You know what you're getting yourself into when you sit down to watch a film made by The Asylum but to my surprise, 2011's Mega Python vs. Gatoroid isn't completely terrible. Stalkers and 80's pop enthusiasts rejoice, as this isn't just a big scary monster 'versus' film, it is also a showdown between pop legends Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. How the pair got into making Asylum films is anybodies guess but after Gibson's appearance in 2009's Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus and Tiffany's in 2010's Mega Piranha they seem to be B-Movie hot property. I suspect they were cheap. There are many battles between Snake and Alligator but I do wonder how many people actually tuned in to watch the two former chart rivals go at it in small dresses, armed with nothing but cake and cream. Filth. The CGI is as terrible as you'd expect but the story does get going fairly early on with very little time wasted. It's pretty much action packed from the onset, which is something of a relief from an Asylum film. I didn't hate (like would be too strong a word) the knowingly tongue in cheek attitude and I think it is the best ending the studio have come up with so far. Respect due to the costume designer for managing to keep everything in but I do feel Tiffany's breasts deserved their own credit. At two stars, this is easily the best film the studio have made. Please don't misunderstand me though, it's still awful.
