Curse of the Komodo

And we are back. Well as I mentioned on Facebook, I wanted to see some more Jim Wynorski films, so we will journey through the jungles of some remote island (regions of California and Hawaii) and see what mischief we can get up into. In the Isla Damas, an unusually large reptile now roams these jungles. This is Curse of the Komodo.

The girls are "abreast" of the situation.

With a night time excursion into the jungles, a team of military men proceed in, unaware of what lurks in this forgotten region. Hanson(Ted Monte of Komodo vs. Cobra, Solar Flare, Bikini Royale, The Lair and Dire Wolf) are all that's left of the spec ops group because the creatures made them snack food in no time at all. Seriously, I think they may have doused themselves in barbecue sauce and went for the gullet.

Meeting up with Becky (Gloria-Anne Gilbert of Treasure Hunt, Countess Dracula's Orgy of Blood, The Breastford Wives, Cry of the Winged Serpent), daughter of said genetic mad scientist, they can hide behind an electric fence. Just don't whiz on it. Moving on, Nathan Phipps (William Langlois of The Shooter, Tycus, Thy Neighbor's Wife, Cheerleader Massacre, Lost Treasure, Final Examination,The Curse of the Komodo and Bone Eater)and his assistant Dawn (Gail Thackray of Hard to Sorority House Massacre II, Hard to Die, Forbidden Games, Alien Escape, Sucker, Masseuse 3 and Revamped) contact the Naval Chief of the based in Hawaii(um wouldn't they be talking to a commander or higher?  Admitting ignorance of Naval Chain of Command) as their assignment was to create large quantities of food and not gigantic reptiles of mass destruction. 

Electric Lounge Lizard!

 The food effected them and caused them to grow.  Remember kiddies, genetic tampering is the new atomic mutations. It does everything.  Naturally the Komodos slurped down our military boys in no time and they want to bomb the island to avoid any investigation into this misappropriations of funds. Ze superweapons!

The Naval stock footage was a great idea and less time constraint to contend with trying to get a ton of permission vs.just a few aerial shots and then sets built.   Less hassle to ask for a fly by instead of trying to get onto a ship to shoot.

Meanwhile a casino heist just went down with Drake (Paul Logan of L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies: Return to Savage Beach, Stripper Wives, Savage Season, Way of the Vampire, The Vault, Vampire in Vegas and Mega Piranha) Tiffany (Rocky Demarco of Wasp Woman, Demolition High, The Assault, Agent Red, Cheerleader Massacre, Vampire in Vegas and Camel Spiders) and Reece(Cam Newlin ofThe Curse of the Komodo and The Village Barbershop) as they fled courtesy of a helicopter flight with pilot Jack. Hmm, is that Cherokee Jack I wonder.

With a raging storm that was explained happening prior, Jack has to land on the island for their own safety. Oh the irony there, Jack. I love how much of a control freak Drake is. Assuming the radio even worked, he is convinced their pilot will call in the Coast Guard. DUDE! He flew away three crooks. You think he can sidestep the Coast Guard and the local authorities looking into this theft? Oh they had a gun on me the whole time. Especially during the turbulence and that's why I still have a head.

Sir, shouldn't we have red shirts for this mission?

Yes fellow critics, I know. The muzzle flashes are CGI, the Komodo is CGI and yeah I noticed the Enfield Phipps carried was never bolt racked and was treated as semi-automatic instead. Boo hoo.

We can all lose our crap over M-16s being used instead of M4s if you like.

Was curious how evil seemed to get its comeuppance and I loved the disco light poles "electric fence" force field barrier. I know many of my critic brethren want to call this schlocky creature feature when I view it as harmless fun. Admittedly the saliva induced zombification was not explained but you can't have everything.

With the island teeming with komodo life, our thieves find themselves teaming up with the scientists and handymen in order to escape the island and avoid becoming komodo poops.

Not sure why midriffs needed to be seen but Rocky Demarco is clearly crunching those abs. Will our intrepid bunch avoid the super mutations? Will Drake continue to be a control freak? Will Becky fulfill her nudity clause?

There is a conglomerate of pretty faces being attacked by a CGI monster, government cover-up and weapons left on infinite ammo mode. And you point is what? Okay so it's not Gone with the Wind. I'm glad for that. With some mild nudity, occasional foul language, these folk are shooting at tennis balls. Not really smacking each other around, just some meager bitching among the menfolk. Oh yeah, the pissing and moaning is all the guys.

So yes. Have fun with this one. Have maybe a riffing party, drinking game on tropes or just kick back and enjoy a bit of mindless violence. It's all good either way.

She finds Tiffany quite "titillating".
