Now, somewhere between the non serious title and the fact that this movie went straight to cable on the SyFy Channel, one certainly should get the idea that we are not dealing with "Gone with the Wind" here, but with a silly monster movie. But there is still a place for that. Sometimes some of us have had it with too many serious things in life and we just want to watch something light and silly, and movies like these fill that urge. The fact that several of us voted to watch it proves the point.

The good points? The rivalry between the two main actresses at times was interesting. The rest of the movie sort of went along with expectations. And by that I mean, the acting and drama did not even get to good, the special effects did not rival Jurassic Park, and no university professor (who is not high) is going to buy the explanation for the larger monsters and how they got that way. The bottom line is, if you are in the mood for something that you know is not serious nor pretends to be serious, this might fill some time for you.

Regrets from me after watching it? Some movies that know they are not the big time sometimes reach cult classic fame with the right amount of silliness and interest such as "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". I think this movie tried for that category also, but I do not feel it achieved that either. But I give it credit for being honest as to what it really was - a non serious monster movie.

This is one of several movies where they take has-beens from yesteryear and have them do silly things. This movie features Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, teeny-bop pop starts from the 80s, but they're not really has-beens. Both of them still have careers that most actresses and singers can only dream about. It also features some guy from the 80s band The Monkeys.

Nevertheless, Debbie plays a tree hugging environmentalist who releases some snakes into the Everglades. Tiffany plays a voluptuous park ranger who feeds steroid induced chickens to alligators thinking that the alligators would eat the snakes. What could go wrong?

As a former fan of the singers, I was more than pleased. Cute Debbie has grown up to be a mature, beautiful woman, slender, yet muscular. She spends the second half of the movie running around in an evening gown about the size of a hand towel. Tiffany has curves that are imprinted in my brain. The two play rivals in the movie, occasionally using the B-word to refer to each other. At one point, the two ladies get into a cat fight.

The movie knows it's a joke, and it doesn't pretend to be otherwise. The ladies don't take themselves seriously either. Both know it's a stupid low budget B-movie, if that. If you were in love with Debbie Gibson and/or Tiffany back in the 80s, then you'll like this movie. If not, then I highly advise that you skip it.

OK. Debbie Gibson. Tiffany. Mutant creatures. Cheese acting. Cat fight between Debbie and Tiffany. Total crap as far as "good" movie standards go. However, if you're into crap sci-fi movies, and you are old enough to remember these girls from the eighties and being superstars, its a great watch. Perfect for killing some time or putting on to doze off to if you have a TV by where you sleep and need something to watch and listen to while you drift off. I seriously don't know why some of these movie snobs bother to watch these movies just to criticize. I know what good movies are, and I like good movies. This isn't a good movie. Its a movie for people who like bad movies, or just bad movie trash to doze off to at 2AM. Its great as far as that goes and I hope they never stop pumping out cheap readily available movies like this for those of us that just need something kinda funny/amusing to kill some time with. Also, Jack Frost (the horror movie with a killer snowman) is great in that regard. There's a second one as well. Also, Santa's Slay...awesomeness!

Don't you just love when the infamous Asylum production discriminates your brain? It's just intolerable! I know, now you're thinking "then why did you watch that film?", because I want to issue a warning to all people who loves to watch movies, to avoid this at every cost. So, this movie was directed by Mary Lambert who directed "Pet Cemetery" and it's sequel. But, Mary is definitely one of those directors whose career was washed up and so, she joined the Asylum. Now… I don't know… I bet that producers of Asylum are the fans of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany… And they took this failed director and these two failed singers… oh yes, how did they call them? The 80s pop sensations? What sensations? The two of them had only one hit song that sucked big time. And they obviously wanted to show some kind of rivalry between the two "pop sensations", and they did it with the duel on a party, which was one of the funniest things I have ever seen… especially in the film that, like… tends to be somewhat "serious"… That duel was predicted by Bill Hicks, if you ask me… Now, what to say? Directing was horrible, acting was dreadful (all actors in this film… wow… they never ever heard about acting. Tiffany and Debbie were characters that presented a last straw in this crap, two failed "pop sensations" in failed movie career. Are they that dumb, not to notice that the joke was on their expense?), editing, music score, camera work, well… that's asylum… and CGI which is the highlight of badness… no need to talk about this… in this moment, my fingers are shivering and my brain hurts! Avoid this and do something better with your life, fill your bathtub and practice holding your breath for a… two hours. It's far more exciting than watching this turd.

When SyFy debuts their latest camp extravaganza in its esteemed 9PM Saturday evening showcase spot, featuring its lead actors bashing it MST3K style at every commercial break on its first showing, it's a pretty fair bet you're in for B-movie nonsense. This one delivers.

It never for one second takes itself seriously, and just about everybody is directed to play their parts as cartoonish caricatures. The parts played by Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, an ecologist and a game warden respectively, are over-the-top fanatics who mess with nature's food chain. When they're not cat fighting each other, that is. Then they're genetically altering gators and pythons into mutant CGI giants that get a kick out of croaking each other, or rip apart humans on sight.

The film's shining moment is a party where conservationists are dedicating a program to "save the Everglades." When the big mutants inevitably show up to crash the party, they learn to their dismay that lots of conservationists carry concealed weapons. Everybody (including people in wheel chairs and banquet bus-boys) starts blasting away with guns 'a-blazin' on the surprised creatures.

This self-mocking film has many of the elements that make the classic drive-in "big mutant monster" movies so fun. Worth a watch for a good laugh.

Is this what Sci Fi... oops... I mean ScyFy has come down to? I remember watching many bad movies aired as original movies on ScyFy back in the day, along with many other series that were back then what made the original SciFi channel what it is.

Mega Python vs. Gatoroid is one of those horrible films you see come along every now and again on ScyFy that make you question the motive of film makers these days. There are good films, and then there are ScyFy films.

As a film & video VFX editor and 3D animator I was ashamed to see such a low level of attention given to the effects and production of this movie. For one the editing of gore has no dimension. They simply fall as bits and pieces of flesh into a masked layer of pathetic editing.

The rendering and blending of objects in the movie were not even close to decent. This film looks like one of those 5 minute videos you will find on YouTube if young kids and adults who have quite literally JUST started working in video editing and production. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the production company that worked on the film were a bunch of college kids who downloaded After Effects, Maya, 3DS Max and called themselves a production company and did work for cheap.

It's so bad that calling it cheesy doesn't even do it justice. There are errors all over the place that in film production you go nuts over if you spot them.

For one the object blending is off. They look like actual 3d models rendered in a scene view or on a low production setting. The object blending is actually decent, but the fact that they can't render anything that looks realistic or even just a tiny bit realistic makes me sad.

The 3D helicopter used in the movie is not only badly animated, but as we all know when a helicopter gets close to ground level objects such as water and trees movie violently simply because of the force being directed downward for the helicopter to obtain lift... It isn't in this movie. Objects are as still as a picture.

I'm ashamed that they are airing this. They need to bring back the X- Files. This just doesn't cut it. ScyFy needs to be shut down if they are going to continue airing what is basically a steaming pile of transformer, x-file wanna be s''t's.

As I have said many times, I have made no secret of disliking most of SyFy's output. I kind of knew that Mega Python vs. Gataroid was going to be bad, and it was. However, because the concept was intriguing, it started off alright and because Deborah Gibson and Tiffany were decent, it is not as unwatchable as something like Quantum Apocalypse, Alien vs vs. Hunter or Titanic II.

The special effects are crude-looking and in my opinion not used very well, as the film is often very silly and lacking in tension and atmosphere, while the camera work and editing are slapdash. As I said, Mega Python vs Gataroid has a good concept, it starts off well and has a quite enjoyable scene involving a meeting to save the everglades, but the sillier it gets the more meandering the storytelling becomes. The film is rushed, too short, has some really absurd dialogue and the acting excepting the two leads is painful especially from Micky Dolenz.

Overall, although it is a bad movie, I can't bring myself to entirely hate it. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Gifted director Mary Lambert (Stephen King's Pet Semetary) brought screenwriter Naomi Selfman's delightful script to the screen with fantastic vision and panache. Pairing Tiffany and Debbie Gibson as cat fighting heroes was an absolutely brilliant concept and when these two embark on a mission against rampaging giant pythons and gators, high-jinx ensue. The laugh-out-loud fun never lets up from start to finish in this hilarious caper and it's apparent that everyone involved is having a great time in this farce. The special effects are appropriately awful and the supporting cast simply seems to be enjoying the joke themselves. The always enjoyable A. Martinez is a true comic surprise. While not meant to be taken seriously, this has some pretty intense horror elements but that never overshadows the spirit of outrageous hilarity. A fabulous departure from the usual SyFy/Asylum serious science fiction dramas.

First off, i have got to admit that i have a slight obsession with these type of SyFy movies, there's just something about the outrageous plots, low profile actors and shoddy CGI that gets me every time.

The Plot: Trouble in the everglades becomes apparent after Dr. Nikki Riley releases pythons into the area which result in the dwindling number of alligators, and rising numbers in animal corpses. Tiffany who plays park ranger Terry swiftly takes it into her own hands to resolve the problem armed with chickens and steroids; for which disastrous consequences are lurking round the swamp door.

My Thoughts If you gave it a grade purely from it's technical side, well... let's just say it wouldn't be getting on the honor's roll anytime soon! The lead actresses, Tiffany Darwisch and Deborah Gibson's acting skill set, to put it more nicely, would not benefit any other channel but SyFy. If they were to leave the safety net of the souped up minds of the SyFy team, they just wouldn't be able to survive in the world of acting.

The pacing itself seems to be a bit slow in the beginning but soon grabs your attention with a vast array of humorous moments intertwined with suspense and thrill, you really are entertained from the start to the finish.. almost.

The Screen Stealers There were a minority in the film who definitely stole the show for me in regards to their acting ability in contrast to other various cast members, for instance; A Martinez did a fantastic job of playing Dr. Diego Ortiz, but unfortunately i believe he slightly let himself down in the aeroplane scene (or if you're American, airplane), his face just didn't really seem to convey as much pain as what he says he is in.. suspicious stuff.. eh?

The second of my shining stars has to be Kathryn Joosten, even though she doesn't have as much screen time as the majority, she is still absolutely brilliant at what she does, and what she does is she makes us laugh. It is entirely apparent why she has won two primetime Emmy awards. Bravo Kathryn.. bravo.

And the Conclusion is.. (Drum Rolls Please) Overall it's a bad film, yet still my heart tells me that it's completely amazing, in it's own special way. Even though it is quite terrible, you cannot disregard the pure entertainment value of this cracking movie and I would completely recommend watching this to any of my many friends cats.

What a "normal" person would think: 3/10 What an epic person with the whole SHABANG just like me would think: 7/10

OK, here's the deal. Don't expect The Green Mile or Shawshank Redemption here. This is a B Grade Comedy that is very creative and fun. If you have watched the Mega Shark series and want more then this is by far the best of the lot. Its fun, silly and the dialogue is positively hilarious.

I suggest: Watching this with kids Watching it while high / stoned watching it if you are very forgiving of low budget fun movies.

I watched this with a 6 year old it it really is a great way to have fun with the family. Kids love the animals and Adults love the absurdity. People that rate this movie badly are equating it to big budget movies. That's hardly fair bu whatever, If you fall into any of the above categories then give it a try and be forgiving when rating this.

I would have walked out of this movie on an airplane. Indeed, where should I start? Aside from the cat fight between Tiffany and Debbie Gibson there are so many technical flaws, misguided character arcs, and examples of bad acting I actually found myself wishing that Jaws The Revenge was on. Remember that gem? I like monster movies and creature features just as much as the next SciFi fan but unfortunately this movie, in fact everything that The Asylum as ever released, demonstrates that elements in the scifi world is languishing in a creativity vacuum. I am of the opinion that nothing new or original is being created in Hollywood anymore and it seems that independent film and scifi film makers are falling for overused formulas and horrible graphics. Did you see how bad the creatures looked? I would have rather had a guy in a suit or those odd camera shots we saw in movies like The Night of the Lepus and The Legend of Boggy Creek. Some may argue that the director may have been trying to lampoon a huge number of the common creature feature plot devices but I think that is giving the director way too much credit. While watching this movie I started to feel bad that I was wasting so much time when I could have spent it doing something more interesting like sewing up holes in my socks or watching the snow melt. SciFi can do much better than this. I hope that more worthwhile works are coming our way soon.

There's a crisis in the Florida Everglades as giant pythons are threatening the alligator population.

Every time a SyFy film appears in my mailbox, I get scared. With very rare exceptions, they are among the worst movies I have the privilege of watching. That being said, this one was not one of those. Not saying it was good, mind you -- it is not. But on entertainment merit, it ranks highly. I had more than a few laughs.

As usual, the graphics are bloody awful. In fact, maybe even worse than usual. SyFy and the Asylum have completely given up. Debbie Gibson cannot act, and neither can Tiffany. A few jokes came at their expense, and that was good. But if they were not on SyFy, they could not survive in the world of film. A Martinez, on the other hand, was excellent.

One might wonder how Mary Lambert ("Pet Sematery") was given the director's chair for this. Is this not beneath her? But it is hard to tell if she did a good job directing or not. When you have two terrible actresses and mountains of bad animation, can a good director fix that mess? I think not. So, in essence, this puts a blot on an otherwise respectable career.

"There's a crisis in the Florida Everglades as giant pythons are threatening the alligator population." is written in the synopsis. Well it wasn't the only crisis in the movie. Oh my god.

Alright, well where to begin? Actually, you knew from the very beginning that this was going to be one of 'those' movies. And it was. Anything with the word "mega" in it and something that comes from SyFy is 90% likely to be epic in a bad way.

The storyline in "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid", although very straight forward and easy to follow, was just so far out there, that you don't buy into it for one second. And the story was plagued with some many mistakes and continuity errors, that it was actually making me laugh.

Being a typical SyFy movie, "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" is suffering from horrible CGI effects. But in a weird, perverted way, you just want to stick with the movie to see what happens next and to see the next eyesore effect.

The dialogue throughout the movie was halting, forced and often absurd to listen to. I am pretty sure that during a crisis situation like that in the movie, no one would actually talk like that or say those things.

I am sure many noticed the extreme amount of screen-time that Tiffany's cleavage was having. What was up with that?

As for the cast and acting, well it was as to be expected of a SyFy movie. Some actually put on decent enough performances, but there were a lot of really painful performances as well. I was wondering why Micky Dolenz agreed to a movie like this.

Something made me go "what?" It was when the snakes and gators suddenly started working together in unison at the fund raising party attack scene. Why? Someone please tell me why? And how did the snakes reach monstrous sizes after being released into the wild? The entire movie is flawed with mistakes of this caliber. However, in a weird way it does make the movie come off in a comedic sense.

If you like monster movies, then there is a handful of much better options available out there. And as for SyFy movies go, this was even below what they usually pump out on the market. "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" is good for some laughs at the story and the effects, but that is about the entertainment value of it. However, if you are like me in the habit of watching SyFy movies because you know they will be horrible, then you will definitely like "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" because it delivers one stupid thing after another.

They did not pretend they were not a B movie, and as a B movie - I loved it! there was nothing but low budget here. BUT! again I say BUT! I ROFL at a lot of its idiocy. I see they had fun with it and I enjoyed having recognizable talent involved in a just for fun movie. We thought, why is a monkey so important to the fund raising event, LMAO when we saw "The Monkey". kudos to you, I had fun with it. you really have to look at this movie as not something trying to get a Oscar or academy award. I'm telling you the monkey thing got me the best. I see a street person with a little monkey when you say that. I got it first and had to say " No, Look - THE MONKEY!" thank you for this little bit of just silly. Deb and Tiff OMG! two singers being silly together. come on, this was fun.

I think 'never a dull moment', would have been the formula for the making of this movie. That, and 'everything done as fast as possible'. Maybe as cheap as possible too. Credit where credit is due though, because there is tonnes of cgi throughout. At least four or five scenes would be worthy of a poster. It's not quality cgi, but it's a fair way above student quality. It's one of those movies where a script is borrowed from other movies, and it is only to tie together the wacko cgi action anyway. It's an art form I guess, and would be entertaining to kids as soon as they can pass the suitable age rating, but not much further once they experience true blockbusters. Mega Python is nothing to compare with, say, Rampage (2018), but does fall into that quirky genre of B-movies where, since the advent of cgi, there has been a renaissance, which is a good thing, and there are better ones and worse ones of course. If I were 18 again I would have watched this with my girlfriend so we could laugh. For these reasons it deserves a 6. As a movie it deserves a 2.

I just wanted to say I had an odd attraction to the blond in this flick throughout the movie's entirety - as if I knew her some how from another life which I was pretty sure at the time; I didn't. Afterwards, I found out she was Debbie Gibson! How about that? It must have been the lips. And here is some required filler so I can post my thoughts. The movie started out well like most Scifi works but somewhere in here, quality control seemed to get thrown out the window - in regard to plot, storyline and script. It's as if the producer had really really deep pockets or had some odd infatuation with the cast leading the movie to stretch a lot further than it ever should have been allowed to.
