Mega Python vs. Gatoroid (2011)

Sadly Over-hyped

Just perfect...

Good concept, poorly executed.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is one of several movies where they take has-beens from yesteryear and have them do silly things. This movie features Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, teeny-bop pop starts from the 80s, but they're not really has-beens. Both of them still have careers that most actresses and singers can only dream about. It also features some guy from the 80s band The Monkeys.Nevertheless, Debbie plays a tree hugging environmentalist who releases some snakes into the Everglades. Tiffany plays a voluptuous park ranger who feeds steroid induced chickens to alligators thinking that the alligators would eat the snakes. What could go wrong?As a former fan of the singers, I was more than pleased. Cute Debbie has grown up to be a mature, beautiful woman, slender, yet muscular. She spends the second half of the movie running around in an evening gown about the size of a hand towel. Tiffany has curves that are imprinted in my brain. The two play rivals in the movie, occasionally using the B-word to refer to each other. At one point, the two ladies get into a cat fight.The movie knows it's a joke, and it doesn't pretend to be otherwise. The ladies don't take themselves seriously either. Both know it's a stupid low budget B-movie, if that. If you were in love with Debbie Gibson and/or Tiffany back in the 80s, then you'll like this movie. If not, then I highly advise that you skip it.

First who the hell releases non-native species into local waters? Only those with no conscience or from somewhere else. If Debby Gibson's character, a doctor no less, actually cared as much as she states, then she wouldn't be releasing the ones she steals from people into local Florida waters. I will say though that in my opinion Debby beats Tiffany hands down in the who still looks best department. Now Tiffany's character actually is a more responsible person as she recognizes the invasive species threat and Gibson is just a tree hugging, let everything work out idiot. Now don't get me wrong I do belong to PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals)!!!! I am on the governments side in this movie.

Best 90 minutes of my life! Utter shock throughout.Some great car chases and tactical use of green screens and cap guns.Don't watch on your own you might be disappointed.It is best appreciated with some mates and a few beers.Chris' alien was somewhat deflated by watching the movie.Great for ironing.Laugh out loud funny.Not a comedy but still makes you cry with laughter.More in the 'unique' line of Mega films.Where can I subscribe to knowing when the sequel comes out?

As I have said many times, I have made no secret of disliking most of SyFy's output. I kind of knew that Mega Python vs. Gataroid was going to be bad, and it was. However, because the concept was intriguing, it started off alright and because Deborah Gibson and Tiffany were decent, it is not as unwatchable as something like Quantum Apocalypse, Alien vs vs. Hunter or Titanic II.The special effects are crude-looking and in my opinion not used very well, as the film is often very silly and lacking in tension and atmosphere, while the camera work and editing are slapdash. As I said, Mega Python vs Gataroid has a good concept, it starts off well and has a quite enjoyable scene involving a meeting to save the everglades, but the sillier it gets the more meandering the storytelling becomes. The film is rushed, too short, has some really absurd dialogue and the acting excepting the two leads is painful especially from Micky Dolenz.Overall, although it is a bad movie, I can't bring myself to entirely hate it. 3/10 Bethany Cox
