A rapidly evolving crocodile escapes from a genetics lab to hunt for locals in the surrounding wetlands. This prompts a trio of cardboard characters, including big game hunter Costas Mandylor, to try and stop the beast by any means.
Despite being forerunner to the MegaWoodchuck vs. SuperAardvark formula that led The Asylum to untold riches, this Roger Corman production is fatally wounded by the digital haze doubling as its titular creature. Piss-poor effects likely rendered over a weekend are too much of a hurdle. A lumbering Dinocroc of plaster, sticks, and visible puppeteers would've at least had a scrappy quality.
Can't be too hard on Dinocroc though. In-between computer garbage superimposed across awkward shots, it's uneventful schlock feeling more at…
diane must be either fucking blind or REALLY love shitty pathetic loser guys cuz sorry but if costas mandylor showed up in my town looking like THAT and started flirting with me i’d forget about fucking tom or whatever his name was in less than 0.000001 second fucking loser boyfriend literally was tranq’d for like 5 hours cuz he’s useless and diane the DUMBASS was alone in her house with costas Dick Sydney mandylor and ur telling me she chose NOT to get her back blown out by a man who could actually do it?????? couldn’t be fucking me. anyway the movie was fun
So you are telling me bro took a tranquilizer made for a super dinossaur like crocodile and only slept a few hours?! I can't even take my allergy medicine without getting super sleepy...
this thing is stupid but kinda fun! literally no better or worse than any other Syfy original movie. Right on par with Python.
buuuut I really did enjoy hot Costas with his australian accent (turns out he's a better [more fun? looser and more playful?] actor when he’s not working so hard to sound american) doing Big Australian shit (not wearing sleeves, carrying a big gun and a big knife, crocodile dundee hat, saying stuff like “auy naur mate, what’ve we gaught heyah?”)
being kinda horny for actors who are mostly in terrible movies is a burden… yet this is the burden i must bear 😔🙏🏻
Costas Mandylor wears two hats on his head at the same time in one scene. Despite this effort, there's still just not enough Costas in this movie.
Nah whoever did the music for this movie was doing TOO MUCH 😭😭
Again...proof I have no right being on this app cuz this is rated way to high. I had fun!
That constant choir theme for the dinocroc is gonna haunt my mind isn’t it
Btw I’m genuinely surprised that this was actually ok in comparison to the slop we watched before this with some fun shit in store
everyone in this film genuinely has the IQ level of ten.
i do unironically have a soft spot for these old syfy channel movies, they are god awful, but i watched a shitload of them throughout my childhood lol.
people care so little about Dinocroc that the header image for its letterboxd page is straight up from a completely different movie. somebody out there is not doing their job. it's a fucked up world we live in. anyway Dinocroc decapitates a kid in this and Hoffman from the Saw franchise plays horny Crocodile Dundee so who's to say if this is bad or not. spoilers they kill Dinocroc by running him over with a train lol
