Dinocroc vs. Supergator (2010)

Well you've got to give the movie credit when it starts off with a scientist screaming an alarm and people in white lab coats streaming out of the building in a panic before being chomped or crushed by giant creatures.

Evil business tycoon Drake has been working on a bio-catalyst to increase plant growth. Now that sounds like it would be very useful. But as evil guys tend to do, Drake decides to expand the genetic potential of the growth matrix by working with living creatures. Oh yes, I'm sure this will work out fine.  I've always thought the crocodile, alligator, and dinosaur were far too small. Why not have something bigger that can kill us much easier? Thank you, Mr. Drake!

When the croca-gator-plata-mutant-saurs escape, Drake decides to call in The Cajun, whose slogan is "you've tried the rest, now try the best."  The Cajun quickly arrives and finds out that things are not what they seem. Since his nickname and job seem to implies he's dishonest, it's a surprise to find out he's a stand up guy who does what is right.  I think Drake's going to be surprised, too.

Let's face it, if you decide to watch this you know exactly what you're getting. You just hope it's not boring.  I guess the best thing to say about it is at least it's not Scorpius Gigantus. Watch for the worst nurse in the world who attend to Drake as he's clutching his heart. Instead of providing any sort of assistance, she just says "Oh no! Keep breathing."  Drake may want to be more careful of who he hires... if he lives.

Silly dialogue:

"We are here to grow food, not create genetic Frankensteins."

"Alligators and crocodiles are mortal enemies.  I say we bring them together. We make them fight." -The Cajun
