Dinocroc vs. Supergator is set on a tropical island where two genetically altered giant creatures have broken out of their cages, a giant Crocodile & a giant Alligator devour any scientist in their path as they break free of the compound & into the lush tropical jungle. On the other side of the island is a holiday resort, Sheriff Charlie Swanson (John Callahan) is the local law & becomes concerned after getting reports of people going missing & personal items covered in blood being found. Meanwhile scientist Mark Conrad (James C. Burns) is on the island investigating the research laboratory since it was only meant to be conducting growth experiments on plants, he soon discovers what they were really up to. With the giant Alligator & Crocodile eating anyone they find it's up to Conrad, Sheriff Swanson & his daughter Cassidy (Amy Rasimas) along with big game hunter the Cajun to stop them & expose the truth...
Co-written & directed by the ever awful Jim Wynorski under one of his usual pseudonym's Jay Andrews this is yet more monster film crap from the Sci-Fi Channel, it seems that since the cult success of Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009) which also premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel one Roger Corman decided to bring his two creature feature monsters together from Dinocroc (2004) & Supergator (2007) to make Dinocroc vs. Supergator! Expectedly Dinocroc vs. Supergator is terrible, the plot makes no sense as it's just baffling to me & I am sure to anyone else who watches this why would scientists choose animals like an Alligator & Crocodile to conduct genetic growth experiments on? Maybe they should have started off with an animal less likely to eat them like a Mouse or a Sardine. Yes, I listened to the nonsense about them both being amphibious but again what's wrong with a Newt? Also if the scientists wanted certain DNA characteristic's why did the Alligator & Crocodile have to be so big? The plot is laughably bad, since when were Alligator's & Crocodile's 'mortal enemies' anyway? Why, when a huge man eating Crocodile is running around, would you run out of you nice safe laboratory into the courtyard where it was? Why, if there is a huge Alligator standing in front of you & your bullets are doing no good would anyone just stand there & wait to be eaten instead of, like you know, running? Would a man really be allowed to walk through a holiday resort with two guns strapped to his waist? Did no-one tell the filmmakers that Reptiles are cold-blooded? Heat seeking thermal imagery wouldn't have worked, would it? Bullets & C4 explosives won't even touch a giant Crocodile or Alligator yet an explosion mixed with sugar cane dust blows them to pieces. The script for Dinocroc vs. Supergator is just crying to be ripped apart, it's full of holes & illogical crap that makes no sense, why didn't they just call the Army in & have them nuke the damned monsters? These giant roaring stomping monsters seem able to just creep up on people without them noticing & people ask questions like 'did we lose it' or 'where is it' & I sat there thinking 'well it's bloody big enough to see isn't it? It's hardly inconspicuous or a set of car keys is it?' & the whole film, script & production is just dumb like when a guy is standing in about a foot of water & one of the monsters comes up from below & eats him. At just over 80 odd minutes at least it's short & it wastes no time getting into the monster action but I still found it quite dull, predictable & boring.
Everything here is CGI, to be fair some of the CGI computer effects work is better than I anticipated (although that's faint praise indeed) & in particular the monster that walks on all fours (sorry, I don't know which one was meant to be Supergator or Dinocroc) is actually quite good but why make the other walk on it's hind legs? I though both Alligator's & Crocodile's walked on all fours? That one just ends up looking like a T-Rex. The actual versus fight between the two at the end is not worth the wait & is underwhelming to say the least. There's a bit of gore here, a woman is bitten in half, there's some blood splatter & a Cow is seen ripped in half while lots of people get eaten. Even though this was meant to be set in the dense jungle you can see the paths & the way the trees are cleared & I doubt the makers went more than a hundred yards from their hotel to film this, it's all so static & bland with no sense of urgency or tension or excitement.
Filmed in Hawaii & California the film looks bright & nice enough but there's no style & it's looks just like the bland direct to TV film it is. The acting is bad, thank the Lord that the late David Carradine actually made a couple of films after this as it would have been very, very sad if Dinocroc vs. Supergator was his last credit.
Dinocroc vs. Supergator is another terrible Sci-Fi Channel creature feature with slightly better effects than I expected & more people get eaten than I expected so I'll give it three stars out of ten instead of one. The very last line spoken in Dinocroc vs. Supergator at the very end is the Cajun hunter saying 'I'm glad that's over' & at that point you will know exactly how he feels.
