Dinocroc vs. Supergator (2010)
On a lush tropical island, working under a secret government charter, Martin Drake has not only grown sprawling acres of giant vegetables, but inadvertently spawned two mammoth reptiles as well. Now they've broken free of their enclosures, and Drake has only one option: kill the creatures before word gets back to Washington and they close him down. When Drake's first team of well-armed mercenaries gets wiped out within hours of setting down in the jungle, he turns to one lone hunter, The Cajun, to go in single-handedly. But will The Cajun be cunning enough to find the creatures and destroy them before they turn the blue waters red with the blood of tourists. The only hope is to bring the monsters together and make them fight. When one emerges victorious, that will be the time to strike and kill the other. It's a risky plan, but ultimately the only one that may work. One of David Carradine's last movies.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Under the watchful eye of producer Roger Corman, director Jim Wynorski presents a big croc; and a big gator as a double threat to society before turning on each other. Created by devious and ego maniacal Jason Drake(David Carradine),in a secret island lab, dinocroc and supergator are groomed to humongous proportions...ooops! Damn, they escape and it seems bullets and explosives only make them hungrier and meaner. These reptiles are ready to eat tourists, scientists, almost naked bikini models and even a small militia when available.Called to the rescue are undercover investigator Paul Beaumont(Corey Landis), attractive Fish & Game officer Cassidy Swanson(Amy Holt) and for extra measure, the crafty swamp hunter known as "The Cajun"(Rib Hillis). The two menacing, scaly lizards snack and nosh at will until the only way to defeat them is to invite them to a battle royal. That's when the earth will actually shake and rattle at the ultimate smackdown.Of course this is time out for some fantasy mixed with comic relief. At times the special effects are really decent. Rounding out the cast: Eddie Spivak, Delia Sheppard, James C. Burns, Lisa Clapperton, Michael Bernardi and Aurelia Scheppers.
Where to start? The CGI was probably done on an old Mac as none of the scenes with the monsters or special (?) effects looked real. Lots of jerky camera motion to simulate the earth moving. The actual battle between the 2 reptiles lasted for only a few thankful seconds. Unless you like really bad movies, skip it. The scenery was nice though and the girls were pretty. Here's the plot if you are interested. Bad company run by evil David Carradine creates overgrown reptiles that like to eat people. Of course they first have to munch down on the scientists that created them. Second course involves eating a bunch of bad mercenary soldiers. Evil David sends for croc killer from bayou. Then he has his beautiful killer henchwoman try to clean up the mess. Meanwhile the reptiles munch down on some tourists (and the tourists don't even get to see where Elvis stayed). Then, the reptiles get herded together and they dance around a bit before one of them bits the other and kills it. They blow up a factory with some C4 and grain dust in order to kill the remaining one. The End (thank God).
This was one of SyFy's better movies, & in many ways contained material that was refreshingly different. For one thing, the brainy engineer is not just a nerd saying smart sciency things but otherwise incapable of doing anything or providing only comic relief; he actually shows a lot of courage & resourcefulness. The macho guy (The Cajun) is not all brawn but actually is likable & intelligent. I also liked the fact the bads guys were taken down by the FBI & not some superpowerful dude taking down like 100 guys all by himself. These were realistic touches. And of course there were those bikini-clad babes who are in a movie like this just to get eaten...but then I like beach girls in bikini & flip-flops, so that was fine! Of course a movie like this has its stupid moments & scenes one has seen a 100 times in similar movies, but you expect that in a movie titled "Dinocroc vs Supergator." And finally I didn't think the creatures were that bad, the dinocroc was pretty impressive. Ihave to say though, the beginning scene were every scientist is dressed in lab coats & ties was rather silly, & few scientists wear ties when working in a lab.
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.
