A Pile Of Dinocroc Shit



There are three types of movies, off the top of my head, which are worth avoiding:-
1/ Uwe Boll movies.
2/ Movies from the low budget exploitation production outfit Asylum.
3/ Direct to DVD / TV movies shot for either Zone Horror or the SyFy channel.

Dinocroc Vs Supergator is a Roger Corman produced dino-turd that falls into category three. Here's a list of things you should know:-

1/ The CGI is abysmal. Both giant creatures appear to be weightless and don't blend into their environment realistically. A camera shudder is slyly used by the film-makers to try to give the creatures some realism...but it falls flat.

2/ The cast is comprised of three tiers of actors:-
i) Cardboard lunks that were too shit to get jobs on American daytime soaps.
ii) Seemingly ex female-porn actresses who are trying their hand at 'acting'.
iii) David Carradine, in one of his final on-screen roles. Pisser.

3/ When the cast are supposed to run away from an attacking creature...they jog slowly. Who knows why, perhaps the cameramen couldn't keep up beyond a mild canter, but they never muster any speed. And when they do run away, they only flee about 10 metres than exclaim, "Do you think we lost it!?!"

4/ The heroes use heat seeking technology to locate the beasts. But they're lizards (which are cold blooded) so how do they...

5/ The final confrontation takes place outside an abandoned sugar factory. To avoid the explosion which will destroy both creatures, our hero leaps into a convenient, water filled bath tub that just happens to be lying around in the open...outside an abandoned sugar factory, did I mention that...

Film making of the lowest order. But it's never dull, the girls are pretty and the ultra-corny score by Chuck Cirino and company is more memorable than 90% of most contemporary movie scores. No wonder Carradine couldn't take it anymore...
