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.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
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.
Being an animal enthusiast, the factual information provided is completely false. Reptiles, being cold-blooded would not give off clear heat signatures on a FLIR thermal imager. Also, reptiles tire easily. There is no way that Supergator could gallop at 50+ MPH for the distance that it did. Is Dinocroc a dinosaur or a crocodile? I'm confused. The people who made this film were extremely lazy. Everything was rushed in filming. There was a CGI cow carcass. Seriously? You can't make a freaking puppet? Also, the Cajun isn't even Cajun. The gator he is hunting is CGI for a two second rise out of the water. There is plenty of cheap stock footage you can get for that. Wrapping up, it has sub-par acting, lack of logic in survival situations (just stopping and throwing the arms up as he's outrunning the creature), and illogical happenings (C4 is useless but similar explosion scorches the creatures).
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).
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.
