First there was Dinocroc<\/em> (US-2004; dir. Kevin O’Neill), then there was Supergator<\/em> (US-2007; dir. Brian Clyde) — both produced by the inimitable Roger Corman (see Undead Brainspasm article<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Now there’s Dinocroc vs Supergator<\/strong><\/em>, and courtesy of Jim Wynorski we bring you the latest images of the rampaging beasts — bigger and more fiercesome than ever! (Click on the images to be overwhelmed!)<\/p>\n

In June this year (according to IMDb<\/a>), the film — then in post-production — was called Volcanic<\/strong><\/em>, and was being directed by Rob Robertson. It was to star David Carradine. I can’t help wondering how much of the great exploitation-film actor’s part had been completed when he died on 3 June 2009 in a Bangkok hotel. Hopefully, as the film is still listed on Carradine’s IMDb entry<\/a> as being in post-production, we’ll be able to see him in it. That will certainly give it added interest for me.<\/p>\n

At any rate the title Volcanic<\/em> has not stuck and Dinocroc vs Supergator<\/em> is due to be released in January 2010.<\/p>\n

Addendum<\/strong>: News just in! David Carradine did complete his part, so we can look forward to seeing the star of some great genre flicks — such as Q – The Winged Serpent<\/em> (US-1982; dir. Larry Cohen), Death Race 2000<\/em> (US-1975; dir. Paul Bartel) and Tarantino’s Kill Bill<\/em> — as well as the iconic Kung Fu<\/em> TV series — dealing with a pair of giant reptiles.<\/span> Thanks, Avery.<\/p>\n
