run after them for some reason and the bullet holes never appear in its scales yet again for some reason and then a zombie appears at the end of the movie and you have no idea where it came from or what the hell its doing in the movie!!....Just take it from me, if you are ridiculously bored or drunk, gather some friends and watch this movie....for the laughs, and for the breasts scene!
