Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRoger Corman approached the SyFy channel with an idea for a sequel, which they turned down for fear of it being a total bomb, so Corman scrapped it until 2007 when it was reintroduced as a new film called Supergator, which he produced. as well as the 2010 sequel to both films, Dinocroc vs. Supergator.
- GoofsIn the film's opening title sequence, the newspaper snippets say "archaeologist" when in actuality it is paleontologists, not archaeologists, who deal with fossil crocodiles.
- Quotes
Dr. Campbell: What about the one that escaped?
Paula Kennedy: You said yourself these specimen have a limited lifespan
Dr. Campbell: Oh, we don't know that for sure. There's been progress with each successive test. There's no reason not to expect this one to reach full maturity.
Paula Kennedy: I've got some calls to make.

Featured review
Not the best of Corman's work
Roger Corman makes entertaining movies, and he's made several giant monster movies for the sci-fi channel. Out of them all, this follows his classic style the most, including not so good special effects.
The classic style that didn't work includes the monster not showing itself, lots of people shots that are just fillers, and slow story development.
The special effects croc is a joke. It has no believability to its character.
This is a cheesy movie what people expect from a borderline B movie. Since this was first in line of many of this type of movies to come, it may have had budget problems. In any case, the movie itself was successful, and spawned many different super beast movies. The later productions has much better quality.
I couldn't warm up to this movie, and this is not one of the best of super monster series that came from Roger Corman's production.
