A company that is given license to make large vegetables and mushrooms uses their abilities to make large killing machines -- an alligator and a crocodile. As you might expect if you saw "Jurassic Park", they are hard to contain.
The film has some clear references to "Jurassic Park", whether intentional or not. The scene with the jeep being chased was just such an homage (or ripoff). I was waiting for someone to say "faster, must go faster" or a shot of the rearview mirror.
The director Jay Andrews used to be Jim Wynorski (well, he still is) and made some great cheesy horror films. You might know "Chopping Mall", one of the greats from the 1980s. Working for SyFy is quite the step down, but I suspect his friendship with Roger Corman is what got him on board.
The DVD or Blu-Ray has audio commentary by Roger Corman and Jay Andrews -- it is good to get Corman on the record as much as possible these days, as he is beyond his golden years. Is this the greatest commentary track you will ever hear? Most likely not. But Corman already has a legacy, and the more he says, the better. Someday we will no longer have this American treasure.
Although he is quite dead, we have David Carradine in a much better posthumous role than "Fall Down Dead". Again, not like a peak in his career like "Kill Bill" or "Death Race", but at least he is treated with some dignity here and not made out to be a forgetful, weak old man.
Are alligators and crocodiles mortal enemies? I have my doubts... The SyFy network may have bad special effects and I can let that slide because we have all come to expect that. But you have to have "science" to have science fiction, so if you cannot get basic facts right about your subjects, you stink.
