I'm sorry guys, but if you didn't like this movie (Why is it not called Dinocroc II? Because they used gator DNA!) you shouldn't be watching the Sci Fi Channel. We've got a reasonable scenario, a scary beastie (near-decent CGI), and babes galore (most of whom, excepting Misses Lawson (Carla) and Stiefvater (Alex), you've likely never seen before and may not again) with so much gore I can't see how it avoided an "R".
The Supergator has gotta be the hungriest critter ever to have graced the silver screen, on in this case the boob tube. First it eats a pair of lovers who threaten to do "it" in front of the waterfall, but don't, take a swim instead, and become gator nosh anyway. Then with a swooping leap it eats a fey photog, and follows him up with a toothsome (pun) model. Next (or maybe not) he eats a couple of hiker chicks who though warned (Hey, this is Hawaii, there are no wild animals), mosey on toward the waterfall and .... Then there are the two skinny, drunken entrepreneur wannabes, chomp, while their fat friend runs away. The fat friend encounters the other model who fled the photo-shoot (and whom you thought escaped -- Ha!). They hide in a mango (or is a banyan) root maze until... yep, super-gator tea time. I don't know if this was actually shot in Hawaii, but it absolutely was not shot in Bulgaria.
Our heroes, the vulcanologist, Dr. Scott Kinney (Brad Johnson) and his crew climb the side of the long dormant, now gurgling, volcano and meet up with the paleo-geneticist (Kim Taft, who invented Supergator) and her white hunter, on the prowl to recover (like, terminally) the incredible creature (maybe we could call him Edipus Rex?). Scott's obnoxious student assistant goes off over the hill to reset a camera, and darned if he doesn't lose one fall out of one to the monster.
Both teams flee back to the waterfall lagoon where their boats are, and as Scott's two female associates, Carla and Alex, start to head back downriver to warn the town of the impending eruption, they **fall out of the boat**! Scott saves Carla and Alex is helped by Kim (played by Kelly McGillis) -- Kelly McGillis whom we all love from "Cat Chaser." If you don't know why we love her from "Cat Chaser," go rent the movie. Oh, she gets et.
Dr. Scott and the white hunter take off by boat to whack the creature, and the two girls (Carla and Alex) take off on foot to warn the town. They catch a ride with some jerk who stalls his jeep just as the super-gator intersects their course. Cameo appearance for our driver. The women flee on foot, only Alex doesn't flee quite quickly enough, and "another one bites the dust. Another one bites the dust."
The crews, or what's left of them, make it back to town where the festival luau is about to go down (you might think of this as homage to "Jaws" except it's used in every one of these things). The volcano has quieted, but we still gotta warn the crowd that there's a prehistoric monster running amok. Since no one pays attention the super-gator eats the park manager and several patrons, actually I lost count, on his way to destruction. I won't tell you how, but you can figure it out about 15 minutes before hand. It's a gas.
In the epilogue Scott and Carla go off laughing about their experiences, which I found in quite poor taste. I mean, I was laughing, but the characters shouldn't be. Then there are the obligatory pictures of the Kileuea lava flow, which I don't get.
